Re: What's in your smoker?
My 'machine' lol is just a long BBQ grill, so I have more access to the coals and smoke as time goes along.
It's also a curse, because I never get the same results twice, but I am a tinkerer and I don't begrudge
a little maintenance. It hurts on overnight cooks, so i can't do that, maybe I could come up with a way,
but haven't yet. I build a fire, let it go to coals, cover with lump charcoal, and when that is almost ashed over,
I lay on either wood chunks or plain old tree branches. I get a lot of branch fall under my Pecan trees, so I do
one or the other based on availablility. If there is not too much draft in the cooker, the branches resist igniting
and give up the perfect amount of smoke. But like I said, some days it comes out perfect and some days I smell
that housefire smell and know I screwed up something, lol.
