In digging out the ash can in the dark I stumbled upon a few logs that did not burn all the way, and remembered what Huskee taught us about using pre burnt logs. So I dusted them off and waited for the chimney of charcoal to finish. I put the hot charcoal in and these 4 nice chunks of pre burnt wood on top, and a couple small and cut short splits on top of that, and I had good coals and blue smoke in just a few minutes!!!
I've spent an hour waiting for this type of fire usually. The brisket is on and the offset is putting out this beautiful smoke at 250 on the top grate (I'm using the lower grate). Yeah!! Ps I cannot figure how to embed a pic in the posts texts from my iPhone. I'll have to go read the post that I'm sure already addresses that.
