    Too much smoke with 22" Weber

    Ok I'll give that a shot on the next smoke.   I use 1-2 small chunks.  Try to eyeball 4-6 ounces.

    Too much smoke with 22" Weber

    I start the coals in a chimney with a komado joe starter.  I don't really arrange them perse'.  Just pour them in on one side of the grill.

    Has anyone tried using a restaurant pan for a fire basket?

    This seems like a cheap alternative to a purpose built piece to me.  They come in many sizes so I guess the main concern would be whether the 22ga steel will tolerate the fire for very long. These are a bit cheaper at my local supply store btw.

    Apple pork sausage

    I make an apple sausage that I use in meatloaf.  It's very similar to what you have barring a few exceptions.  Here's what I'd do: Skip the brown sugar and the coriander.   Use a little more cinnamon.   Swap out your Golden Delicious for Fuji's since we need sweetness now. Add a Tbsp or two...
