Let's see,

I am Anthony (you can call me BoneyTee). I am from Texas I just moved to the Troy MI area. As far as smoking goes I am a definate NEWBIE. I use a Brinkman Gourmet Charcoal smoker. I have smoked Baby back and pork ribs as well as chicken. (Well I should say I have tried to) I am having trouble maintaining the heat. I just picked up the smoker one day and just tried it. My dad is a Tean (has a large PIT in the backyard) he tries to explain it to me but I feel it is harder to learn with the Brinkman. Like today I am trying to smoke to racks of ribs...We'll see how it goes. Let's see I am married with 13 yr old twin boys and I LOVE to cook. I am just trying my hand at the smoking thing now
 
Welcome to SMF from just up I-75...Lake orion. You will need to get an expanded metal charcoal basket for that puppy... altho just using lump charcoal will help. Briquettes suck. If that's all ya ]have..keep all the bottom vents open..Hmmm is that the ECB folks? Not sure if you HAVE bottom vents... but airflow to the coals is essential...

Enjoy, and we'll help all we can!
 
Welcome to SMF. With 13 year old twin boys, it's a good thing you know how to cook!

welcome to SMF-and no disrespect to others but WHY MI?Texas ain't bad.
 
Welcome :)

head over to the charcoal smoker section for mods on that thing..
i think your first steps gonna be drilling holes in that charcoal pan for better airflow
 
Got it. Yeah that pit thing is cool and member Cowgirl is an expert on that stuff.

Tean, I just figured I was too old and didn't get it. :)
