Also, try piling your coals to one side of the firebox to leave yourself room to "preheat" your wood without burning it so it catches fire much easier when adding to the coals.
I love my Old Country BBQ Pit. It is fully welded, and they come in a variety of sizes and don't break the bank. I have the Wrangler II (discontinued), the Pecos and Wrangler are both larger than this one. Here it is with a 17 lb Brisket.
I would go with an Old Country BBQ Pits. I have the Wrangler and have never struggled for space. It can easily hold 3-4 butts depending on size or 4 racks of ribs. I have also had a 14 lb brisket and I had some extra space. I attached a photo for reference, that's a 12 lb butt sitting directly...
I got started on an Old Country BBQ Pit offset smoker about 5 years ago. I can't imagine cooking any other way. It takes some settling in and learning your smoker but you can get it dialed into hold the temp nice and long.
Hey All!
I have poked around on here for a couple years and finally joined!
I have been smoking on an Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler for about 5 years.
Here's this years thanksgiving turkey.
In past fully cooked hams that i have re-smoked, it's worked out well just putting them directly on the grate. You will lose probably the bottom two slices but it's not much!
If you like more bark and some crunchier bit throughout, you should try wrapping in unwaxed peach butchers paper. It provides a barrier but keeps it from steaming.
