I cant decide on the Mr. baffler like you have or the Horizon convection plate on my DUO! As a newbie, I need ALL mods! want a brisket soo bad!
how thick is the metal on the baffler? AND do you have anything under your grates when smoking besides a drip pan?

thanks sorry for all of the questions!

I'm sorry I have to chuckle!!! You sound so much like me. All I wanted was a clear cut answer to what will give me the best bbq. Here's the answer......there is none. Honestly, there are so many variables involved. You need to take it all in and decide what's best for you. Some things might work for me, but not work for you. I can tell you, you do need a heat barrier, be it a baffle or convection plate. The best advice was I got was from Gary S.
on one of my first smokes.

Good morning 5oclock, Looks like you are on the right track. Best advice is Smoke, Smoke Smoke, the more you smoke the better you will get and learn your smoker in the process, I think one of the biggest challenges for someone new to smoking is getting to know their smoker. and keeping it simple , ask questions and enjoy it. I see a lot of people who stress out when they smoke, I have a brother-in -law like that big production number, Makes me tired watching him. Smoking should be fun and relaxing.

This should be fun and relaxing. Don't worry if things aren't perfect. You will eventually get there. Just get out there, smoke something, and enjoy.

Do you recommend a higher Temp when Smoking a Butt? I've normally done mine @ 225-250*  I like the " Bark " on yours. I have one in the fridge right now that's going

in tomorrow, already rubbed and doing it's thing. Also, I was thinking when the pork get's to 165-170* I may foil it in an aluminum pan with some Dr. Pepper, what are your

thoughts?

I smoke them hot and fast. I keep my pit around 300 degrees. At that temp it should not take more than 1 hour/lb. When you foil, throw on a little extra rub. I'd take it out of the wrap around 200 IT and place on grates for a half hour or so to firm up the bark. Let it rest 1-2 hours.

Sorry, don't mean to be short with my reply, just got done with a double shift and got to get up in 4 hours for work in the morning. Good luck. I hope too see some of your pics tomorrow after work. Have fun and enjoy. Thumbs Up
 
Good job! I like the basket...did you make it? Dimensions? what dos it rest on in the SFB...it looks like its above the vents which would give it under fire draft vs overfire that you need with charcoal?

I just turned over my charcoal pan on the bottom and pushed it over to the Right as much as possible!
 
Another place to look for a good baffle is bbqsmokermods.com. I purchased the one for my Char-Griller off there and its made by Lava-Lock and Island Outdoors LLC. Im a newbie and just doing my test runs so far ive been able to maintain even temps at 250 and 225 degrees for multiple hours! Love the art of smoking...
