I'd turn it up to at least 225 and you could turn it up to 275.

205 won't get you to 205 which is where you need to be. Gotta bump it up to 225 maybe 250

i technically had it at 210, but yes, your point is now well taken

225 is a great temp for low and slow Though I do 250 as often as not.

Never smoke meat at a temp lower than 250. Much more reliable results.

Timing means nothing it's all about internal temp.

right, I only meant timing from a planning standpoint

The Pope

Both time and fuel efficiency and quality. I like the bark at 250 and nobody

The Pope

I've found using 'smart' thermometer has helped me estimate times/temps better..

The Pope

You gotta put it up to 275

I smoke at 225 with pork butts/shoulders. I plan around 1.5-2 hours per pound. Always turns out fantastic.

225! That's the temp you need to smoke meat on
