Title: Low & Slow smoking on a kettle
Post by: LostArrow on November 22, 2013, 08:28:11 AM
Set up for a long cook, 130-140 briquittes (7-8 ) lbs with pecan chunks.
I think it'll burn 8-10 hours with this load & I could have added 3-4 more lbs.
Maze set up, & butt on.
Using me I-grill to monitor
Ill keep informed .

Nice setup, nice cookup !!!!

I've tried different zig-zag setups sort of like that before, but not with any kind of diffuser......good move !!!!!

Looks like the butt came out very well. Did you pull it then?

Did you have the vents all wide open or stopped down? I would think with that much charcoal that you would have stopped them down a bit.

Bottom vent wide open so it won't clog with ash.
Top vent about 2/3 open.
