Did you tell them they didn't have to thank you for the great smell of BBQ smoke? Try just putting one chunk at a time on next time. If you think that is too offensive try the chips in foil method.

If I had to pick one wood to use, it would be pecan. It could be a "first love" type thing though. Where I lived, when I first started smoking, had 2 pecan trees in the yard. Limbs would get blown off the trees from time to time and that was my smoke wood. More recently I have had a hard...

Is a 14 lb. packer going to be enough for 25 people? It wouldn't be enough for the bunch that shows up over here on holiday weekends, but then they are known to be eating specialists.

Steven, I don't have a clue as to what happened to your cook yesterday. The temp should not have fallen back from the 250 unless you changed something. This is not typical and may never happen again. If you follow Glenn's instructions for low n'slow cooks it should work great. I do the same...

I might add one thing, throw a piece of sausage on so you will have something to snack on while waiting on the butts to finish cooking.

I believe they have you taken care of Matt. Let us know how it turns out and post some pics.

Many years ago, I smoked a few briskets on a Brinkman and thought they were great. It was before I knew about lump and ash from K choked the fire in the later stages of the cook. I didn't use a thermometer at all but the temp seemed low to me. If I was forced to use a Brinkman, I'd go with...

I Q pretty much year round. Living in Arkansas we have pretty days even in the winter. I cook more during the summer though. We have a pool and a passel of kids that have kids. They show up quite often on summer weekends and most come in the door asking "yall got anything to eat?" or "I see...

Allen, Most of the time my grate temp is different than the lid temp. But I have noticed it is not always consistent. Even during the same cook it moved back and forth from almost identical to 25 degrees different when I hadn't changed anything. I don't worry about it. I just get the grate...

I hope it works out well for you, let us know what you think about smoking halves.

That's big enough. I'd cut them in half and cook between 250 and 275.

Glenn Congratulations on "the big cook".....it looked awesome, as does all of you cooks.

Ken mentioned cutting the butts in half. If the butt is very big I always cut it in half because they have enough fat throughout each half to cook alright. I do it because I get more smoke flavor and more bark. They do cook faster and in my opinion are better for the above reasons. If you...

It all looks awesome.......

Mark, I have the same experience as you. If the butt is very big I usually cut it in half, makes for more bark and exposes more of the surface area to the smoke. It cooks faster and I like it better. I don't mix the wood with the charcoal, I just throw a chunk on every now and then. Dave...

I've never tried Q like that, usually just meat, bread, sauce and sometimes slaw. I may have to give it a try. The thing I can't figure out is whether you are better at Qing or making it look good on a plate. I think you do great with both and your pics are awesome.

I hope no one has a stroke, but I drilled a 3/16 hole in the middle section just below the top grate.
