As you said pellets will burn up too fast. Go with chunks. You'll probably only use 3-4 pieces per cook depending on how much smoke you like. A bag should last quite a while.
Smoked an 8 pound Boston butt today. Rubbed it down on last night to hang out in the fridge. Put it on this morning at 7 at 270. Used a komado style grill and burried my wood chunks in the charcoal. I never tried that before but it was a winner. I had a thin blue smoke all day. Not bitter...
I would not recommend Bradley either. I've owned one and the temp issues were not good. Could not get it above 250. And after adding meat it took forever to recover. Also, the pucks can get a bit pricey and hard to find.
Made some smoked drums on the pellet today. Half with Killer Hogs AP and KH BBQ and the rest with Webber Kickin' Chicken rub.
Finished them in oven at 375 for 10 to crisp skin. Turned out nice.
Agree on the digital. Picked up an inkbird a while back for $15. I have one of these manual ones in my kitchen that never gets used. It looked just like yours. Put it in some hot water and it shot right to 130. Try it in some boiling water.
I purchased one for my komado a couple years ago from the cover store. I've been happy with the quality.

Tried a new to me cut of beef today.
Beef short ribs
Rubbed down with olive oil and SPG.

Then moved to a braising liquid of beef broth, red wine, SPG, butter and worcester...
Kingsford for briquettes.
For lump I've only ever used RO but I picked up a bag of jealous devil this fall that I haven't broke into yet. Then found my local Lowe's sells Komado Joe big block for $20 a bag so have some of that on deck too.
Thanks for the input. I realized I have a long shallow disposable aluminum plan that I can bend into an L shape and make my own divider. I'm either going to try that or place on a rack suspended over a pan.
Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've been smoking for about five years now and I'm finally getting around to attempting my first fatty in the near future. I do my smoking on a round Primo komado style grill. But I currently don't have a charcoal divider and thus have no way...
