Thread: Gonna try to smoke something....on the grill

Get a meat thermometer so you'll know when whatever meat you're cooking is done. While lookin you ain't cookin. While waiting put on a kielbasa link(it'll taste good) Mine looks similiar to yours but i've quit using the small side 'smoker' and can keep the temp up easier(just put chips on the charcoal)--good cooking--shu

Thanks for the info!!

I don't think mine has a water pan. can I make my own and, if so, where do you put it while you're smoking??
Thanks in advance

They all have one.It's the pan that you put your wood chips in.

After smoking on the smoker wrapping it in aluminum foil is the secret that I learned from a friend a couple of years ago and I will never cook any other way. After taking the foil off, putting the sauce on 20 to 30 minutes before taking ribs off is another secret that I learned from my father years ago. Sounds like you and I cook pork about the same way and cooking this way causes the meat to literally fall off the bone. All this is making me hungry, I may just have to put a pork butt on today.

Stupid question: do you have to add pre-lit charcoal or can you just throw a coal or two in occasionally and it will catch up? You can tell I've always been a gas grill kinda guy. I want to try a butt too. Thanks!!

Just throw some more charcoal on the already glowing coals, they'll catch on with no problem.

If your doesn't have a water pan --use a tin (like a pie plate and fill it up. If not above the fire then under whatever your smoking. Helps to keep th meat moist.
