occasionally. Just finished helping a buddy compete in a texas BBQ cookoff, which was a blast.
I don't take it to that extreme, but love to smoke and grill. here's a little ham: and a turkey breast: (sitting on a fosters) this weekend, more grill than smoke:

Light 5-6 charcoal and place them to one side (not the middle). Usually good for hours. Don't forget that pan to block out the incoming air from the bottom vent. I also wrap the charcoal grate with foil (except under the charcoal) to control the air flow better and get more smoke to the meat. You can also try the Snake method: Also look at Slow n Sear. Seems like it'd be more efficient. Last edited by p nut; 06-13-2018 at 10:00 AM. |

You shouldn't add chips / chunks the whole time you smoke. You don't want too add too much anyways because you will make your meat bitter. Meat stops absorbing smoke early on in the cook.

I have the Camp Chef woodwind and have been getting great results after switching from a Komodo. It’s dummy proof. Actually burns more pellets grilling chicken on high then smoking ribs 8 hours. I’m sure Yoder, etc are nicer but this does the job for less if $ at all a factor.

You can achieve similar results with some strategically placed bricks as well. Hear is what it looks like: |

Does adding non-pre-lit coals give off a weird flavor? I was under the impression they should be ashed over before adding them to the smoker.

I believe pretty much any type smoker can produce great results from a person with a handle on the fundamentals and enough experience with a particular type of smoker.
I really like offset fire box, reverse flow smokers (I'm most familiar with Lang 48") with properly cured hickory and sometimes some fruit wood. But, that's not the most practical setup at the home I have now so it would be nice to figure out how to get back into regularly smoking at home. It's a trade off for sure. I absolutely love the results, but having your phone alarm wake you up at 2:30a to throw a few more sticks in the fire box sometimes sucks. And my "sleep through the alarm" rate is not great. My dad is a competent welder and we've been talking about building a reverse flow rig with plans from smokerplans.net. It's just not something that is easily installed or removed and I don't really want a small trailer parked in my small back yard. |

I usually use hickory, but I acquired some cherry and apricot from my father in law, which have both worked out well. Alder for fish. |
