    Q View - First Time Smoking - Success 2 Racks of St Louis Cut

    Since that first Saturday smoke, I've thoroughly broken my smoker in. In three weekends I've smoked a total of 10 racks of St Louis cut ribs, and a 9 lb pork butt. I love this thing. I am enjoying it and I am figuring out how to maintain my temps a little better so I don't have to babysit it...

    Maintaining Temps - Way too high!!!!

    I think I've figured it out. What I do now is use about 35 briquettes up as close to the smoke chamber (all the way to the right) as possible. And then I put in unlight briquettes when needed to the left, not on top. Depending on the smoke, once I make it all the way to the far side, then I...

    Maintaining Temps - Way too high!!!!

    This smoker is absolutely not a good smoker. The firebox is a joke. The door shut still wiggles loose about a half inch. The hinge is so weak. Very thin sheet metal. Smoking with this smoker in cold weather, I'd imagine it's a nightmare. Having said that, I didn't expect much more from it at...
