It burned longer than any other lump charcoal I have tried and I’ve tried quite a few different brands.

They didn’t have total oak at the store like I usually grab here. Used this, liked it equally. Can’t really speak to maintaining temps in a paper thin smoker in the rain. Worked well IMO

Not really a cooking tip, but still a tip. I've recently used a metal can that I leave under the firebox. When it's time to clean out the ash, I just use my hands and sweep it into the bucket. Really easy. And if the main chamber is full, I sweep it into the firebox first, then into the bucket.
And I have a plastic trash can with a lid outside to store, charcoal, wood chips, and anything else I need.

I haven’t. Looks like a neat idea for a campfire where wood collecting is prohibited or non existent. I may order a box for the back yard fire pit just to try out.

I do the same thing with the ashes. I also leave a little water in the bottom when I’m smoking just incase any coals some how fall out. I need to get a trash can like yours to store everything in.

Haven’t tried that yet, but from the lump coal I don’t get any popping or sparks like I get with other lump charcoal. I bet it’s good stuff. I would try it.

It at have worked but that stuff is bottom of the barrel. Look up some reviews. People have found nails, wires and other shit in the bag.

Yup. Cowboy isn’t the best. Non charcoaled wood scraps can be found in it. It’s sparks like hell and burns crazy hot and fast.

Hmm sounds like just the kind of stuff you want in your smoker, wire and nails. It burned pretty equal to the royal oak lump I normally get. What’s a better big box store brand to try out when this is gone

B&B is okay and cheap. Otherwise royal oak is probably the best bottom dollar one.

Yep. Or if your feeling splurgey Komodo Joe and Big Green Egg put out a great product and can be found at most Ace Hardwares. I usually order through amazon cause I’m lazy.

Salt and pepper only. Smoke at 275. Wrap when it stalls, cook until probe tender not by temp.
How big is it? (Not what she said)

I was planning on salt and pepper, by probe tender do you mean the probe goes in without any real resistance? 11.5 pounds, looking like it needs a little trimming but not much

Yes. It should feel like going into a stick of room temp butter. Probe, fork, knife whatever you want but should feel like cutting room temp butter.
And I wouldn’t try and go without wrapping on your first one. You’ll probably never make another. Lol
