I want to thank everyone who has posted here about KBQ. I got mine on Tuesday and today was my first run. I learned about what temp to set it at, using lump charcoal at the bottom. Filling the firebox, tending to the coals to make sure they are flat at the bottom, how to run the thermometer through the top corner of the door and how to use the poppets. I would have been lost without all of your guidance. With that, I was amazed how my first smoke turned out. I have been using a pit barrel for the last few years and can't believe how much better it is. I did ribs and a tri tip and seared the tri tip over the firebox.

Glad to hear it went well! After 5 years, I still love my KBQ. It is the best tasting smoker I have and there is nothing I'd rather use to smoke a brisket or some ribs. It kills it every time.
