Hi all...
I'm doing my first combo smoke tomorrow night.
I am doing chicken starting about 1-2 pm, and then that evening, when the chicken is done, I'm going to do a pair of butt roasts.
I planned on slathering the butt roasts with mustard, and then using TX BBQ Rub #1. Anyone ever used that rub with mustard slather? Or should I use worcestshire?
Anyway, I planned on using lump. I figure the chicken will take approximatley 4 hours. At this point, I think the lump will be burned down to embers, (the wife mistakenly bought Cowboy Lump, so I figured chicken was a good small smoke to do with that crap) and I was going to use those embers on top of a full bowl of new charcoal... either kingsford, or Royal Oak Lump. From that point, it would be minion method, obviously.
I haven't used lump as of yet, and this is only my fourth smoke. Anything special I should know about lump? I've heard the Royal Oak is good stuff and I shouldn't notice too much of a difference between it and Kingsford with burn temps or times due to its consistent nature.
Are there any chinks in this armor? Ways to do things better?
Thanks!
Chad
