I now there are variables, but how long should a load of charcoal last. I haven't tried the minion method yet. Should one load last several hours or will I need to reload for more time? The basket is 8"wideX8"longX7"deep. Iam using Kingsford and oak.
Thanks for the advice. I don't rely on the gauge that is on the grill, all it is good for is plugging the hole. I'm using a "Taylor" temp gauge that I assume is correct. I will try the "minion method".
I'm new to this so I've spent a little more than average this year. I've bought a new smoker along with the gadgetry, which keeps increasing. I'm not married so this isn't a problem.LOL
I have just started smoking. I tried getting a fire going and tried to maintain the temp. I thought while doing this I would smoke something while doing it. I got a temp of about 250 when I through the meat to it. Naturally the temp dropped while doing this. After this the temp would not stay...
The smoke I lose is not heavy. The temps fluctuate quite a bit. It is in no way what could be called stable. It was a little breezy when I was doing this. I'm using mainly charcoal and adding a chunk of wood after it gets going good.
I've noticed that when smoking that some smoke, not alot, is coming out around the edge of the lid. Is this a problem that needs fixing or is it common? I can't download a photo, it's the barrel type with sidebox.
Thanks, thats what I'll do. One thing should be mentioned, that when working with this material, be careful with edges. When I got through I looked like I'd been in a knife fight and lost. LOL
