... on an old friend, my well used grill. Some cabbage and cauliflower for testing. There is some red oak in them coals. The air flow goes in the rear coal vents, through the coals/wood, up over the bricks and food, and then out the front coal vent under the food. I did have the vent on the top cracked open just a touch, but probably did not need to. I could only get it to 250 degrees F though. And the fuel area is a little snug. I estimate 4 - 5 hours of cooking fuel in the coal zone. I left about 6 inches of coal missing with a piece of wood at the bottom and dumped about 10 lit coals in there. Straight line minion method. Next time no wood there. The coals lit up the wood and made too much white smoke at the beginning. After that all went well. The food was dam good, using that red oak and 2 zone cookin'!

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
