I use that but still my sides don't get very much unless I stand it on edge they the top stuff falls off. seems like the more I move it around alot falls off.
 
Just so we are on the same page. coat it with mustard (wear disposable gloves). Sprinkle on rub, pat it in mustard. Do all over and you should be ok.
 
Big Mista suggested using a bus tub from a restraunt supply. I rinse meat in cool water, smear on mustard. Another tip is to streatch a disposable rubber glove over mustard and seasoning containers to help keep clean. put meat in tub while slathering and seasoning. Helps contain mess. And yes I roll it around while seasoning. If first cook, will repeat advise. If you have a typical gauge on side shoot for 200 deg. which will give you @230 center grate. Limit lid off time. 8 pound butts should be checked 7 or so hours. Takes typical 8 on mine.

Mustard slather, helps the rub stick.

Well meat on at 5:45. Not going as goood as test burn going from 220 to 250. Ended on putting foil over 1/2 of one pipe hole and adjusting the ball valve. With the valve shut and one hole open to high of temps and with all holes capped and valve all the way open to low of temps. Just went out to spritz not smelling very much hickory smell so don't know how much smoke flavor it will have. Also anyone thought of a rod out the side hooked to your fire box so you can give it a wiggle ever now and then? And one last thing the pipe nipples are getting welded in also valve one moves on me I thought it was tight but will be from now on. Hows that for a ramble?

During the Cook I just take one of the plugs off of the unused air intakes and stick a long screwdriver (18") in and wiggle the firebasket up and down then replace the plug.
 
When my temp drops from a steady hold I just kick the drum a few times before adjusting temp. Thirdeye makes "Wiggle rods" out of stainless rod for just that.

Yup I started with a screwdriver too but now use a stainless rod.
 
I have a weber kettle lit on mine so I just grab the handle on top, press firmly down on the lid and give it a couple good shakes.

It's the only picture I have of my rod, it's laying across the top of the drum.
