Smoking Meat?

[navychop]

Do you use lump charcoal or briquets?

Lump.

Got fire going around 7 am, put meat on around 7:30, never got to 200 even after reloading with lump and wood. Pulled at 3 pm, 3 lb roast 196, 5 lb at 192, shredded with bear claws and put half in air fryer 390 for 8 minutes, other half in instant pot with red chile sauce for the tamales.
Will finish Tamale cook in another thread.

Pulled at 3:45, after an hour with temps 203 - 207, let set till 4:45, unwrapped and shredded and added homemade BBQ sauce (had added some when I wrapped earlier)
Really thick and good bark (burnt end good)tender and tasty...

The cold spell broke temporarily here. So after work I lit the charcoal, cut up a chicken and tried out a new BBQ sauce that someone recommended. I usually make own sauce and rubs but thought I'd check this out. I'm glad I did, it is amazing.

Not “so.”

SWMBO!

Years ago I would shovel a path to my Weber all the time when I lived in Iowa. Not so much these days but the snow doesn’t usually linger long in Colorado Springs.
