    Oh god. White smoke

    Bark was minimal, one hunk (half fist) had a little bit (less than half of the back of the hunk) At about 2 hours its taming down, I think there is a moisture issue in my coals. I think ill let everything sit till about 1130, and see if it dies down.

    History Log?

    Aha. Well great info. I went to pelletheads forum and found some other articles. With regard to arduino and logging, some have homebrewed some interesting setups, almost to the point of ridiculous (single unit that reads and records up to 100 probes.....)

    Oh god. White smoke

    Been smoking with my 18.5 wsm. All is great. Today I do the same minion method, half a big bag of Blue king, three two fist sized hunks of Apple, and a chimney started with about 15 briquettes to white hot (lazy minion method. I've got temps at 225 for ribs, been holding steady 20 minutes. The...

    Latch help please!

    For drilling steel you want something with a carbide or High Speed Steel type of construction. When you go to your local hardware store, look for bits that are designed for metal.

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    @kam59 do you have plans or know of plans (oh boy, opening the big box of worms) for a UDS? Also, the 18.5 vs 22.5 WSM. Is it just a better idea to go for gusto on the size? That 100 dollar difference is a big bump on a low budget

    The kettle is a guaranteed investment on my part, I wanna real grill. The inlaws have their house that backup to our property that were buying. They have gas.....Ill stick with fire and flavor, not fire and heat.

    Same thing as a ski instructor. My clients buy the best equipment, show up and say "just show me around. I ski everything"...ok buddy, lets see if you can keep up. Ive gathered that a lot of the "Variables" to excellent bbq distill to "knowledge, process, patience, experience"

    You might even submit that possibly the electric smokers with those advantages you mention might even produce a more thorough smoke and a more rich flavor, seing as they can be held steady for the entire cook?

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    I would love to see what you did to it. Im currently thinking about the WSM as my main unit, but Id also like a secondary "project" smoker for those 1 or 2 times a year when I gotta cook for the entire family
