    Thoughts on this weekend's smoke... two 6# shoulders on the mini

    I would probably do as Adam suggested and start them one at a time. The other option is foiling the one at 160 and using your oven to finish it. You'll lose the bark but the taste will every bit as good. As far as the water pan goes, if it's just foiled without water, there shouldn't be a...

    Amen! This gospel seems more apocryphal to me then true ;)

    temp control on the mini

    I do the same thing, but without the water, and get the same results. If I do leave the bottom vent on my sjs wide open I've reached temps as high as 450. I followed Chris A's build here almost to the letter, the exception being a 12" pie pan instead of a clay pot saucer, and a "clog free" air...

    Briquette Maker?

    There you go, I was only think of the work aspect. But I suppose there could be another dimension too; good smoke on tasty food can also increase calorie intake :rolleyes:

    Low and slow is not hard to do. I've done Jamie Purviance's three racks stacked method several times with good success on the performer.

    Useful Burn time

    Robb, I've tried lump too, and with the same results you've had. The ash build up is a pain, but I made a custom vent can that seems to have eliminated any clogging issues.... so I'm sticking with the briquets for now.

    Rib Rack Recommendations Needed

    I do the same thing but with BB's. They're smaller so getting three to four halves on the top rack isn't too much a problem.

    OTG Lubrication Question

    In the five years I've had mine I've never needed to lube it and it works just as good today as it did when new... so I would say no, it's not necessary.

    Useful Burn time

    I cut the bottom out using 12" pie pan as the template. The only issue I have noticed is if my ribs extend beyond the 12" pie/drip pan, those ends that extended are a little more cooked that I like. So I added an inch of foil along the edge of the bottom grate and this seems to have solved the...

    Useful Burn time

    I use a basket Using the basket I use 40 unlit KC briquets, a little less than half a chimney, and add 10 lit KC briquets. I place the lit briquets on top of the unlit and in the center of the basket along with a small chunk of smoke wood. With added vent controlling, this gives me at least...

    I don't think this would work well for the grill, but the reviews here seem to be positive for fire place/pit use.

    Recycled gasser frames

    Here's the details of how I attached the kettles. I have some expanded metal left over from my mini smoker project that I'll use as a shelf between the two kettles.
