    Anyone here with an Old Smokey?

    I just started using an Old Smokey to get started. Today is my first butt and everything is going as planned. The Old Smokey is working well and keeping a constant temperature. I have read they don't produce a nice bark because it's a sealed unit to keep moisture in.
