Imitation...it allows you to look like you know what you're doing...

Did my first documented cook yesterday. I'm just getting started in the world of low and slow BBQ. I love that techniques, ideas, and information are readily available on this forum site. I'm already addicted and planning a pit build!

For the chicken, the pan on the left were prepped competition style. After taking me insanely too long, and wanting to get to bed, the second package did not recieve the same treatment. I think it's obvious which ones those were.

Feedback and criticism are welcomed...

Just a cheap offset...charbroil offset smoker. With the help of the forum and the internet, I did several recommended modifications before getting it dirty with Que. 1/4" steel baffle and tuning plates show to keep even heat across the pit. And angle aluminum screwed to all sides of the lid help to create a nice seal. It sure does run through charcoal though!
The second grill that I put the chicken on is a Masterbuilt 7 in 1 unit. Works well for the limited space at my apartment.

My only questions are: are you kidding me? just getting started? how big is your family?
That...is how you get started people!

Nice work, keep the pron coming!
