I'm the same way. I never remember to take notes, and just mess with the recipe till it tastes good!

Cajunbandit.com has some good eyelets, but Like the idea of using the pre-existing holes!

Loved the starter cubes! My wife and I thank everyone!:-D

Thanks for the tips everyone! I picked up some starter cubes and will give them a shot tonight.

I've seen those, do they burn out by the time you're ready to dump the charcoal? Any funky smell or taste like lighter fluid? If not this sounds like the route to go!

Another fellow Montanan! I'm from Missoula (no I'm not a hippie). Happy smoking to you!
