And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If I had one of these it would never get to cool off.
I've got one. Can't wear it out (covered when not in use). We run pork butts, ribs, brisket, salmon, and lots of other goodies. Seems like we smoke a salmon filet every week or two.
Had one for 17 or 18 years before the bottom rusted out. Replaced it with a Masterbuilt electric four years ago and find smoking much easier; exact temperatues, and easier to change flavor with different wood chips. Less romantic but much more consistent
I have been using a Weber 18” for about 12 years now. Love it. For smoking, you want to build up the charcoal around the outer edge (but not all the way around so its not touching) with a gap in the center. Then light one edge only. This allows a very long smoke without having to reload. Its called “The Ring of Fire”. And it works very well.
The jim minion method works good too. Also ditch the water bowl & use a Terracotta dish covered with tinfoil. No more nasty water to get rid of & no more of the smoke deposits on the lid flaking off. Check out virtualweberbullet.com they have all the mods .

ReplyDeleteOne of the best inventions ever made by mankind. Produces excellent smoked meats.
