Thank you Ice that's appreciated!
Slowly getting to grips with the smoker.....Hardest thing so far is reliable fuel, trying a few brands. Think half the battle is having even sized lumps. I like lump wood and find briquettes good for quicker high heat cooking and lump for slower cooks.
Practicing with the water reservoir to maintain a good temp for longer times, but struggling to get a long burn with a decent load of fuel, perhaps that's using the water, as I'm reading about. Am adding wood chunks and a good amount of water for the first couple of hours during a longer cook, then towards the end I'm emptying the water and ramping up the heat when I add a glaze or sauce mop and a last single wood chunk just to freshen up the smoky flavour ....
Most of all it's great fun playing with it and eating the results !!
Thanks
Kevin
