    Help with the Camp Chef Smoke Vault

    I think your smoker was indeed filled to capacity. All the meat, bet it at room temp or chilled was acting like a heat sink, along with your water pan. This causes your smoker to work harder. You also have to have good air circualtion around your meat. Maybe "stagger" the meat next time?

    I keep my GOSM and CCSV in the garage. Don't wanna keep my babies in the weather. Wasn't there a recent thread about us being obsessed?

    New Smoker - can't wait to get started

    Personally, I take offense to the word "obsessed"! We all know we are all professionals, with lives and careers, and families, and.......uh, wait, I got to go check the temperature on my butt. I'm pulling another all nighter!

    Need a brisket rub and mop for the 4th

    I use equal parts beef broth and Shiner Bock beer. It works for me. I don't mop until about the fourth hour so the bark does get washed off.

    chunks in foil?

    I've seen it done both ways. ANd you don't have to use chips, you can use chunks. Soak them first, though.

    Idea for a Charcoal Basket??

    Not sure this woud be a good choice as it's chromed. The high temps and chrome might give off some really bad chemical fumes. Better safe than sorry. If you can, go to home depot, get a 24 inch by 24 inch piece of expanded metal, measure 6 inches down, 6 six inches in from each corner then...
