    Smoking a shoulder today! Using hickory chunks. Got a cabbage with some apple puree on it and a few taters on the lower rack. I'm not too sure about the drippings from the meat getting on it, but I have no choice. That's the only way I can do it. It'll work or it won't.  Shoulder on top. ...

    Water pan Potatoes

    Anybody with an ECB throw potatoes in the water pan for about an hour toward the end of cooking meat? I usually do a 5# bag of plain white ones. My wife likes them better than the meat! They make filler home fries, too. Scott
