Bskd

Here's the BSKD I got from Grand Master.



After mods and paint helping out the drum



Ribs, hot gut, and 1" thick briskets with no fat caps (they were 30% off at Safeway so WTH)



Jalapeno and Habanero ABTs on the drum (1/2 rack was for the guys upstairs running the gas line for our new Electrolux Dual Fuel range) with Texas Red and Keri's Beans on the bottom rack.



Here's the mods so far

Charcoal basket (inspired by Klose)and firebrixks bottom and sides of firebox



Baffle and firebricks in smoke chamber



3" thermometer

I should have paid closer attention but I was running up keeping an eye on the guys extending the gas line to the kitchen. It seems like it was about four hours, maybe 6. It held the temp rock solid through the first basket. I loaded a half chimney twice after that and it stayed around 190 with the intake wide open. I was thinking that I might weld up another basket; that way when one's done I just pull it out and throw in the other.

I thought it was odd when I cleaned it out the next day as it felt just a little warm when I opened the firebox lid. When I dumped the ash out there were still some red coals....24 hours later!
