    newbie questions

    I found images off google (below)...but essentially I used the silver pan as my base- and have it resting on 2 cement blocks so I can lift it off during the smoke- plus air should get through the bottom of it. I drilled out the former water pan for my charcoal- the charcoal pan is now drilled...

    Yeah, I have the gourmet edition, so the pans are slightly different....but i just found what seems to be a 'happy medium' from everything i've seen. Thanks for the smoking tips, ill start with a pork loin to see how it goes- as always, thank you all!!

    newbie questions

    No rope ring for me, and my charcoal bowl is drilled-- 5 holes on opposing sides, then 2 holes on the other opposing sides. Also used bolts to raise my charcoal bowl up off the bottom, along with the 10.5" grate, raised by 2 metal tubes. I have it all resting on the original (silver) charcoal...

    newbie questions

    Mods are all done (although I think the holes in my 2 lid vents might be small)- a few questions to start with... 1-what is a good 'first smoke'? Just want to learn fire control, etc...but possibly still be able to eat the food I cook, lol 2-Once i've nailed down temps, brisket is going to be...

    new guy grill reccomendations

    Thanks for the explanation, that helps a lot! So, if im reading your post correctly, I can use more charcoal with wood chunks to compliment it rather than solely wood-While still using a side burner, and still turn out ok (obviously, depending on my abilities, keeping temps good, etc)?  Did I...

    How much wood, on average (I underatand there are many factors) would a side box stick burner go through for 1 cook?

    new guy grill reccomendations

    Approximately how much wood would I use for, say a Brisket, on a side fire box through the course of a smoke? There is a local BBQ shop that sells 1.7cu feet (aprox 25-30lb) of Hickory for $25....would that get me through 1 cook if yall were guessing?

    new guy grill reccomendations

    1- I might be moving to KC (so that might change the wood situation), but 2- (sorry if I seem super naive) but couldn't I source wood chucks from a local BBQ store and/or Amazon? I understand it isn't as cheap as getting the wood itself but, would that still yield good BBQ?
