bjrogg, just because the dial says 450 doesn't mean it is :( , I usually probe around thru hole in lid with meat thermometer to find a truer temp, edges of roaster seem hotter than middle, be careful with flint river, ramp up slow most flint river can have lots of moisture trapped inside it. Bob

Thanks outback I know last time I cooked rook I left at 200 for quite awhile.

All good advice here. Turkey roasters are notorious for achieving different temps than the ones on the dial. I wired fiberglass insulation into the lid of my turkey roaster. Then I drilled a few holes just big enough to allow a meat thermometer to get through. The longer I leave mine at a given temp, the higher the temp goes. If I top it out at 450, within 3-6 hrs after I put that setting on it, the temp will be at it's true max. The middle of the roaster will have temps just a little higher than the dial says. The sides, and especially the ends, get hotter. The last batch I cooked I set at 450 for the max temp. Twelve hrs later the middle was 475 and the ends close to the edge were 525. Monitor your cooker to find out what it is really doing.

I tried some of flint river and really couldn't see any difference. I think I'll turn to 200 over night then start ramping up in morning leave soak a little longer.
