    @Smokin Okie did you see in the video, where in his firebox, he had that steel plate to support his chimney coal starter? THAT plate was what I removed and put in the cook chamber, upside down, to act like a tuning plate. I used the plate the first couple of times, just like he did, which was...

    I'll be HAPPY to be corrected by more (ahem) seasoned members here, but... Tuning plates are metal plates that channel/direct the hot smoke more evenly through the cook chamber in your smoker. More even smoking, and your "hot spot" isn't SO hot or SO localized, and the cooking is much more...

    @John Ramsey I read that there's manufacturing slag and a protective grease on everything, so I did it to get that off. Someone said it wasn't good for ya... I think it's for those who want the extra bit of precaution, which seemed worthwhile to me.

    Like Jeff Spicoli? :) I'll have to check that out. I used some fuel in the corner of the labyrinth, but would much prefer something better.

    @Dvmmatt NICE! I believe that EVERY session will be a little bit of trial and error - and the trials will eliminate errors, while also letting you learn how to improvise to overcome the errors. It's truly a manly sport... playing with fire and dead animal flesh makes me grunt and growl - me...

    @OILFIELDTOOL Thanks! About five, now. Took the hot part of the summer off, as I have had a lot of family activities. Just yesterday, I smoked TWO Boston Butts, and both came out so nicely. I used my labyrinth SUCCESSFULLY for the first time this time around. Keep the walls of the labyrinth...

    Yup! Thank you! I picked up a brisket (flat) yesterday and a couple packs of brats. Going to be some nice weather for us this weekend, so I am looking forward to making the most of it!

    Thanks, neighbor! Tull is great! Saw them in Ft Worth a few years back, Ian Anderson had aged with his fans and the show was slower but awesome just the same! Thanks, Al!

    Love this place, been posting a little bit. Thought I'd give a friendly greeting from the hardscrabble mean streets of the south side of Colleyville.

    Thanks for the like! Yep, it was really rich - the meat was surprisingly evenly tender, and the juiciness was great. It seemed a bit fatty, but I guess that's part of how we get juicy meat. Comments were that it was "as good as a restaurant," "amazing," "wonderful," "awesome," and so on. I was...

    Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, it was everything everyone said it would be! My first Boston Butt ever.
