First cook on BWS Extended Party, need advice
1 Attachment(s)
Sunday I unveiled my brand new BWS Extended party and although the ribs looked nice, they had a bit too much smoke. For those of you who have one how much wood do you use and what size( how do you guys arrange it in the firebox) ?

6 chunks. I light the front right corner and the guru is on the rear left. Seems to be working fine |
That's about what I do. I don't have an extended Party so I'm using 4 chunks. It seems like it would work out about the same.

4 chucks in my extended party
|
Why do you light the corner away from the Guru???
I use 6 chunks and move the smoke stack cover over half way. |
about the same as what I do but since th ewood chunks i use are larger than that I use probably 3-4
one difference is I dont use Kingsford briquettes. Strictly lump charcoal (Royal Oak normally) |

Because of how the door opens, it made more send to have my guru on the left side.

That pic was great, thanks. But how are you lighting the bed of charcoal? Are you using a starter and dumping them on top of the bed? Also has anyone tried lighting the back and letting the fire burn forward?
|
I'm using 2 weber cubes in the ash pan under the front corner prob 3" in from the corner. I think 1 cube works just as well
|
Do the cubes impart any flavor on the meat negatively like lighter fluid?
|
Nope, but the cube should be burned out long before you put the meat it. I let the starter cube burn with the fire box door open and then close it and let the Party come up to temp before putting the meat in.

Nada, flavor imparted. I light the back left corner by the Stoker. I use cubes, chimney or a weed burner. 4-6 chunks depending on chunk size, cook times, meats, etc. Bigger meats get six. |
I really appreciate this guys. Where do guys pick up these cubes?

Know of several cooks that use 3-4 chunks which are only 1-1/2" square in a Backwoods Fatboys for duration of cook
