That’s exactly what I’m doing. This is one of those Brinkman cabinet smokers. It’s bouncing around between 200 and 212 degrees. When it dips below 200, I stir the coals and it perks right back up.
You’ll be fine.
I run about 230 degrees myself
Good luck with the butt, Paul, be sure to let us know how it comes out. My only suggestion, every time your tempted to peek, have a beer instead.
