To clarify what I'm sure FMB meant, if you close down the vents, ONLY CLOSE THE BOTTOM. The top vent stays open at all times, regardless of temperature. If you really want to ruin a piece of meat, close up the top vent. That smoke will just sit on the meat and give you a creosote buildup from hell.

I have the Weber charcoal holders if I want to put the charcoal on each side and the brisket in the middle. But I tried that on ribs before with a rib rack and I think I get too much heat on each side. Definitely want to have some good burnt ends. |

Pretty sure I took a couple years of my life off, but those are the crappy years anyway. |

I'll smoke a brisket, pull it when it's done, cut off the point, smoke it for another hour, chop it, put it back over a higher heat for another hour, then call it. I figured that would dry the hell out of the flat.

Not the best burnt ends I've made, but it was still pretty damn good. |

This. Shit I've maintained about 190 - 200 on a kettle smoker for about 8 hours. It takes a shit load of babysitting but it's actually enjoyable if you like to **** with fire and need a little time away from the wife and kids.

*Never mind I see a kettle smoker is one of those little sawed off versions. Last edited by crispystl; 02-01-2013 at 08:56 PM.. Reason: not a kettle |
