I have a 6 lb brisket on a charbroil barrel smoker. E[color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]very 5 minutes the needle does a plunge. Do I need to feed the fire box all day and if so, should I add more charcoal or more hickory or a mix of both? [/color]
[color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Vents are open wide, no water or wet chips or anything...it gets up to about 250 and then heads south after a few minutes...I dont have a chimney... I am using KF Matchlight charcoal and Target bought hickory chips...[/color]
[color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks[/color]
