Nice Rig
I calculated the cost of the parts. It comes out to $70.49 (including 6% sales tax). That cost doesn't include the hickory chips. How much does an Egg cost?
A whole sh***load more than $75.00 . I've got a large BGE, as other members around here do also.
Doing a pork butt, and whole chicken right now.
Pork butt is seasoned with fennel, garlic, chili flakes, pepper, salt, mustard powder, and a little rosemary.
Chicken is seasoned with a 50/50 blend of coarse sea salt and brown sugar, with some rosemary too.
Should be an interesting smoke, as the chicken will be done far before the pork.
I will give it a shot Wednesday, I'll crank the burner to high, and see where that gets me.
It does get to 160 very quickly, but it still didn't break 200 this time, and I had turned it up a little.
Maybe I should just set it at the highest, and just check on it more often.
With the higher temp, will a water pan be necessary, or will the bark hold the good stuff in?
