    Looking For The Best Charcoal

    I like Cowboy lump, and Stubb's ( with vegetable binder) briquettes. Both have always worked well for me, in OK Joe smoker and Weber kettle.

    First try at a turkey - issues with time

    It does sound like a temp control issue. I had an opposite, more pleasant exerience, although was also surprised. Brined a 16lb fresh turkey for 24 hrs, then in fridge to dry for 24 hrs, applied a dry rub, then in OK Joe with briquets, oak, pecan & cherry woods. I ran the smoker a little high...

    Best way to reheat boston butt.

    I often smoke BB a day in advance, and re-heat next day in oven at 300 for about an hour, with butt wrapped in foil; always stays moist. If re-heating smaller portions, I use a saucepan on stove, with a small amount of water for steam, and some sauce.

    Seasoning smoker, ammonia odor?

    Aren't Kingsford briquettes made with a petroleum based binder, as opposed to Stubbs briquettes which use a vegetable binder? I stopped using Kingsford for that reason, and also a chimney starter with paper rather than petroleum fluid. I would eliminate all the petroleum products.
