Are you using a charcoal basket in your firebox? I'm using a grilling wok which let's me stack more lump/charcoal to keep my temps between 220-240*in 20*weather
If you live in Wisconsin and are member Smoking Meat Forums you should join this group that is just starting up. The goal is to be able to share our smoking and grilling methods along with recipes, tips, ideas and mods. Let's get this thing rolling! ON WISCONSIN!!!
Hey HuntingOregon. What is your smoker setup? I joined the site just like you since I got so much info from it. I just smoked some spare ribs cut St. Louis style. Did the 321 method which you can find all over this site. Dry rubbed w/ Famous Dave's Rib Rub. Used some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ...
I only drilled two holes on each end so I could hook the hangers when it was flipped over. I didn't want to drill holes all over the charcoal tray because I still want to use it to actually collect ash when I grill. I can take a picture if you want.
I've flipped the charcoal tray over and hung it so it was just above the SFB opening and it works great. I just drilled two holes on each end to hook the hangers into. I can maintain a temp on each end of the CC with a 5 - 10* difference.
Don't let the probes touch the grates. I cut a 2x4 into 2 1"x1" chunks and drilled a hole in each and slid the probes into them. This works great for keeping the probes off the grates as they sit about 1/2" above the grates.
Welcome to the show. This site has taught me plenty also. Let me know if you find any good recipes for smoking sausage. I'm thinking of trying it myself. It's been one heck of a winter for us.
