    First smoke with a Char-Griller Akorn, 5lb pork butt and a few sausages.

    So I had my camera standing by to take some finished pictures, and I completely forgot. I got caught up in trying to get everything pulled in the middle of the game (which was horrible, BTW, Texas found their mojo when we lost ours), and it never crossed my mind to just reach over and take some...

    First smoke with a Char-Griller Akorn, 5lb pork butt and a few sausages.

    Hi all, this is my first time back in a long time. I feel bad about my last time here (two years ago) when I tried to show off a smoker build (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/98436/big-blue-egg-finished-build-of-the-19-flower-pot-smoker) then disappeared after I never got it to work right...

    Airflow problem? (Blue Egg Ceramic Pot Smoker issue)

    Okay, quick question here. I'm having an issue keeping my coals (lump) hot in the smoker. I use a Weber chimney to get them going, dump them into a granite colander, and put the top lid on to get the temps up. They spike to about 250-300*, then slowly go down after that. I think the coals are...

    Big Blue Egg: Finished build of the 19" flower pot smoker.

    Both pots are about 35 lbs, so it's a bit heavy, but even when the internal temp was about 170*F (I never got it higher because I couldn't get more than two chunks of lump charcoal to catch fire, getting a chimney starter tomorrow) it was only warm to the touch on the outside. Handles would be...

    Big Blue Egg: Finished build of the 19" flower pot smoker.

    Welp, here's the final design. I'll give a basic rundown of the construction, but it's actually not too terrible complicated. Everything I used besides the thermometer, the colander, the gasket, and the J-B Stik putty can be purchased at Home Depot.  Major parts include: 2 19" Ceramic Cobalt...
