On the Kamado at 12 noon at 225F. What time should it come off?




I think the rule of thumb is 1-1.5 hours per pound. Some people cook hot and fast at like 300. Supposedly still turns out fine. I'd open the vents more if you want it done for dinner.

The temperature just got to 225F. I remember where the the vents were set when I last used it 2 years ago. I am monitoring it. I am thinking of testing arond 9PM. If it has to stay on till tomorrow, so be it.
Edit: I just checked and the temp jumped to 275F. I closed the top vent a little more and will check again later.

I did a butt a couple of weeks ago and started it at 9am. I think I took at off at like 1130pm ha. A bluetooth thermometer is nice so you don't have to babysit it.

I used a pair of binoculars and looked out the back window in the past. I put a meat thermometer in the top vent. The thermometer in the stove body reads 300F right now. It always reads high.
