I would encourage you to give it a try. It is my favorite way to cook one.

Good idea! I'm using ciabatta rolls for sandwiches with the leftover. I bet the sour dough would compliment it nicely.

Oh yeah. Sourdough, mayo, some ketchup if you like, maybe some American cheese. Damn drool...

For my setup, I decided to go with the snake. I made a semicircle of charcoal, added some hickory chunks to the beginning, and started it with 10 coals.


While the kettle got up to temperature, I threw together my meatloaf, oiled and seasoned some potatoes for baking. I used a rub that the local BBQ place sells.




Everything goes on the kettle and cooks for about 2 1/2 hours.




The kettle kept a temperature in the range of 240-260 (with a peak of 275). Not bad for my first time with this technique. I don't normally glaze my meatloaf that I smoke as I prefer the crust that forms. Not that it really matters, I like how the smoke ring turned out.



When I finished the smoke, I closed everything down and this is what I had left in the morning. I love how I can save charcoal like this on this new kettle.



Thanks for looking.

My first time never turns out like that. You get to be the teacher....
