Thanks for the video link Chris.

BFletcher- Thanks for the link. That was very helpful and some interesting reading. Tim- thanks for the info. I think that will help get me on target. The wood I bought is from Smokinlicous also.

Anybody using wood chunks from a specialty supplier such as Smokinlicous, Maine Grilling Woods, Carolina Cook, etc.? If so how many chunks is typically needed in an 18" SMC? All I have ever used in the Weber is a couple of chunks from the big box stores and Im curious if it is the same for...

Thanks Tim!

I have two Honeysuckle White in solution turkey breasts that my mom gave me to smoke for Thanksgiving. Obviously they don't need any more salt because of the solution they have been packaged in. Im seeking suggestions for a rub or seasoning to use on these turkey breasts that will help enhance...

When adding more rub before mixing, how much do you recommend adding? Add it lightly, moderately, heavy? I wouldn't want to over do it if that is a possibility but OTOH would want to add enough to get the desired result.

Robert - Could you provide an example of what you are referencing when you say metal? ie. - a metal saucer, flat piece of round metal, etc. And how thick should the metal object be?

Welcome from another North Texan.

Charlie- thanks for posting the pictures. Those mods look pretty slick. Looks like that makes for an efficient cooking setup. Gotta love this site for all the feedback, advice and info that is shared here.

Charlie- thanks for the reply. I suppose I should have been a little more descriptive of my recent experiences. I did not use the water pan either time but instead used a foiled clay saucer. These 2 cooks were the only time I have done that. I just wanted to see what it was like. My plan...

I have done a couple of cooks on my SMC 18 within the last week or so and have a question about the temperature differential between the top and bottom racks. Cook before last I had the whole top rack covered with 3 racks of ribs and chicken thighs. The remaining 5 or 6 thighs that wouldn’t...

Chuck- If you look closely at the picture in my original post you can see that the flange around the top of the saucer is just not quite as wide as the rim on the water pan. At first glance in the photo it looks like the top of the saucer is the same diameter as the water pan but its just a bit...

Linda- Sorry I missed your reply earlier. Thanks for the feedback. Robert - So you have a metal saucer? What size is it and where did you get it? Does it fit on the water pan brackets by itself?

Len- Thanks for the reply. I did have the saucer wrapped but unwrapped it to take the photo so it would be more clear what I was referring to. It will be wrapped when I start the cook. Chuck- After reading your reply I tried the saucer by itself. Unfortunately it is not the saucer you have...

I am going to try the 'clay saucer in the water pan' for the first time. As I have read elsewhere in this forum I purchased a 14" clay saucer at Home Depot. The clay saucer I purchased has a flange that causes the saucer to sit on the rim of the water pan resulting in the top of the saucer to...
