to 300 degrees we’re gonna gowith the hot and fast method for thiscook if you do it correctly you will notnotice much of any difference from thelow and slow to this method one crucialstep for using this method especiallyfor a beginner is we’re gonna be placingour butts and half pans for two reasonsone to keep your smoker cleanwe’re gonna be using a pellet smoker andit’ll create a huge mess – because it’sgonna trap all of that moisture thatcomes out of the butt in the pan whichyou can reintroduce later now I want youto look at how easy this is to clean upyour messI’m telling you 30 seconds
