Hi ya all, just brought home the Pro Series PBV5 Tuesday. Yesterday I got it all together, downloaded SmokeIt app and loaded up some Comp pellets.
I have a stick burner , a GMG wifi and a Masterbuilt Vert I bought 5-6 yrs ago.
Yesterday afternoon I did the burn off. When it smelled right I put a pork butt in her at 180*(S) at 6pm and let it run til 9:45. I upped the temp to 220* for about 6 hours (148*)and crutched it with some pan drippings, some extra rub and cider vinegar. At 8:30 that butt was 199*.
I was amazed at how little temp swing this unit showed on my graph.
At 199* I did a few pokes with my Atkins thermometer, I felt some resistance opposite of the bone. At 203 all felt good. After opening the foil crutch for 20 minutes it went in the cambro for two hours. When I pulled that butt it was buttery tender and juicy! Smoke ring was about 3/8-1/2" deep.
I'm really happy with the performance of this unit!
