    Thanks all! That pic makes everything look crooked, but it's actually in pretty nice shape.

    Brinkmann Smoke King Deluxe - Fresh Paint!

    I've been neglecting my trusty Smoke King, so I decided to give it a fresh coat of ceramic paint last weekend. Still need to replace the spring handles and saving the base for another day (paint is solid, just oxidized) but it makes me want to cook on it even more now... Can't truthfully say...

    Sous vide for holding temps for service?

    Interesting idea - it does seem a bit fidgety (lots of bagging, unbagging, on to the grill, etc.), but it would probably work. There's a technique of resting meats in a beurre monté (butter that remains emulsified at higher temps) - that reduces the meat's temp and keeps it moist. I've tried to...

    Foggy in Atlanta - Smoking Butts - First time with A-Maze-N Smoker - Q-View

    Took a few pounds to the office for lunch - didn't last long. I guess that's a good sign. Got a big thumbs up on my version of my grandfather's restaurant sauce - infused with coffee & palm sugar. Time for a nap now.

    Foggy in Atlanta - Smoking Butts - First time with A-Maze-N Smoker - Q-View

    Thanks, guys - that all makes sense. Got the A-Maze-N about 3 weeks ago and this was my first chance to try it. I'll try all of your suggestions on the next smoke! Everything came out great though. Taking half in to the office tomorrow for feedback.

    Foggy in Atlanta - Smoking Butts - First time with A-Maze-N Smoker - Q-View

    I'm sure he will. I know it's not optimum for hot smoking, but I wanted to try it. I'll definitely be using the A-Maze-N for cold smoking soon.

    Foggy in Atlanta - Smoking Butts - First time with A-Maze-N Smoker - Q-View

    OK, so the A-Maze-N jumped the channel and the whole thing started to go. Spiked the temps but I pulled it out in time. No flames, just a lot of heat. I'll have to read up on it again and practice. Dust was below the top of the channels and lightly tamped. Tented it to keep grease from dripping...

    Foggy in Atlanta - Smoking Butts - First time with A-Maze-N Smoker - Q-View

    Nasty weather in Atlanta this weekend, but I've got 3 butts that weren't going to wait. Rubbed yesterday and on to the smoker this AM. First time using the A-Maze-N.  A-Maze-N lit no problem, but smoke output seems a little lighter than I would prefer (I only lit one end... Next time I'll...
