Thanks for all of the kind comments. This was an experiment, having never smoked or grilled a pork loin before.
Now I think we can improve on these results, with a little tweaking next time...bacon wrap!
The Cooker is a good design. I liked the internal ash catcher much more than the external one.
Mine is the econo model. They had two kettles, mine was around $30, in 1979. The upgrade model was more, maybe $35 or $38.
You are very sharp! With an eye for detail. The handle says "KENMORE". Bought it in 1979. It is my daily driver.
The beans are actually my favorite part of grilling.
I have been experimenting with my charcoal baskets, and using the snake method. If you construct the snake well, you can get up to 14 hour smoke times. When doing this I always use B&B Charcoal. It burns slow, lasts a long time.

Placed on the Weber Kettle for about 2 1/2 hours, average temp was 270 F. Pulled at internal temp of 142. Let rest wrapped in foil for an...

Once the kettle comes up to the desired temp of 250, it’s a simple matter of closing down two of the three bottom vents, and leaving the...
I am a "sauce guy", meaning BBQ sauce is always used. But not this time. The brisket stands on it's own, no sauce required (or wanted)!
But here is my favorite part...the BBQ Beans! We always place a pan of beans under any meat that is smoking. Leave it there for 5 to 6 hours. Try it sometime...
