Lesta80 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 -13DegF this morning when I fired up the keg and put on a lamb shoulder! (-25DegC). I didn’t see any need to change my normal process - Just threw in some Jealous Devil lump, a single fire starter and some bourbon soaked hickory blocks. 40 mins to get the coals going and reach 210. In my defence, it was beautifully and sunny outside, but cold - It’s not gonna get much warmer than that for the next 5 days in Calgary! Anyone done a cook at colder ambient temperatures?

JeffieBoy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Stay warm kids! It’s only minus 12 here today and I decided that the 3/4” of snow that fell overnight didn’t warrant shovelling because of it. I did however decide it was warm enough to toss some ribs on the Akorn for the afternoon and drive my neighbours crazy with the smell.

How was your lamb shoulder roast? I enjoy lamb but never considered smoking. Take car and stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta80 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hey @byee it was really good! Took around 7 hours but temperature dropped below 200 for a little when I got distracted with work emails! Probably didn’t need the wood chunks as it has enough natural flavour... I used a light coating of Hardcore Carnivore Camo seasoning - This goes really nice on shoulders or boneless lamb pieces. I don’t have any photos of the cooked shoulder... But I found a photo of a lamb rack from a few weeks ago.. Covered in mustard and a breadcrumb/garlic/rosemary combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byee Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks for the reply! I’ve put lamb on my list to smoke in the next week or so. How are you liking your FireBoard 2 Pro? Is that a SMAK probe behind the FireBoard? I’ve got the FireBoard 2 Drive and use it every opportunity I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireboard 2 Pro is fantastic... I use it on most cooks (except this lamb meal as I thought the cold ambient temperature might damage the controller) I really love that for a majority of cooks I don’t need extra cables and a power supply! Good eye! That is a SMAK probe.... I used to use the Weber instant read probes, but any splash of water and they would die! The SMAK probes have been really reliable and I just couldn’t justify the higher price of a Thermapen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byee Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I recognized the probe because I have the very same one from Amazon.ca I also dislike too many cables coming out of my grill so I decided to run my pit temperature probe under the top vent cap. I have the FireBoard pit temperature probe piggybacked off the Kamado temperature probe. For my setup, I did purchase a 2.5mm extension cable.
