    Coal Set up In offset smoker

    I keep the firebox side closed pretty far, but not all the way. The way I've been doing it is lighting another chimney of charcoal to add in to the firebox once the temp gets to the low end of my desired temp, but then that makes the temp spike, and I'm adding new charcoal every hour and a half...

    Coal Set up In offset smoker

    I have an OJ Longhorn 3-1 grill/smoker. My biggest problem so far is keeping the temp steady. I used permetex copper to seal all the seams and the doors and that helped a ton. while doing more research, and after watching a youtube video, I have a feeling I've been doing the charcoal all...

    1st Post smoking 2 diff size butts

    Meat turned out pretty well. Fall off the bone. Both temps ended up getting to about 210, so they jumped up pretty quickly at the end. Flavor was wonderful. The meat wasn't dry ,but if I pulled it off at 195, is the meat then even still moist, or should I use a drip pan and use those juices to...

    Smaller one stalled out a bit. Was sitting at 180 about 20 minutes ago. Wanted to pull them off about 2 or 230 so went ahead and wrapped that one. Larger one at 190

    At 12 hours and 7 hours I'm at 178 and 162. Holding a pretty steady 225. Timing may end up being pretty decent for my first go around.

    1st Post smoking 2 diff size butts

    You know ,that's a really good idea. Too bad I just saw this post. Got the first butt on last night at 10. Had some issues getting the temp stabilized the first 3 hours or so. Put the 2nd butt on at 3. Since then I've finally gotten the temp to stay a steady 220 to 230. Figure I'll check the...

    I've done a couple chickens and ribs. Maintaining that heat has been tough. That's why I sealed off the seams and lids.

    Got the meat seasoned up. Also, attached a pic from my weekend project to seal up my air leaks. Used permetex copper to close up seals, and lids. Covered it in saran wrap then closed the lids. Hopefully it will help regulate the temp better.

    1st Post smoking 2 diff size butts

    Hey everybody. I've done some looking for info on smoking 2 butts, but I have 2 different size butts I'll be smoking. One weighs 9.5 lbs, one weighs 4.5 lbs. Should I put them both on at the same time? Should I plan on it taking 30 hours to smoke both if I go by the 2 hour rule? I plan on...
