Bible says, tribulation worketh patience, patience experience, and experiance hope. So I do have hope.
My first smoke went off well. I learned alot yesterday with my first attempt at smoking. Here is a picture of the final, and those wicked beans are awesome (cant screw them up).
I used the 3-2-1 meathod and thought to myself they've been in there half of forever, they'll be dryer than a well diggers arse. Not the case thank goodness.
There are so many questions I dont know where to start.
I know I screwed up the rub (too much, I think)
I used a cheapy themometer on the grate, which I will mod this week. the stock through the lid was 60 degrees low.
I need to add baffle and tuning plates
I need basket for coals, oh and the small handle for the coal drawer gets hot, duh!
Alot of smoke came from under the lid, I saw some mods for that.
Here is a question for y'all. Is there a rule of thumb as to how often you add charcoal to keep up the temp?
I had a great time and look forward to the next smoke.
