In mine, I just drilled about 40 holes in the bottom of the pot. If I used briquettes, the temp stays constant at about 325 with zero effort. If I use Lump, I have to play with the vents a bit or it will jump to 400+ (which i may try a batch of chicken in t that temp to see if it makes the skin...- roper33

The skin was a bit crisp on the outer edges... but the top was still a touch rubbery. I had my chicken cooker (mini wsm) running at about 300-325... next time i'll shoot for 375-400 and i think that should crisp the skin a bit better... its a constant learning process :)- roper33

So... first comp went very well, finished 4th overall (9 teams total), and got a call in pork! I also had to deal with torrential downpours, wind and mud, which just made things that much more fun and challenging! Here are a few pics, sorry i don't have more, but I was too busy to take pics of...- roper33

I just used 2 cookers. A Weber OneTouch Gold (for brisket and chicken) with the Smokenator attachment used during most of the brisket cook, switched to conventional indirect with wood chunks for the chicken and brought it to 350 from 225. I cooked the pork and ribs in a Brinkmann Gourmet...- roper33

I entered my first competition (June 1), and decided to make a mock trial this weekend to get my times down, and get some feedback on the food. As luck would have it, the weather was awful (45mph winds and rain falling sideways) when we began our cook. My team consists of myself, and a friend...- roper33
