Should we chip in for some Thomson Water Sealant for that deck? I hope you make your guests sign a waiver and tie off before they venture out on that ankle ripper.

Nice rig though....

The first bps is springfield milktoast.

Secondly, never smoke right to left.

Left to right or vertically.

He needs a patio mat...a big thick patio mat...



You know I'm just teasing Chris but, I'm naming that bush behind your "awesome smoker" Godzilla and the one eating your bench on the far side Rodan...

How do you control temp with real wood? This is the problem that I ran into.....it seemed like I was fighting to hold it around 225.

The best way I can explain it is this: Clean smoke is more important than the temperature... and it's easier to maintain clean smoke with a log that is on fire.. and a log that is on fire (for the smoker I've got) runs natural around 250-300 degrees..

If you were fighting to hold onto 225 degrees, you were prolly not feeding enuff wood in - don't be scared - clean smoke is more important than temp. ... I use a turkey fryer burner to start the next piece of wood before I throw it in.. I will demonstrate in the next photo when it's time... burning wood like a m'fcker... ROMF

Props on homemade charcoal but you are giving out some bad advice here, masquerading as an expert.

give me some better advice than clean smoke and I will listen ... I have 3 gauges (I do not totally trust) & as I get used to the smoker I will be able to lower the temps & maintain proper smoke...

That's what I was thinking as its similar to the old school approach...ie shoveling coals from a secondary fire into your pit. Dry wood straight on the cook fire was too volatile in heat and smoke for me to try again.....of course my rig is a POS too.

I admire your conviction....that's a lot of work.

Edit: also, when I said fighting to hold 225 I meant to keep it down to 225...the burning wood wanted to run much hotter...

imo, 250-300 works well... I'm gonna let this rest for over an hour once it's done.. clean smoke & rest time are most important to me.. just gotta know when to pull it off...

Thank you.

I was gonna pull it off and wrap it with paper at 4 hrs/160 degrees...but I'm at 3hr 15 min/155 degrees (do not totally trust the gauges) ... I sacrificed running hot to compensate for the smoke.. Adjusted wrap time is now 3hr and 45min.. This might be a record setting speed brisket
