I agree with un,... thats why i said mine in the post up above. I use a grill made from a 55 gal drum,.... that i made 12 years ago. I used stainless steel diamond mesh for bottom coal rack and upper cooking rack. It take about 6 hours in mine and 10 lb of charcoal, with hickory for smoke, to do a butt. And yeah, Bunyuns or even Mrs Thompsons slaw from the store is good.
The smoker I have is over 50 years old and came from Texas. I only use it when I get in the serious mood. I start with about 10lbs of charcoal and use fresh cut hickory for the smoke. Heck I use green hickory even in my small grill. There is nothing like that hickory smoke to make anything better.
We have a huge Hickory tree in our back yard. I don't want to cut it. Can you use the nuts for smoking too?
