Unfortunately Wade, though I would heed your advice with this and would have eaten the chicken. I have a wife who has had training within the catering industry and will not tolerate any pinkiness unless it's in the middle of her steak The extra hour just was enough and I threw a bit of water in the foil, so when I came to it again, we had a good head of steam and the pink was gone. Happy wife, happy life.

I had my second cook on Sunday with mine. I have sealed off nearly all the edges with rope. Need to put some more on the back edge of the smoker and it should be a seal (ran out for one of the edges). I sort of did the minion method by mistake (in a good way) after watching about the snake method on a kettle BBQ. Shoulder of Pork took just over 7 hrs (didn't wrap) and the chicken I let go for 4 and wrapped (tin foil) and put it back in for an hour as it was pink a little. Salt and pepper for the chicken and yellow mustard and a packet ready made herb/spice mix (world foods at Morrisons, by chance was looking and it had a good mix of herbage) and added smoked paprika. Used some apple wood on some Briquettes (1 1/2 bags i think).

Cheers Hoogl

Cheers Robdan, fingers crossed that this warm weather holds out.

Hi Both, Also new, welcome. I'm hoping to be having a cook tomorrow. After I have put my smoker together. It was delivered a week early, so will keep me out of mischief over the weekend

Thank you Ice. T

Thanks for the advice Justin. As long as it wasn't the one that was done on a Friday afternoon at 3:30. It should be ok lol T

Yes, this is the article that I read just before I hit the buy button haha I got it for a good price, so I'm not worried if I need to spend a little extra on the mods.

Hi Guys, Thank you for the welcome. I live in a small village called Skirpenbeck. I went to school in Pockington and visit it often. Actually it's the Landmann Kentucky Smoker, I've ordered the stove rope and will wait to see if I need to order any sealer for the welds. Cheers T

Good Morning, Stumbled across the site while researching a smoker, which I have now bought and am awaiting delivery. As most. I've BBQ'd burger and such, but I have also smoked some joints. looking forward to getting started with the new rig and doing some cooking. All the best Trevor
