    How long do you "smoke" during a cook?

    For long smokes, I always use the Minion Method and have wood chunks mixed throughout the lump in the charcoal ring. This produces smoke all the time the meat is not in foil. Easy and produces just the right amount of very good quality smoke.

    Brinkman pan to small

    Bass Pro sells two different Brinkmann Charcoal Pans -- You needed the larger one. Doug's link is to the correct one. The other one, on the top right of that page and which costs $4.99, is the smaller one which appears to be the one you have.

    Doing my 1st brisket tomorrow night

    Most people put pork on top of brisket in order to help baste the brisket below. I had to put the pork under the brisket last time I cooked due to dietary restrictions of one guest and it worked out great. I did the pork fat side down just as you intend. For whatever reason, the butts got...

    3 Butts 10#, 7.5# 6.75#

    Remember that some smaller butts take longer to cook than a larger one. All you can do is assume the larger one will take the most time, but be wary and check the other two to see how they are coming along. I have never had a butt take more than 1 1/2 hours per pound, but that day will come...

    Timing Dilemma

    I would recommend Keri C's "Boilin' Bag" method. Boilin' Bag (Look for the 8th post in the thread) You could then transport them in a cooler of ice and reheat them easily as she suggests once you need them.

    Cooking my first pork butt

    Boneless butts are cooked all the time. The problem with all butts, bone in or bone out, is that there is quite a bit of variation in cooking times with each piece of meat. Sometimes a smaller butt takes longer than a larger one due to the variation of internal structure. Some believe that a...

    Build up on Lid

    Now, this seems like the best question so far to me. A closed down top vent could very well produce conditions for creosote production.

    Brisket

    Some people argue that meat stops taking smoke once its temperature reaches somewhere around 165 degrees. If that indeed is the case, then starting a brisket in the oven doesn't make for a smokey brisket.

    Brisket - What size is perfect for WSM?

    No "sop mop" - Suggestions

    Could always tie a clean rag to a wooden spoon handle or some such thing, then cut the rag into shreds like an old fashioned rag mop? But, I bet the brush would do just as well if you just douse it frequently into the sauce.
