    Contest cook. Need advice!

    My first practice run was a basic smoke of each meat. I’m thinking I’ll do what you’re talking about this wknd. I’m using a 2” porkchop. Cooks just like a pork loin. Thanks for the advice!

    Contest cook. Need advice!

But I grew up around old cinder block or metal direct hear pits and that's what I'd rather do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro with firebox- Mods

    What about tin foil to line the lid and bottom with for heat retention? Or put lava rocks in the bottom. Couldn't hurt.
