For the education. Been playing with my home built Reverse Flow for a while now. In the beginning I struggled, a lot. Several folks here offered advice. Much of it was helpful. Even the advice that didn't help did, in a different way. Taught me a bit of patience....and to open my eyes and look at things a bit different. Several times I didn't understand the thinking of the advice....and I would become a bit belligerent. If it didn't make sense it would often frustrate me.
Yesterday we loaded the grate with 30 or so pounds of butt & chuck roll. Beef got smoked for 7 or so hours before being loaded into a couple DO in the Eggs. At times the RF was chugging, smoking a bit on the heavy side. In the past I would have ran out there and tossed more fuel on in a panic. But now I look at the fire & troubleshoot the problem.
But I no longer hover over the RF. Pay attention to the temperature and just let it work its magic.
We shredded the meat last night. Had a few tastes as we went. Yesterday's cook provided the most moist, flavorful shredded beef & pork we have ever made.
So again, a very heartfelt THANK YOU for all the help...
Wishing every one has a very joyous Holiday Season...
Merry Christmas
