Eating Charcoal

[yodelhawk]

Welcome! Looks like you are getting a lot of help with your project, so I'm gonna go off ona little side-bar... Where in Germany are you? I grew up on a now closed AF base called Bitburg and my son is now stationd over there. The Germans are known for their smoked meats but not for their BBQ. I miss the old country and go back as often as I can. Have fun, and thanks for your service!!!!

Welcome to SMF. Purchase Jeff's rub and meat sauce here from the forum. Ya can't go wrong. Then you can tweak the rub to your liking. Good luck.

welcome aboard, glad you joined us @ smf.

all i have to say is do not get discouraged, the dogs in the neighborhood eat well when i first started. they still do when i try some new things. keep pluggin' away, toubleshootin' and asking uestions. i promise you will soon be makin better que than you could ever buy.

Good luck

Welcome aboard! I use a small red potatoe to hold my probes at the grate. Does your rub have a lot of sugar...particularly white sugar? If so it will burn even at lower temps. A lot of us use demurara or some other type of sugar to avoid the burn.
