Only 3rd time using this

I needed to get more practice stick burning in my vertical trail master.

Here we go.

Used one chimney on lump to get started then added some sticks.



Tried low temps at first.



Smoke was good. Can't even see it here



Added the wings.



As the wood burned down I added more sticks. No more lump.



Had to keep the fb door open some to keep the smoke clean.




Bad pic here.



I bumped the temp to about 300 when they was bout done. Burning all wood it like to run 275.
I was scared to taste them when they looked like this.



But they tasted awesome. Nice smoke and skin.



I need to try a butt for a long cook.

How do you stick burners run your fb? You use all wood like I did or add lump as needed?

First off looks good.

After I get the fire going I use just strait wood the whole time.

That's what I did. Low and slow won't work for this smoker with all wood I don't think.

You should be able to do low and slow. I just have to make the splits I use really small and only put 1 in every 45-60 minutes or so.

I need more practice then

Looks great! When I use the off set, I start with lump and then it's all sticks from there.

Practice and use will get you there with the stick burner.

Thanks CB. These wings I thought would be over smoked, but they were good.


Yes, I need to practice more. It was windy and raining while I cooked today. Tough conditions.

The wings look delicious Adam!

I use straight wood, for low & slow you just have to build a smaller fire.

Cut the splits in half with a chop saw.

Lately I have been doing everything at higher temps. 270-280.

It gets done quicker & I think the meat is juicier.

Adam the wings look good Thumbs Up
I agree with what Al said, I'm usually burning my offset about 275...With all wood
Pork butt would give you some good fire management experience, the more you do it the easier it gets.
