Cooked them at around 225 for about 2 hours. I wanted a higher temp of around 300+ but the big pottery dish does a GREAT job at keeping the temp at around 225. I still can't get over it cooked 36 wings, I think I could cook 3 chickens on it. With three racks you definitely have more room than...

Well this thing just continues to impress today I did 36 chicken wings on it. I can only do 18 or so cooked indirectly on the kettle... I used 3 racks, 12 wings on each rack. The middle rack actually cooked the fastest. Pics... Bottom rack Middle Rack Top Rack Wings done...

Couple of thoughts... 1. I wouldn't worry about the temp being 300 degrees the butts are going to be fine. 2. As far as the lid try turning it on the top. Sometimes the lid will leak less smoke if its turned a certain way. where are the pics?

I have this in the oven finishing off, I have little new to add. My observations: 1. Its a LOT of bread pudding. it makes about 12-15 portions not 9. Well if you make it 9 portions good luck to you. 2. The cooking method is either wrong or incomplete. 1 hour in the water bath leaves you...

What's the price per pound?

I forgot to mention the other reason I like using the thermo on the lid, is that when I turn it back into a grill I can see the temps when I grill. I agree its personal preference... If you like knowing your grate temps put it at the grate level, I think most are doing it that way.

I had originally cut the d slots in mine and it works fine, but I eventually cut the entire bottom out of mine for the following reasons. 1. It limited how much charcoal I could stack in the base. 2. The center piece became dirty from smoke, and dirtied up my table when I brought the pan in...

I drill a hole in my lid beside the vent, and mount the thermo that way. I use the charbroil thermos they sell at Lowes. I like it mounted this way because its always there and I don't have to search for it, and because I can still adjust my top vent, if I want to smoke. J

Yep that's how I do it...

What was the temperature outside when you got the 8 hour burn? And what was your start method?

I would say its pretty accurate depending on your thermometer. I am not interersted in REAL temperatures at the meat. I just need something to tell me what's going on inside the smoker/cooker. So I prefer the mount on the lid, you get TWO benefits of doing it that way. One: You know the...

I was going to add, check the price per pound Flats are like $3.50/lb and packers < $2.00/lb. I would prefer a flacker...

Keep us posted on how those Saints stickers hold up, I want a big Raven sticker for mine...

Looks good Jeff. Any pictures of the inside? How many grates? What did you use for the diffuser/drip pan? j

Most of the time its just charcoal piled to one side, but I need to do a long cook then its the fuse method. This will last about 6 hours or so...

Did this a second time and it came out MUCH better. Here is my batter recipe. Equal parts flour and cornstarch (I cup) Baking POWDER (1 TBSP) Season the way you like 1 TBSP of Salt, Peper, Paprika Add enough water so that its the consistancy of a nice bisque (when the chicken is dipped in it...

Reason why I wanted 300-325 was for crispier chicken skin. Reason I built this smoker is so that I could do two buts or 6 rack of ribs, while keeping my weber grill free to cook other things. The other reason I built it was so that I could have a cool project to do. I spray canned the paint...

I am with you Kruger. I have two covers but don't use them.

I should have taken some pictures but I am blown away by how resilient these grills are. I picked up a OTG for $10. I scraped off the rust where I could, painted the ash bucket and the bottom wire rack with black high heat paint. And bought a new OTS grate (I don't like the flip up grate, I...
