Done with the stick burners

Honestly, thats what I love about the M1, M36, and M48.

If I'm in the mood for stick burning, I can smoke a whole brisket or anything for that matter with nothing but wood. If I don't feel like baby sitting as much, I will load it up with lump with a few small chunks of wood and go that method. I can throw wood in the firebox and lump up top and do some awesome reverse searing.

Most definitely. There's the easy cooks, the fun cooks, and the funnerest cooks. At least one of these types uses charcoal.....:thumb:
 
el luchador. Yes for the ease of cooking, cleaning and firing up. I def use it much more because of the convenience

This is one of the reasons I would like to eventually get this grill so I can try smoking with wood on a smaller scale but also smoke with lump if I want to and to also use this as a regular charcoal grill. Seems like the best of both worlds.

lol I need to clarify. That was the best tasting block pit pig they had tasted. Given the choice, friends prefer underground pigs. They just take more work..the block pit is a lot easier to mess with.
I still agree... nothing wrong with a good hot bed of coals. :thumb: :-D

Food for thought. Many of us don't. I haven't touched my wsm since a week before I got my Shirley home. I don't give a damn. I'll fire that big girl up for a single pork loin.

Best cologne on the market. The women love it.

Just because I have both doesn't imply anything. I still prefer my stuck burner.

I didn't say it wasn't preferred but its important for a newbie to know that a lot of "stickburners" also have a charcoal burner that's easier to use and still turns out great Q
 
This is a great thread. I have kept up since page 1. I am so close to finishing up my offset build. Sand blasting and paint. Then I’ll see just how hard or easy it is to cook on one. I have been building it a little at a time for 5 months. I’m so ready to light a fire.
 
I've had all the style smokers, and now have whittled mine down to just a WSM, Performer and Shirley. I loaned my WSM out, and prefer the Shirley overall. I just have a hard time finding affordable wood splits where I live. That is my only complaint.
 
I'm thinking my next grill will be englebrecht 1000

Santa Maria-Check
Charcoal-Check
Firebox-Check

So I did a 5 hour cook on the offset last night while watching the kids. It wasn't any more work than with my WSM, honestly. But I don't wrap my ribs and spritz them every 45 minutes to form that sweet glaze on top of the bark... like I do with the WSM. If the temp got down to 225, I threw another split on during the spritzing time. None of the kids were hurt nor did a fight break out when I stepped away for 5 minutes.

Maybe I will talk about it differently when I have to do this during the stall of a brisket.

It’s like the energizer bunny!
 
Last brisket I did stalled at 150 for over 8 hours. I finally said f it (forget it) and crutched it. It went from 150 to 209 in two hours
