I use KB briquettes. I am planning for 54 unlit ones and about 12 lits. I hope to start low and reach 300-325 in the first half hr. I have use minion before but now I just use what they call "standard method" which is nothing but lit coals on top of unlit ones.
I tried that one last year: total success. My family ask me to repeat it again but I this year I will not brine, just salt and fridge 24 hrs. How am I going to know if I don't try?
I am also planning using my modified ECB. This year I am using both bottom and top crates. On the lower goes a 16 lbs, and on the top a 12 lbs. I need to run the smoker 325-350. Wish me luck!!
In my first attemp, I used so much water that when it reached the 212 and boiled, ran out the water pan falling on top of the red hot coals. Smoking food can be a lot of fun!!!

Yesterday I did smoke for the first time. I had a 4.97pound whole chicken which I did brine on the fridge overnight, nothing fancy, just 1 gal of water bottle (to avoid tap water chlorine), 1 cup of kosher salt and 1 cup of brown suger. I throw in a couple of onions.
The fire pan was looking...
