Smoking Fanatic
I ordered my self a pot from Walmart to create myself a mini! Read a lot about them and got a smokey joe sitting in garage not being used so I'll make a mini and join the club. Can't wait to get it next week! Then begin the build for it.
My first charcoal smoker was a Mecco. First smoke thanksgiving Turkey 27* and windy, got er done but oh man that was an epic smoke!

Ahhh, the Old Days...I didn't know Squat about smoking. The only thing I ever Smoked at that time was Ribs. I would add SPOG and Bake them at 300° for 1 hour in the Oven. I used a foil covered pan with Water to steam them. They then went in the smoker with a way too big fire and Billowing White Smoke choking any one that got with in 10 feet of that little black demon. We thought they were ok but reaked of creosote and the excessive lighter fluid I drowned the Charcoal Briquettes in...JJ

I'm happy my posts were helpful. Looks like you did a fine job! Chicken looks awesome. I love chicken on the mini. You'll find your new smoker very versatile. It does a great job on any meat. But my personal favorite mini smoke is chicken. Cant wait to see how the bird turned out!
