jez..tabs. you would make a texan proud.

i use one of those cheap bullets. tabs nailed it. temps leak and vary. adding more liquid is a pain.

i've been playing with my regular weber kettle. with indirect heat, a disposable alum catch pan, and a foil burrito filled with soaked wood chips, i get a decent product. i should just get off my butt and go to a nursery. i bet i can find a clay pot to fit my weber kettle as a lid perfectly. i bet two put together, would work just as great as that green egg thing. we would just need to cut/break a bigger vent on the bottom pot.

Tabs knows what is going on, have one similar. I prefer the fire box on the other side, but I'm not quite right either.

Klose is the best, hands down. On my wish list.

I know it aint proper to smoke meat on a gas grill, but I had a bit of luck with my Weber Spirit.

The lowest setting holds 250 all day long. Used two tennis ball sized aluminum foil balls filled with hickory chips placed over the front burner. Rubbed the meat in the AM and smoked that evening indirectly for 4 hours.

Turned out pretty tasty for an amateur.

The smoker will be fired up in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow.

3 hours in. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1277041629.jpg

4 1/2 hours, just before wrapping. They needed a bit more for my liking. The ribs were a last minute decision. They are CAB trimmed off of one my aged (30 days wet) roasts from a few days ago. I don't normally cook beef ribs, but they were available.

A few more hours on the pork, should be done at 1:30 CST.

18.88lb pork shoulder with the hock, on for about 21 hours.

Yes, it was good.
