    First smoke on a Kettleman yielded unexpected results, would love some advice for next time!

    That sounds INSANE. You have it down to an art. I can't remember the last time I didn't cook on my birthday, you know my pain well. I'm too much of a kitchen control freak to let anyone else do it though! What's the commercially enhanced part, out of interest? And regarding chilling then...

    Thank you guys. The bark definitely looked absolutely great last time round, very happy with it for a first try! Just gotta get that meat tenderised better. Given I'm going to be entertaining for the latter half of Saturday, I think I'm gonna go ahead and smoke it for 5 hours or so then stick...

    Newbie wondering what the next steps are to improve on my first smoke?

    Cheers, Sauced! Stuck my story in the pork grilling forum and I've already had some invaluable advice. Looking forward to reporting back this weekend.

    That's really interesting. I guess if / when that happens, I'll just persevere for a few hours further. Assuming that wrapping the meat at 70c will accelerate the process, right?

    Hey Ray! Thanks a lot man, only a quick response for now as the above kept me up an hour past my UK bedtime, but it does definitely sound like impatience got the better of us and we should've left it in for much longer! I never thought tough dry meat would get juicer later down the line. Only...

    Hey team, Nice to meet you all in this sub-forum! Newbie here; I’ve just acquired a Char Broil Kettleman to up my BBQ game, a little gift to myself after hosting a successful cook-up for my birthday every year for the last however many! Last Saturday a pal and myself decided to try smoking for...

    Well, what a friendly bunch! Thanks guys, I really appreciate it :) Already spent some weeks browsing Jeff's content online before I signed up here, the guy certainly knows his stuff and it's all been invaluable. Signed up for his newsletter too. Certainly a long road ahead for me in this game...

    Newbie wondering what the next steps are to improve on my first smoke?

    Hey all! And nice to meet you. I'm a BBQ fan from London, UK and tried my first home smoke last week with some pork butt and beef short rib on my Kettleman. I have read a lot on places like this and similar sites about the things I should / shouldn't do when smoking and followed it best I...

    What's up everyone! Carnivore here new to the smoking game...

    ... And here to learn more :-) Especially given how well my first attempt went yesterday (or rather, how well it didn't go). Kitted out so far just with a Char Broil Kettleman and especially keen to hear from other members who've successfully used it for slow and low cooks... Looking forward...
