I used charcoal briskets and wood chunks (not chips). The meat was offset from the charcoal and I had a water pan under the meat. I used butcher paper once it stalled. I think this temp controller (aka fan) really distributes the smoke. I have never seen color like this on my brisket or ribs
The lava lock works pretty good and i am now comfortable that I can set it and forget it but in this cold weather the range will be a bit larger. I was able to dial into a range of 220-240. I did make some mods for the weber adaptor with a pipe fitting to send the air downward into the kettle...
2nd time using my new lavalock temperature controller on my Weber kettle. It was freezing temps outside when I started at 7 am and the controller helped with the fluctuations. I injected the brisket with beef broth and the cook took a long time for this 5.5 lb brisket flat. At about 8.5...
Im in the same boat although I just did a 6 pound flat without a point and on charcoal (Weber Kettle). My plan is to put it into a cooler for 1 1/2 hours once it hits 205/toothpick test. It has been going since 7:30 AM this morning and this is taking forever. I brined with beef broth for the...
Used the Lava Lock controller twice this weekend. Brisket for 6 hours on saturday (4 pound) and Ribs on Sunday (~6 hours, 3-2-1 method). Saturday was a learning experience and since I didn't have a good route for the probes, I ordered silicon grommets with plan to put in for Sunday but they...
Bought a lava lock controller/fan. Should come tomorrow so I will report back on my first smoke Saturday. I will install on my Weber 22" kettle which I have good luck with as far as smoking brisket, pork, turkey, etc.
I use my kettle for long cooks and think a temp control would be helpful especially for brisket cooks that go overnight.
Sounds like +1 for DigiQ. Any other DigiQ users? Do most people not use a temp control?
Looking for a thermo control for my Weber 22" kettle but I would also like a device that will be able to be used with other systems should I change in the future (e.g. pellet smoker, kamodo, other).
I am considering DigiQ or the Pitmaster IQ. Any recommendations on either?
ChileRelleno - Looks great and I have to try the burnt ends with chuck. What kind of smoker do you use? Right now, I use a weber kettle for my smoking and controllng temps while it is a sport, it is getting old. I am contemplating a wood pellet smoker or electric set up. Whats the prescription?
Used the Weber rotissierie for the first time to make a prime rib. Came out great and I would recommend this as an addition to any Weber gas grill. I think they make one for the kettle as well. I will be doing 2 of these (5 pounds each) for Xmas

Made these in my Weber kettle. Coal brickets, pecan wood, and I used butter, franks, garlic salt for the injection. Smoked/cooked for upwards of 3 hours and they probably could have been on there all day without drying out. Soaked to the bone! Great stuff and thanks for this recipe
