    Charcoal

    After using both Royal Oak & Kamado Joe charcoal, I like the Royal Oak better. The Kamado Joe charcoal is much denser than the Royal Oak. It takes a long time to fire up. It will be good for an extended low and slow smoke since it burns much slower due to its density. Its make up is much...

    Brining Experience

    Charcoal Container

    Okay, what kind of container is good for keeping lump charcoal in? I will need to keep it outside under a deck so it will need some kind of container to help keep it dry from the elements. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gator Navy

    What Thermometer??

    Gator Navy here. I am a newbie to smoking so after looking at various thermometers, I am wondering what is a good thermometer to purchase? A Maverick or Weber look like good thermometers. What is the consensus model used by the majority of SMF members? Thanks to all.

    Kamado Joe

    I just ordered my Classic Kamado Joe. Should be in in a few weeks. I am looking forward to learning how to use it and smoke some beef, pork, chicken, & turkey. I think my biggest challenges will be temperature control, use of chips/chunks, & cooking times.

    Hello to the SMF. I am new to this forum, but not to grilling or use a charcoal grill. I have been using a gas grill for the past 15 to 20 years.
