    Just getting started.

    How many lbs are you putting in there? I usually use lump type coal. (around here there is a brand called B&B, but did use the Royal Oak lump and was pretty impressed with it.) When I buy it it is usually the 18-20# bag. When I am doing offset smoking, it is nothing for me to start with...

What I need is to heat the inside of  this barrel up to 400 - 425 degrees and be able to control it. I thought about using an...
