Hello all-
Im new to the art of smoking...have been using a ECB off and on for years. I wanted to upgrade to a offset and found my self in posesion of a Chargriller w/ fire box...not sure if it was the best purchase, but its mine none the less! First go at it was this weekend...not to happy with the results. I ended up with a turkey that is almost black and a smoke flavor that is too strong. I should have done my research first! Some changes im planning to make for this weekend include....using mostly lump charcoal and some wood (vs. using all wood which is what i did this weekend), adding a baffle to the fire box (need some help on this, not sure how it should be done), cutting off the smoke and just using heat at some point. Looking for some sugestions and to learn from those that have gone before me!!! Thanks for the input!! MIKE
