New guy from Milwaukee. I've seldom smoked regularly, and if I did it was always in a Weber kettle. This weekend I smoked a rack of baby backs in a small Weber Jumbo Joe. First try at using something that small, it turned out OK, but could have used more foil time than I gave it.
The temps in that thing were kind of hard to control, mostly because it was super windy out. But I had people coming over so I was committed to making it work.
I'm going to be picking up a Masterbuilt Pro propane unit, probably this week. My thought was to build a stand for it out of pressure treated deck wood. Does anybody see a problem with that? I see people putting the propane units, or even charcoal grills and smokers on their decks pretty frequently. By building myself I can make it fit the exact space I want it to, and I was going to bolt it to the top for stability and security. Would hate to have it go missing. I guess if heat under is an issue I could put fire bricks under it.
Anyway, that's my long winded intro, I'm off to explore around these pages.
