Love me some chestnuts. The street vendors in NYC do them over charcoal. I just put them in the oven (400 degrees, 30 minutes). Now that I saw this, I'm thinking indirect over charcoal (with some wood) might be worth a shot. You definitely need to slice them, otherwise you'll get some...

I throw it in the gardens. I have the world's largest tomatoes. I hope it's not the radioactive waste (from the Jalapenos) causing that!

I like the 2AM start. All the wild animal noises at that time are really fun. Plus, it's not too early to drink beer, because it's really late! :) Figure on a minimum of 12 hours cook time. A remote thermometer lets you get a few hours of sleeping off the beer.

I'm not sure a charcoal that burns hotter will do any good, if you choke it off by closing the vents. If you want to burn hotter, just open the vents. Even with a full water pan, you'll be over 300 in no time.

Yeah, I usually start my WSM around 2AM, and I find myself stoking it up again around noon. That's only been for the last decade or so. Not sure when Kingsford went down hill. ;)

Welcome back! If you have some leftovers, I'd be glad to help you out with them! :)

Sounds like a good reason to buy another Weber!

I usually do them on the Performer. Cook to 160, and toss a single small chunk of Pecan on the fire. Only takes an hour or so, cooked indirect.

I can tell from the photos, that Chris is not eating enough! :)

Thanks for the input, Bob and Charlie. I don't foil, so I never gave it a thought. I just had someone tell me this week, that they could start a butt at 10 AM, and it would be done by Dinner time. I attributed that to using a stick burner, but foil sounds more likely. Personally, I enjoy my 13...

So, this made me wonder. I hear folks saying all the time that they cook a butt in like six or seven hours. How does that happen? At 300 degrees, this experiment still took nine hours.

Very cool spot to BBQ. The ribs look great!

Yeah, you'll probaby burn in BBQ hell, but I bet you will have fun getting there! :)

I agree 100% I don't see any issue adding unlit during the cook. When I light my Minion cook, it's never more than 20 or so coals.

I usually rub a butt the night before (around 9 or 10 PM) and I start smoking around 2 AM. So a couple hours here. No need to go any longer than that.

Funny that you can catch up on the news, and it is still BBQ related. :wsm:

Good luck! It's been raining like mad here all week. I think if a hurricane hits, we may not even notice! :)

Cook time is a good excuse to drink beer. Why would you want to shorten it? (Just kidding, but I couldn't resist). :)

I'll have some fries with dat!
