That piece of metal on the grate, near the fire box.. Does that work to eliminate the hot spot?

 

[5oclocksomewher]

About an hour into smoke. Just sprayed it down with some apple juice. Put the potatoes on for the potato salad. Smoking 285-300.

Looking good.

Is Buster your official BBQ guard? I have an Aussie who is always next to me when we do BBQ. Just added another dog we rescued from my stepson. We shall see if he is a BBQ puppy. He loves to eat, so I am thinking we will be ok......

Your fire basket looks great. Mine for my old outlaw was made out of scraps we had at the shop. Not pretty, but it did its job.

 

[5oclocksomewher]

Oh yes. Buster watches for uninvited guests. Actually, he'll jump on them, knock them down, and lick them to no end. Good luck with the new pup. They really are mans best friend with no strings attached.

You paid $1.79 lb? Here in nj I paid $3.49!!!!

3 hours into smoke. I threw on some eggs for the potato salad (and a few extra for a snack). I added another lit chimney of Royal Oak lump and some more peach mini splits. Cruising around 300 degrees. Internal temp is 135.

Ya that was a nice sale. I'm kicking myself for not buying more and freezing them.

Looks great.

At 300 degrees that sounds about right.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm going to cover and let it rest for about 2 hours before pulling.
