Try lighting only 8-12 coals. I wouldn't worry about having too much unlit charcoal. I'd also make sure the door wasn't bent and leaking too much

Can't see why it wouldn't work fine

I like water, but people have their preferences. Pork butts are pretty forgiving.

I just started using mine and like it. Trying to find the best wood to use. Getting smoked out recently. Only way I can get the temp up high enough to brown the top

Love costco's pork and seafood. No whole packer briskets here in so cal and the regular ones are bleh. I have gotten whole foods pork butt and it is excellent. Their steaks are great too. My local Costco just started selling prime rib eye steaks and haven't tried them. They look great though.

I've done 6 and it really didn't take all that longer

All the ones I've gotten from Costco have had it removed. Weird

I usually use 4 or 5 chunks for a long smoke. Depends how smokey you want it. Plenty of famous BBQ restaurants only have a slight smokey flavor.

You can fit a lot on the 18.5. I wish I had a 22, but I can't say having the 18 has been much of a pain. Now if you are doing large briskets a lot, get a 22

Completely agree. If I don't foil I try to keep it at 225 otherwise the ribs can get dry and the bark can be closer to burnt

Water!!!!!!! I don't see the big deal for the cleanup. Crud drips into a waterless pan too

I just bent my door back into place. No problems after that

maverick 732 is worth every penny

Nothing wrong with water in the water pan btw

I'm thinking I understand the issue. the grommet you speak of was only added in 2014. before that there was no such option. I thought you were talking about the holes. my bad.

I have a 18.5, but I doubt it makes a difference. seems unwieldy and unnecessary to me, but each to their own.

I just put the probe cord under the lid. never had a problem.

Yes if anything it's worth it so you can monitor the temp from your couch Personally i like to put the thermometer at the cooking grate since that is where the meat I'm cooking is

this is the one I have and it fits the 18 perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000OHBXJ6/tvwb-20 personally I find it to be a lot easier than rolling the ribs or any other option to maximize the ribs you are cooking.

Thanks guys. I'll follow your advice and report back No coals under the stone as the kettle pizza people suggest?
