    Thanks for the help guys. I did 3-2-1 ribs yesterday, and the temp control was drastically improved. The ribs turned out perfectly also.

    Need advice

    I got Jeff's book and it arrived on Friday. I started reading it yesterday and one of the mods that he suggests is running the chimney down inside the cooking chamber to grate level. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? What material should be used to extend the chimney? Will the new piece need...

    Thanks for the article. I only had a minute to glance over, but I will read the whole thing tonight after work. From what I have seen so far, it looks like it will make a huge improvement. The cooking chamber door does not seem to be sealed very well. I get smoke coming out around the edges of...

    To light the smoker, I used lighter fluid. I picked up a chimney last night at the store. I have been reading through posts on here as time permits and everyone says they are the way to go. I have seen references to the minion method, but have not been able to find a full description of how to...

    I got my first smoker 2 weeks ago, and have used it each weekend since. I made my very first fatties yesterday and had trouble maintaining 225 degrees. The temp kept dropping down to 200 even with the draft wide open. Do I need to put more charcoal in the firebox each time, or do I need to do...

    THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST FATTY

    I made 2 of these bad boys today. I made 1 with hard boiled eggs, and a second one with scrambled eggs. I could not tell a difference in the taste between the 2 varieties. I did have some trouble with the one with hard boiled eggs falling apart after I sliced it. All in all, the both tasted...

    THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST FATTY

    Hi. Another newb here. This looks amazing and I want to try one this weekend, if I can stop drooling on myself long enough to do it. My question is: is there an internal temp that you cook to, or how do you tell when it is done?

    Hi everyone

    Hi. I'm Nate and I just bought my first smoker last week. It is a charbroil 1280. I tried it out over the weekend with some pork ribs and they were awesome. I am hooked. I look forward to getting lots of good advice here.
