Hey everyone,
Smoked a leg of lamb on Labour Day. Got it all on video and it's been posted to my YouTube channel. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
We've tried the Monterey Jack and the mozzarella, and they were both perfect! I'm wanting to get into the old cheddar, but we should probably finish the other stuff first!

I did a 3 lb flat a few weeks ago. It was done in about 2 hours. I pulled it at 200 and let it rest for a couple hours. Great flavour on it, but it was fairly dry. I didn't wrap it though, which is realize now was my downfall.

I just smoked some cheese yesterday too. Outdoor temps were in the 90s, so I was worried the cheese would melt. But a water pan filled with ice helped keep cooking temps in the good range.

I have the same smoker, the Napoleon Apollo, and I always use it with both middle sections in place. I've never had a problem with temp management in that set up and I find it holds the temps fairly consistent in that configuration.

Had a hankering for some smoked cheese, so while I'm off work, decided to get the smoker going to smoke some. Not your traditional cold smoke, but it worked out wonderfully! I've got it wrapped in the fridge right now, so we'll see how it tastes in a few weeks.
If you're looking for a charcoal grill that can do it all, you can't go wrong with a Weber kettle. A good Kamado is another option as well.

That's taking organization to a whole new level, my wife would love that. Just remember, any time you add food, the pit temp will drop as a new mass is introduced into the cooking chamber, so you'll need to adjust accordingly.
I had no idea that was you! Although, the name should have tipped me off here. I'm Games N' Grills in case you were wondering who this weird stalker is...
I've got a channel. It's kinda weird, focusing on video games and BBQ/outdoor cooking. Only got a few cooking vids so far, but I'm working on some more. Check me out!
Lid thermometers are usually horrible. Stock ones that is. You can buy after market ones that are just fine. I don't even bother looking at mine anymore. I always just use the temp probe I have at grill level.

Seasoned with The Keg Steak seasoning. Seemed to be a good rub for a brisket. Smelled very peppery. On for about 2 hours now, about to hit the stall if there is one. Looking good so far!

Pork is good at 165 I believe and beef is less than that so you should be okay. Both will keep cooking for a bit after you pull them and let them rest. I'd say you'll be okay, but I will gladly defer to someone with more expertise.

The rise is evening out now so I'm feeling much better. I was worried this thing was gonna be done in 2 hours. I'm holding steady around 250 and it's at 148 now. It's looking great already. I've sprtized it once just before that hour mark with a mix of apple juice and apple cider vinegar.

Did you wrap it at all? Just doing my first brisket today so I'm not an expert by any stretch, bit I've read and seen that wrapping helps keep it moist and juicy.

I'm finding that it's cooking VERY fast. It's been on for about 35 minutes now and it's gone from 61 to 127 IT in that time. I have a feeling it'll be done way before I expected it to. I plan on wrapping at 165 and riding out any kind of stall there might be.

I've got a relatively small brisket flat that I'm doing up tomorrow while having some friends over. Also got a couple chickens. Any advice for the brisket? It's only about 3.5 lbs, so will I hit a stall? I was planning for about a 6 hour cook and a roughly 2 hour rest wrapped in foil and towels...
