Nevada Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hello! Im Jon, Currently residing in West Berkshire My BBQ/Smoking started after a visit to Babes BBQ & Brewery in Rancho Mirage, CA I had never really cared for REAL bbq before but after talking to the guys there, i have been hooked and haven't looked back. Im cooking on the obligatory Webber Kettle 10% of the time. The other 90% is my badly built offset smoker birthday present from Argos. Currently proving my theory right that if i can ace cooking on this dodgy offset then i can cook on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi Jon and welcome to the group. All my cooks are done on a Weber Kettle. You have more patience than me if you keep working with that offset smoker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks Simon Its not too bad to be fair, the metals thin so it don't keep heat all that well. Foil and a brick have helped. The design is so stupid it boils my blood, holes everywhere and nothing lines up that well, so i have a brick and a massive rock holding doors shut. Could do with some high temp silicon seal but i don't think i will keep it long enough to bother. Did my first ever brisket this weekend and using my limited maths skills it got to pull temp exactly when i calculated so I'm not complaining. Think i may start leaning towards the ProQ with fans and bluetooth thermos next... just kind of enjoying the cave man style i have going at the moment.

Simon Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Never forget that the Weber can do these cooks, I’ve gotten a 9 hour cook out of my kettle and it could have done more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
