Smoke Somethin

Got this char-griller premium kettle for my birthday, it says its a smoker too.

So after a little research and about 40 bucks for charcoal baskets and a pizza stone I'm gonna give it a shot.

Here's the kettle

Charcoal baskets

Modified grate out of my old grill, had to cut the sides off, and hit it with a hammer a couple times so it would get past these bolts.

Pizza Stone(heat diffuser)

Water/drip pan

Forgot to add the apple wood, it wasn't that bad to open everything back up. Glad I took out some of the center of the old grate.

Iron mikes mustard Bbq for a binder and Montreal steak, some minced onions, salt and pepper on the rub.

I'm pretty excited about this. Temps got hot for a minute, like 275 but I was watching it. Its sitting at 224 now.

Hopefully the kids don't try and say its spicy or something.

Did a couple pepperoni ones too, the first one was a little rough. Parchment makes it easier. And I got some cheesy bread in there now but the coals are dying down and its taking forever. And nobody is hungry.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm really nappy, need to swing by the Ppatb thread too.

Nice!!! those look delish
 
Put it on at 9:44. Its supposed to rain later, Idk if I will have to finish it in the oven.

My buddy's homegrown honey for a binder. Head country, Montreal steak, and a sprinkle of lemon pepper for the rub.

Did my coals different, hoping it maintains temp and burns a little longer this way. I should have put the lot coals to the backside of one of the baskets. Maybe would have more even heat.

Is there a pizza thread? Guess I will just leave this here, I cooked it in the oven though, like a bum.

It was pretty good. I need to get my times and temperatures dialed in, maybe by next year I will have it figured out lol. I should watch a couple youtube videos.
