I usually start the coals via the minion method than wait until the coals settle a bit and the target temp is obtained, then I put the meat on and place my smoke wood on the stable coals. I found this method a little more reliable for me to get the right balance of smoked flavor. Everyone can...
I agree this site has elevated everyone to a level of comfort and appreciation of BBQ. I continue to learn and am amazed at the genuine support that the TVWBB community has for newbies and experienced BBQ fans. Thank you Chris for starting this great site.
I would love to hear more about you using the Digi Q DX2. I plan on getting one as well and want to get as much information about the transition to using an ATC.
That sounded like fun. I have a couple of follow up questions. Was your apple / pineapple spray a 50/50 mixture? Did you use any finishing sauce or BBQ sauce after you pulled therapy?
Thanks
Paul
Welcome to the passion. Others said it so well that this smoker will be the only one if not the last one you will ever need. Just a thought my 2cents...after reading others suggestions I loaded up the Weber and ran it hot and empty just to get the factory residue off. Enjoy!
I've tried the #5 sauce on ork and let my guests add there own sauce to their taste. It was a nice contrast. Gotta love the food that can please so many people.
