Breaking in the new pit: Old Country Wrangler

[Tylerjo12]

I'm breaking in the new smoker today. Threw on a chuck roast this morning to make some"poor man's burnt ends". Also cooking some pork tenderloin and wings later.

I started a feeder fire to help avoid dirty smoke and temp drop offs. It's worked great so far. Using oak and hickory splits. Any tips are appreciated!

Congrats on the new cooker. I've never thought of running 2 fires. Seems like a lot more fuel would be used.
