Here are the facts (for me). BBQ done with an SRG
1) I cooked some very decent BBQ in four hours and fifteen minutes (4: 1/4 hrs.)!
2) The smokiness which is important to me was not there.
3) Tried to get smoke with the side basket on the SRG
a) the chips die off when the temp is turned to low
b) in addition, used the Amazing Tube Smoker two ways
1) parallel across the top of the basket
2) vertically next to the meat in the basket
4) Tommy has promised to allow me to be a BETA tester on his initial model of the Tommy Ring Smoker he and Todd are putting together at Amazing Smoker.
I highly recommend this method to anyone that:
1)Does not require a prominent smokiness.
2) Is in a tight for a quick cook (4 1/4 hrs.).
