    Minion Method

    I use an offset smoker with briquettes using the minion method. It does create a lot of ash, but I have a slide out tray that make it easy to dump and reload without losing any heat. Or not a lot at least. One thing I like doing in regards to the wood chunks is that above my bed of coals is...
