Awesome, thanks guys. Can't wait to put it to use.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This thread is really long and I'm sure I'll miss some things.

I have the larger one.  Use the minion method for burning your charcoal.  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/minion-method-explained-with-tutorial

Also, smokingmeatforums.com has some good in their actual forums for getting started, as far as tips and stuff go.

I start my charcoal in a chimney to start, leave a hole in the greater pile(along the side) and dump it in when ready.  Then, after stacking the rest of the grill up, I fill my bowl with water as hot as the faucet will give it to me.  Once I put a brisket on, it usually takes me about 30-45min to stabilize temp.  Once stabilized, you can leave it alone for 1-2hrs and it won't budge unless it is raining, windy, or something like that. 

Most of what you will want to know up front will end up requiring personal preference and feel to actually get down.  Just go buy some stuff and start smoking it.

One thing i learned is to always put more charcoal in there than you think you need. Much rather have too much than have to try to give it more fuel in the middle of a cook.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

I don't feel like I get enough bark on my que.  Am I not using enough rub or not cooking it long enough?

According to those idiots in the rye thread you should just go buy some meat with the right amount of bark already cooked on.

Probably more than one way to do it, but I bet a higher heat at some point would help.  Maybe at the end.  Dry out/crisp up the outside a little.

Did my first seasoning dry run a couple days ago, as multiple resources have suggested online. Lots of heat, no meat, all day burn to build up some creosote and knock the shine off the interior. I kept a detailed log of vent position, coal amount, and heat with all those variables.

Pretty excited to get temps regulated and be able to throw some animal flesh on and learn the ropes!

Modified Minion Soo method...





Please ignore the grass, or lack of, I'm trying to fix part of the gf's yard where she kept her riding mower for years before I came along.  :facepalm:

Mrs. Gooch is heading to the undisputed worst town in Kansas this weekend. What should I make this weekend in her absence?

Pulled beef.  Had it at Arthur Bryants a few weeks ago.  It was amazing and I haven't had time to work on replicating it yet.  Do that and post results,  TIA.

Mow your lawn instead of sitting on your ass drinking ethos.

Jk, it's the weekend.
