Well I'm finally almost finished with my table.
Just have to cut the hole in the butcher block top today.
Anyway, I'm planning on doing the first smoke on my XL BGE on Sunday, BB or spares not sure which yet. I'll warn you I'm a novice with lump charcoal. I'm ashamed to say it but I've been a gasser most of my life. Even my first smoker. I wouldn't mind some tips on using the egg.
If I had specific questions these would be a few:
Fire building tips
How high to fill the fire box
minion method or not? (I'm planning a pork butt later this week so any tips on that as well would be great, I'm assuming I'll need more charcoal for that cook)
Setting the vents and dialing in a temp
anything else you can think of and want to add would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Peace
