ok, don't laugh but lump is not the same animal as charcoal for fuel. i know what charcoal will do and how much wood to add for flavor. w/ the
Green Machine i have no clue. so, a little learning involved i believe in the beginning. here she is ladies and gentlemen my
Green Machine.
1st fire. actually only the 2nd cook on the
green machine.
i lite the lump in 4 little spots like i was told. in 3 minutes i had a good little fire so i put the plate setter w/ the grill and closed her up. after 10 minutes the
GM was at......
since i haven't figured out how to control the temp yet i thought i would start w/ some abt's.
oh they came out good.
still had heat so let's cook some more.
brought the grate to the table to set up.
big smile.
must be FT time.
a bunch of unhappy smokers and kettles.
oh, we are looking good now.
brought it in the house.
wife said, "is the skin crunchy?" no dear it's not but it is cooked perfectly. "i want crunchy skin plz". fine......
took the plate setter off and then put grill back on. let's get some crunchy chicken.
opened the bottom vent some more.
top one too.
were getting there.
love the smell of meat smoke.
i must say it was very good. the wife loved it.
egghead here for good.......
