Charcoal Basket Experiment

(1/3) > >>

jdbruck:
I will probably not get a chance to use it for a week or two, but yesterday, I just made a charcoal basket to use with my offset smoker.  I have had difficulty keeping the temp for long cooks and am hoping that this will help.  I don't really know what I am doing, but I figure after a few tries, I'll get it.  I will take advice from anyone.  I will post follow ups after each of the first few uses. 

I will probably make ribs next week and see if I can get six hours of continuous heat.  I am going to just use regular Kingsford briquettes with some apple or mesquite wood pellets for smoke.  (There was a great sale on Kingsford 2 weeks ago, 40 lbs for $10.)  Hopefully it will work.

Are you burning sticks or charcoal?

hikerman:
Hey Josh, nice basket and a beauty of a smoker!   Hope the basket helps!

I'm the newbie-est of newbies and am just using charcoal for now.  I would like to move up to sticks in the future.

LostArrow:
Instead of pellets put some wood chunks in the  charcoal mix.
Light about 25 briquittes
 & put on top of the unlit charcoal.
