There is a pic there in the Q that shows the fire. I like to start a fire with charcoal to help the wood to get going , its always hot when I start going because of the coals for about a hour and the wood burning. I will prop the lids to let some of the heat out. Then I just add a couple of pieces of wood in the smoke chamber about once every 45mins to an hour to maintain a temp. The temp will go up and down during the 7 to 8 hrs. You have to tend to the grill quite abit to keep the temp close to the 225-250 range. Its a lot of work and also a lot of fun!

I use a sauce very similar to this one but I also add 1/4 cup of honey to sweeten the sauce a little bit, and a little bit of chili powder.....and toss in a pinch of Allspice.......for those who like their BBQ sauce sweet and Spicy

Good lookin butts Smokey. That book you mentioned by Steven Raichlen is a great reference to have, I enjoy it as well. Got two butts exactly the same as yours and lookin forward to doing the same virtually. Just waiting to see the yard bare like in your pictures, without the "white stuff" ! I really scored on the butts however, as there was a sale on at Sobey's for         .99 cents per kg. for three days only. I practically camped outside the store !!!
