Happy Memorial Day. Getting ready to fire up the smoker. 2 slabs of ribs rubbed and coated with brown sugar chillin in the fridge. Made some mods to the rub from last time.
Last time had problem maintaining temps. Going to build fire on grates in SFB. Will build a fire box in the near future...
Thanks for the brining tip. Made some breasts and they were the juiciest I ever had before the rib cook. Just need to figure things out and make some if the suggested mods. The dried chicken was my fault since I pretty much did it by trying to get the meat up to temp. I'm definitely going to get...
Interesting. I bought the grill as a grill and added the smoker as something to try. Little did I know it would become this new obsession. Enjoy. As bad as my first try was the ribs were the best I ever had. I'm hooked since it can only get better.

Ok after reading a bunch figured out what I did wrong. Rinse and repeat. Ribs came out good and so did fattie. Chicken was dry. Had to finish in oven. Should have wrapped chicken like I did the ribs in the oven. Here are some before during and after pics.
Ribs came out the best
Ok. Think I may have answered my own question by doing a search. I think the biggest thing I can do is to get a charcoal basket and change to lump coal. Airflow was definitely restricted looking back.
Will try flipping the charcoal pan too.
Any recommendations on a remote thermometer? Drove...
