    Thinking of adding Chargriller Akorn to stable

    I've been keeping an eye on this type of smoker/grill as well. I bought and modded out a ECB..

    Mississippi Roast

    I looked and can't find a thread on this. My wife cooked a Mississippi Roast yesterday in the crock pot. After looking at the recipe, I'm wondering if it could've been done in a smoker. Has anyone tried it yet?

    It's Modded Out.. I Got the Cure Smoke Done

    I got the ECB modded out except one thing.. I have pictures, but will post later.. I did the cure smoke on Saturday. I think this weekend I'll attempt my first smoke. I'm going to do a pork shoulder, but I can't find how hot I need to get the smoker or for how long. Help?
