    Lump vs briquet question (Not which do you prefer)

    Foamheart, I didn't dare try the minion method on my first smoke with this smoker. I wasn't sure how airtight the firebox was going to be. Last time I tried it, I had too many leaks, and ended up with a firebox full of burning charcoal and wood chunks. My slow and low turned onto a 600F+ raging...

    Lump vs briquet question (Not which do you prefer)

    I'm a lump guy, but my home built smoker prefers briquets, almost double the time from briquets. I've got plenty of room for the extra ash, so that isn't a concern. The question I have for the BBQ Gods is, can I add unlit briquets to the firebox without worrying about coating my food with...

    My build, a work in progress. (W/ Q-View!)

    Thanks Dave! I found out the hard way that the smoker likes briquets over lump, and I swear by my lump charcoal. I only got an hour out of a chimney of lump. I've got a double batch of my wife's kick butt calico beans to put on in the morning, and who needs vegetable??? Just kidding, I've...

    My build, a work in progress. (W/ Q-View!)

    Brisket is trimmed, and cross cut for the marinade Marinating over night, it will go on at 8am tomorrow. Ive had people look at me cross-eyed when I tell them I make a marinated brisket.  It is called a "Fiesta Brisket", and it gives the brisket a hint of fajita seasoning taste.  Ive done a...

    My build, a work in progress. (W/ Q-View!)

    I really hate skinning the fresh picnics, but IMO, they make the best pulled pork! Seasoned and rubbed with a combination of Rufus Teague and my own rub. Hard to believe thats almost 25 pounds of pork on that smoker...

    So, what do you do with a smoker with a 15 sq ft cooking area? You do 1 brisket, 2 fresh picnics, 2 chickens, and some sausage!

    My build, a work in progress. (W/ Q-View!)

    Ok, now the fun stuff!  On 1 chimney of charcoal, I was able to get the temp up to 195F, and I came close to 350F with 2 chimneys of charcoal, with the bottom dampers open, and the flue closed. 2 chimneys of charcoal, 1 decent sized chunk of wood will maintain 230F for 1:45 without messing...
