    Need some help with my CampChef 24"

    I have the same smoker. I love mine. It does use a good amount of chips. Most times I add some hourly as well. I've tried soaking the chips but not enough for the hassle imo. I am looking at possibly trying the pellet tube for smoke, esp. Now that there is an adjustable one. The temp control...

    What to smoke for thanksgiving other than turkey.

    Smoke does penetrate because egg shells are pourus. Some guys poke a small hole in the type to let the smoke in even more.

    What Next?

    If you're looking for a shorter cook I'd go to chicken. I do my whole birds between 280-290 and they're done in under 3 hours most times. Higher temp helps with crispier skin too. Same goes for wings or pieces. I'd also suggest a fatties, meatloaf, or country ribs or pork steaks as quicker...

    Bottom Always leathery?

    I'm trying to picture what you're describing. My guess is it's simply drying out too much. Maybe put it in a pan the last couple shrouds with some apple juice. I've done that.. Most times I haven't needed to.

    camp chef vault 24" capacity.

    you may need a rib rack but that should be doable. I have that unit and I'm pictiring how i would do it. Be mindful of the size difference in those briskets. May need to stagger their start times.

    Which gasser to get for my first?

    I use the 24" vault and love it. I was unsure wy I would need the bigger one and am glad i opted for it. Rib racks fit iin easily and theres always froom for e to add/ try out new sides or chef treats while iim doing my regular smokes.
