I get a lot of practice:

from 7,000 ft here in Flagstaff.

Either you're one hungry dude or you're feeding an army. Either way, good to have you aboard!

Certianly one of my favourites.

Interesting woodchip setup you've got on that weber - how's that actually work to stop them all going at once ?

And welcome from england :-)

And don't tell fishawn weber have their own forum - we'll never see him again !

Thanks, OZRIC !!!!

Both are true !!!

Howdy, Up North !!

Aardvark, let's satisfy your curiosity....
( this is a re-print from elsewhere, as I type pretty slow...)




I soak shread ( cherry or apple, usually) for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour,
then squeeze out handfuls & pack onto a screamin' brite orange coal pack....
The wood right against the coal dries & ingnites right away & then filters up thru the damp wood above,
like a hookah
or some type of water filter.....
As the succeeding wood dries & burns it continues to filter up thru the remaining wood
& as it reaches near the top, then add more wood.....
Is this a lot of extra trouble to go to ?
Not really, once I got the hang of it...
How ?
By expermenting....
Where did I hear of this?
Thought it up, as dry wood of this type will almost explode if added to a hot fire....
Does it work good ?
Dam straight !!
Produces an extremely smooth smoke flavor that's rarely bitter or overblown...
I've tried different combinations of dry wood & can't come up with anything remotely as good tasting as this....
Do I bomb out & goof it up?
Sometimes, when I'm not paying attention ~~>
The best ones ( like the 1st photo) run @ 190° ~ 210° for up to 3 hours....
Cost of wood abt. $2.00 ~ 3.00 or a bit more....well worth it for my tastes in 'turds....


PS: I never soak anything bigger than this ( chunks, chips, splits )


Here's a little better photo at a diff. angle ~~>



Bacon drippings ?

Yep ~~>

[Ol'Hangtown]

Buckie from Placerville, Great place to hang out the folks here are the best..!!

[1buckie]

RYAN !!!!

I went & dug up your score posting !!!

Great kettle & all that stuff !!!!

The pepper roaster alone is a huge find ....can use it for that or tumbling vegetables at a lower heat, also !!!
The 2 long screws may be parts to assemble & hold fast the barrel?


Great Pickup !!!

Yeah, there's a bunch of folks here that know what they're doing VERY well.....I use only kettles, so may be able to help w/ some specifics there......feel free to ask !!!


Howdy Hangtown in P'Ville !!!

Did you see the kettle that was had up by you in Folsom?
