First smoke of 2016

[GingerQ]

Well It's that time again and I purchased my first vertical on a whim two days ago... I have some mods to do on it for sure but we will see how it goes... I plan on building a vertical in sept so this one will have to do until then!

That looks quite tasty. You do realize we're almost 5 months into 2016? How is possibly your first smoke of the year?:crazy:

I was checking out the same unit the other day, definitely following along I've been tempted to make the jump to a vertical offset.

Keep us posted on the final results...

Captains log 9:00 AM... started the fire around 6:30 and got it to 250 and put the 9 pound butt on at 7:30.. i'm using the offset box for my fire and it seems the sweet spot on this one temp wise is 240!

Cool cooker and welcome to 2016!

My only question is, when was your last cook for 2015?

 

[GingerQ]

Captains log day 1 hour 98627373772... The smokers sweet spot is 240 seems to cook well... Needs a few mods for sure but that was to be expected... I have had a fire going since 6 this morning and have gone through Almost two bags of lump charcoal... The butt is being stubborn and won't finish cooking but I have faith it will be done soon! The country ribs and chicken came out nicely... Will post photos once the butt pulls!
