Humphreys Pint+ seasoning cook

[grills gone wild]

I woke up this morning and thought, it's just too cold to play outside....but I have a Humphreys now...cold...I laugh at cold. Commence with the seasoning. She's lubed up and going to run it for a few hours then toss on a couple beef ribs. I know it's not a big cook, but I really wanted to see how she runs in the cold cold.

There is about 15lb of briquettes and lump mixed. The water pan is lined with a full hotel tray and has 3 fire bricks.

Lit @20 briquettes and dumped in the corner @9:45. Temp outside is 0








About 2.5 hours in we are at the 260 range.



A couple beef ribs on at 3 hours in. Outside temps at 8 deg.

You can cut down your start up time add more lit coal or use a weed burner and light a good piece of the front.

I've got a battle box that I've fallen in love with. I've found it helps to preheat the inside of your cab with a weedburner. There's a lot of metal to heat up in that thing. By preheating I'm stabilized at 240 in less than 20 mins.
