I got a couple big meaty chicken leg quarters on the smoker. I decided to really use some heat for clean chunk burning. I didn't want the heat to be to high for the meat though.. I Started up hot chimney with some old half used bbk in it and half used hickory chunks too.. put fresh bbk in with it. I got it all lit and dumped. Added new hickory and let it blacken up before adding the ECB body on with a full charcoal pan of water above the flames..
