Tom from Tokyo here who took delivery of my new BB 32 one month ago. Yesterday was my first low and slow with a pulled pork. Lot's of learning to do at this point but on the road and definitely looking forward to engaging with folks on this forum! Picture attached.
The results were spectacular (I opted for pulled pork for a more forgiving meat!) but I did have some tricky air flow issues. A full load of charcoal and lit a small amount of coals in the middle. Used BBQ guru and shut down all lower vents to let the fan do its work and 1/2 a turn on the top. Temp range was a bit inconsistent as it overshot but ultimately got the job done.
Now in the morning I moved the defectors and only half of the charcoal where the fan was burned at all. The new guy here would love any advice on setup and starting as I am assuming we want the entire box burning.
Looking forward to chatting
Tom
