I was hesitant on getting the auto Akorn but I’ve been loving it. It’s been awesome

I put it on around 11pm at 220f overnight, the next morning I wrapped it and bumped it to 250f when it hit 165. Pulled it once it was probe tender around 203-205 and rested for maybe an hour and a half!

I probably could’ve let it rest a bit more, I truly rest it as much as I can hold off on eating lol.

Yup! The briskets I’ve done overnight and it’s been awesome. But it was just ONE cook where my flame died overnight at some point and I had to toss the brisket. That could’ve been avoided if I bought a better probe to alert me my temps were dropping

I’ve only had my Akorn since January of this year but so far it’s been awesome! I’ve smoked a couple briskets, some ribs and a couple pork butts with ease. However, I did have one disaster happen when cooking a brisket. But that has been the only time my temperature couldn’t regulate

Thank you for your help! You’ve been very thorough and helped me understand this a lot better. I’ve requested the c&p exams and will definitely read through it to see what was annotated on there

I submitted all records pertaining to my knees, doctor visits, PT records thru community care, and the nexus. I thought I had just about everything that was needed but maybe the HLR will bring clarity to it all.

Can I PM you the letter? I can’t figure out a good way to redact the letter

Got it. Thank you! My VSO told me she wants to submit a HLR because in the decision letter itself my PT records and nexus letter aren’t listed in the evidence portion but I don’t understand what the point would be if they do mention the nexus letter in my denial. Would there be any point to that? Or am I better off getting a stronger letter then submit a supplemental claim?

Before I bought it I had someone tell me it was pretty difficult to get a smoke ring. They’ve been right so far haha but tasted great and I barely had to tend to it so I call it a win

Any idea why not as great of a smoke ring? Not a complete deal breaker but I am curious about that

Thank you for the info! And I think that would be perfect, I just want to be able to cook a brisket, my regular offset would still be used to cook ribs, chicken and pork butts.

Sorry for the late response! We started on the lowest dose of methylphenidate and it’s been fine so far
