    Where did I go wrong with this butt?? (Qview)

    Two kind of charcoal water smokers. A WSM type allows regulation of temp by adjusting airflow, a water heat sink is not needed. The brinkmanship type has no way to regulate airflow & a water pan is needed to keep temps from soaring. I think it got cooked on too high a temp.

    Not getting smoke flavor infused into meat

    Several things. meats absorb smoke differently , ground high fat absorb greatest, a hunk of low fat ( pork loin ) absorb slower. We do become desensitized to smoke, let a non cooker taste if unsure. For the WSM , for low temp cooks I close 2 of three vents & adjust air flow with the easiest...

    WSM vs Napoleon as300 3 in 1

    The WSM 22 has slightly more cooking area than an 18 with a stacker. The big thing is the 22 makes cooking ribs, briskets & other long or bulky meats easier.

    A-Maze-N-smoker

    I've had one for a year or so, mine only uses sawdust ( easy to make from pellets, wet pellets, they fall apart let dry & you have sawdust) I use mine for cold smoking, smoking in a gas grill ( works great) Any box will work as a smoker, use a lot.

    Smoking with wood

    I would place wood chunks in the pan & cover with unlit charcoal, then add 20 lit briquittes on top. This type of smoker doesn't work well with wood logs as its main source of fuel, the wood is used for flavoring

    Tips for a newbee? such as Do i need a a side box?>........

    No. For smoking small to moderate amounts use an indirect smoking method. Buy or make a charcoal basket ( a grilling wok is common) If you want to smoke a lot ( often ) a vertical smoker is MUCH EASIER & will allow a good nite sleep. Prices run from $80 for a homemade mini WSM ( so easy my wife...
