    How much Charcoal do you use?

    Ok before the smoker goes over the hill!! How much charcoal do you use on an overnight smoke of brisket. I threw a 12lb packer in a 10 last night and now at 1PM it is just about done. I used a 20lb bag of kingsford and a 12 lb bag of Stubbs lump I found at Lowes. 30lbs of charcoal just seems...

    Where to find better Charcoal?

    Was thinking the same. I typically use Kingsford because Lowes around memorial day and the 4th have the two 20lb bags for $12 this year. I am doing a brisket and tried a bag of Stubbs Natural lump, I found at lowes. I wasn't impressed. I have tried the cheap wal-mart brand and ddin't like that...

    Urgent Beer Can Help

    Looks great. I have used soda and beer when I have done them. I have not noticed any flavor change regardless of what I use. The can and liquid just steams up and evaporates in the cavity. I typically just find the cheapest beer I can find and buy a 12 pack. That way I always have a few cans...

    Smokefest Since 1 AM

    Thanks Al. The venison jerkey was half great and half junk!! I had it on the top rack of the verticle and moved it down lower when I was waiting on the brisket to finish up. 1/2 of it was like charcoal!!. Should have left it higher. Still learning with the vertical. Wife made a great comment...

    Smokefest Since 1 AM

    Everything came out great. Forgot to take a pic last night of the brisket so I took one of the leftover this morning. Ribs fell off the bone. Brisket was tender as could be. Brought it up to 195 and foil wrapped and in the cooler for an hour before serving.
