First Smoke on the Offset in 3 Years
LostArrow:
Three years ago my Double-Chef arrived & my first butt cooked was THE BEST I'd ever cooked!
I haven't fired up my New Braunfels as an indirect since.
The New Braunfels is a great charcoal grill so I've used , just not as a indirect smoker.
One of the members saw it in the background of a post & said if you don't love it send to me!
Cleaned out a few dirt Doppler nests & I'm firing it up
6 lb butt rubbed with TMB 's Rub ( another story)
Sitting on the deck listening to Pandora ( Fleetwood Mac) with the dogs & COOKING
Lonely butt on the smoker
LostArrow:
I've got an old New Braunfels
The interesting thing is the firebox is under the left side of cooking chamber.
Using the charcoal pan as a diffuser the heat is directed to the far end of smoker.
Usually cooks pretty good but today!
Home alone , wife working, temp 70F not a cloud in site, light wind.
On deck, drinking a Guiness, listening to Fleetwood Mac, looked at my thermometers & it's never been this good?
Fire box side 225F far side 212F
Must be a perfect storm, temp, wind cooking in sun , who knows but who's complaining
LostArrow:
Wife got off at 1pm, so I met for lunch, after that when got home it's at 5 hr mark & temp down to 210 F . Added 1 chunk wood & more charcoal.
8 hours in smoke , ready to finish in a pan, till temp 195F

Nothin' like pulling out an old grill to give it a little afternoon love!
