    I did butts and baby back ribs on the 22.5" at 250 - 275 degrees F, brisket on the 18.5" at 350 degrees F, and thighs on the 22.5" OTG at 350 degrees F(you could use your mini instead).

    Thawing question

    Whole Chicken Questions

    HH Method, Getting the Temp Up

    That idea will definitely work. How do you plan on mounting it to the bottom vent so it doesn't get too hot and melt? You could simply mount it to a metal pipe six to eight inches long and about three inches in diameter. You could even fashion one out of heavy duty aluminum foil as it won't...

    How to fit whole packer on 18.5"

    So I smoked my first whole packer last night. It was 16.84 pounds. It was waaaaay longer than the flats I've smoked before. I'm competing next weekend in my first competition and I wanted to practice with a whole packer instead of a flat before the competition since that's what I want to...

    Dutch oven cookoff

    Will you be using campfire coals or charcoal briquettes? Is there a theme? How many things are you wanting/expected to cook? Are you planning on doing a savory or sweet dish? How "from scratch" or not do you want it?
