I always use the minion method to start and need refuel about every hour. Normally I light about half a chimney of KF Comp mixed with RO Lump and dump that over the existing coals. My question is can I throw unlit KF Comp and RO Lump into the SFB or will this over smoke my food? Any input can...
I know this is an old thread but I've got a question. I usually refill my SFB about every hour to maintain temps. I always mix about half KF Comp and RO Lump already lit to the existing coals. Do I need to add lit coals every time or can I just throw them in? I've always pre lit the coals in...
If I were you I'd saw zaw that smoke stack off over the firebox and bolt a steel plate over the hole to start. Is there a vent on the side of the firebox? Below were the wood or charcoal burns?
I used the 321 method at 225* with my spares also. After the 2nd hr. the wind picked up and I had a hard time keeping temps above 205*. After the 3rd hr. I was able to stabilize my temps at 225*-240. They were a bit tough but still real tasty. Maybe next time I'll wait for the meat to start...
I realized that even a normal 12 oz. beer can fits real snug. I used my wife's Miller 64 which fitted perfectly. The holder was a gift so I figured I'd try it out. Does help with stabilizing the chicken on the grates though. I might have her drink one of those 64's and then I can pour some...
I did my first beer can chicken yesterday.
Smoked at 250* for about 5 hrs until IT of 175*
Seasoned inside and out with poultry seasoning and lemon rosemary. Added minced garlic and onion to half can of beer. Shoved a chunk of onion in the neck to hold in moisture. Very flavorful and...
What's even better is my wife was the one to drink the first half of beer!I then proceeded in joining in. Had some friends come over to admire my skills. Great Sunday....Not so great Monday
Smoked this chick today at 250* for 5 hours. I used poultry seasoning and lemon rosemary inside and out. Half can of Miller 64 with onion and minced garlic. IT was 175* when I took it off. Wife gave it 9 out of 10. Great juicy flavor through it all.
I had this chicken on the smoker at 250* for 5 hours today. IT was 175* when I took it off. Used a half can of Miller 64 with some onion and minced garlic. Seasoned the chick with some poultry seasoning and lemon rosemary inside and out and plugged the neck w/ a chunk of onion. Wife gave it...
I've been having trouble with keeping my temps up around 225* with a slight breeze this year. I refill lit lump and briquettes about a half chimney every hour. With the FB damper wide open I dropped to 200* almost instantly. I did find that keeping the damper fully closed helped get me...
