I’m considering doing an over night cook. If I set it to 225 and put a pan a water in there to help keep it moist, can I just set it and forget until the morning? I’ve never done an overnight cook.

I would set my temp closer to 200 for an overnight cook just to be safe. 225

I typically set my overnight cooks to the low setting on my rec tec
