    Grilling without a water pan is a great idea. Was about to replace my charcoal griller. NOT NOW!!

    My wood is stored outside and this year's cord delivery is split into very small pieces (frustrating for my fireplace), I like the idea.

    Awesome guys, thx for the advice. My cord of oak this year is very dry so maybe that will help. Also, I will add in charcoal to the mix. Best payback would be for me to follow up with photos of better smoked meat so look for a followup here when the weather warms up.

    I've had this smoker for several years and love it considering the cost. It is an uninsulated smoker. Great for brisket but I need to lighten the smoke for ribs. Was a a rib place recently and I need to get better. Smoker photos:

    I went 162 deep inside, A turkey is a tough smoke, legs and outer areas were 170. All it took was forgetting about it for a few minutes extra while I cooked inside the house. The brine is so important, it was juicy regardless.

    Perfect bark, looks like bark and the taste had bark. Everybody was happy. I did 7ish hours on the smoke then 5 more wrapped.
