twharton Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Full box oF CoCo char in the basket...lit at 5 PM This is how I do a diverter...foil drip pan on top of that...just before meat goes on toss on the smoking wood, this grate, then meat. Money Shot #1, Bromeliad Money Shot #2, Bromeliad Product Plug - BRV-HD bluetooth wireless speaker. If Dennis Jack Linkletter made speakers this would be it! 40 Minutes after lighting...temp coming up. 1.5 Hours after Lighting temp right on target. 2 Hours after lighting 18 lbs of pork shoulder..... I put them on straight from the refrigerator..5 PM Went to a party then went to bed..at around 11:30 pm temp was at 226. 8:03 AM...getting close...13 hours 15 Hours 16 Hours - DONE! Annnd....I learned something. Used a smoke pouch for the first time ever. Always just tossed chips or chunks on the coals prior to food. Also this is the first time I've ever used CoCo Char. This is what happened when I opened the pouch AFTER IT HAD BEEN ON THE COALS PRODUCING SMOKE STEADILY FOR 15 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!

bosco Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I too stopped using the deflector stones, as it is not needed with a KK. As for the pouch, time for a 2 qt touch oven to use as a smoking pot.... thank me later great looking first cook buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 @twharton - great pictorial. It looks as if everyone had a great weekend. Your butt looks like it should have been a smash hit with every hungry stomach. That bark is simply killer! It's time for you to get a @Syzygies smoke pot. It will really change the way you look at laying smoke on a cook. Kudos to ya! How do you like that dual probe ThermaQ? I've got my eye on that when my iGrill2 craps out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twharton Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 @CeramicChef High Praise...thank you sir! The ThermaQ is unparallelled....industrial strength just like our KK's. I had been using a 23" OTB for the last 10 years and just crammed the two probes (and it wasn't easy) into the one port. Well now there is one for each probe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nicely done. Gorgeous bark. A big 3rd thumbs up vote for the Syz's dutch oven smoking pot. Works like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
