Breaking it in
Well, the new charcoal basket is really cool. I burned it earlier this afternoon and then set it up to do some spares. I put about 2 full chimneys of K mixed with 4 or 5 cherry chunks in the basket and dropped about 25 lit coals on top with a small hickory stick. Got it up to 235-240 and closed the intake about 1/4 of the way. All in all about 10 pounds of K plus the wood. It burned for about 5 hours at temp and went down to 200 for another 45 mins. That was about 3/4 full in the basket. I'm pretty happy with that. With a full basket I should get 7 to 9 hours depending on the weather.
Got the spares set up with some home made apple jelly (heated to thin it) and Obie-Que's Sweet Rub. Misted with some juice during the cook. About 3 3/4 hours I sauced half and pulled off and let rest in the cooler foiled. A couple of spots got a little dark - not to bad. Smoke ring could have been better, but they were good. Taters, ABT's, and fresh corn rounded out dinner. Here's some pron.
