Hi All,
Greetings from the tundra!
After having and using a Skyline 1200 for 20+ years (used 2x a week and still like new), I needed a challenge. My new 26" Kettle is only 9 days old and has made thick cut pork chops, racks of ribs, brats and a 12 hour smoked pork shoulder (yesterday). Before now, I had only cooked with coals when camping/hunting and love the challenge.
Cooking with coals is a lot like being the engineer of a steam locomotive. There is a certain amount of planning required, as well as keeping up with the vent settings to keep the internal temps stable and predictable. I grill/smoke outside no matter what the weather and this Kettle is amazing at holding what you set. Looking forward to some mods and getting my techniques all dialed in.
Cheers,
