    Weber Kettle Question

    Anyone want a used Smokenator? I have had good results with the fire bricks and have no need for the Smokenator.

    Weber Kettle Question

    ^ I don't have any pics to show at this point but my setup is the same as yours with the only difference being I have two fire bricks between the coals and drip pan. Thanks for the tip on the wood, I was unaware they burn that way - this should help keep the temp. a little lower.

    Weber Kettle Question

    I did a 4 1/2lb Butt yesterday. I used about 60 briquttes and at 5 1/2hrs still had fuel left. I only lit 6 to start and put all at one end and let burn across.

    Weber Kettle Question

    I did a test run yesterday with the fire bricks. I put the bricks about a 1/4 of the way across the bottom then filled the short side almost to the cooking grate with charcoal and a few chunks of wood. On the meat side I put a peice of foil down under the drip pan to deflect the air to the heat...

    Weber Kettle Question

    ^ I have a Smokenator and there are pros and cons with it. If you put the water pan directly on the coals like instructed you will find yourself refilling it every hour.

    Weber Kettle Question

    Yes I can get a fairly consistant temp. I do get a big variance between the dome temp and the grate temp. I think that is a thermomerter issue so that is why I ordered the dual probe Maverick. This may be a stupid question but does it take longer to do two 6 to 8 lbers vs one larger cut?

    Weber Kettle Question

    Anyone out there ever do an all night smoke w/a kettle? I'm looking to do a couple of Butts but I'm a little leary about setting up and going to bed. I have ordered a Maverick dual probe w/alarm for safety. I have seen where fire bricks as a barrier help w/ temp. Any help or suggestions. Thanks

    Hey From NC

    Mike from NC. I am not a serious smoker but I do grill all of the time. I currently have a Weber Summit and a Weber Kettle with a Smokenator. I am looking to get a smoker that I don't need to baby-sit so I am researching at this time. This looks like a good place to be for that info.
