In smoking years that is.
4 years ago today, I smoked my very first pork shoulder.
I can not believe how much I have learned and grown as a home cook and back yard bbqer since that cook.
This site is a central stone of that growth.
Cheers!
Looks like a water smoker, $25 back in the day, smoked a lot of good food with 1. been grilling and smoking over 30 years, hope we both have a lot more years left to keep learning.
Tim,
Mike just nailed it. The bottom was like a second water bowl with a grate for the charcoal and air flow with no control all around the side. Picked it up for $25 and it did me well until I got my WSM 14.
I had one by meco. It ran for maybe 6 hours before the temperatures collapsed. Had to put a cardboard box around it to keep the temperature up. Wasn't that different from the brinkman my dad used when I was a kid.
WSM was a night to day difference .....it just plain worked
I agree, learned a lot on this site. A lot that translates to barbecue in any smoker.
Yep, if it wasn't for this site, I would be a sane man and have a lot more money. Been a great journey though, learned a lot from good friends and great experiences.
