New members just a bit of advice from my experience as a new member.

Stubbs, check out the charcoal & komado channels. You should wait until the blue smoke stops or nearly stops, then you'll just have heat from the coals for the most part.

How long do I wait after lighting Komodo before starting to grill. We don't like the smoke taste.

Hi Andy, this is your first post. Welcome to the "Pit Nation". You are going to like it here. Lots of help from folks that have done it not just sat in front of the computer and read about it. I look forward to your posts and pics.

Well I can tell you when I did my practice run for The Ultimate Turkey I remember MH said I may not need to add smoke that the charcoal may be enough. It was not my wife said it was not smoked enough. I guess it is all in the personal taste but I like smoke which is the whole reason I smoke stuff. LOL

I usually add a couple small chunks of mesquite, hickory, or apple once the charcoal is going pretty good... works great!

To Guy,,,yeah I am a bit late on a reply,,,,I bought my 22'WSM 3-4 years ago and have not looked back since. I did not even know of the PBC until of late. A friend bought one and is quite happy with it. I asked him how much wood he uses for smoking and he said the PBC crew said you don't need to add wood chips/chunks but you can if you like....HUH?? No wood chips, no smoke flavor from wood chips? I guess the meat drippings and charcoal add enuff "smoke flavoring"?? Can someone please splain that to me. If you notice in the videos Noah presents he does not use wood at all. I really enjoy the set it and forget concept.

Marauderer, I just brought a John Deer mower from Wise. My wife has known the Wise family for years, Let me know next time you are coming. Supposed to be in the low 20's here on Tuesday.

We will be coming down before the end of the year. I am sending you a PM

[Guy]

Thanks and suits me. Might save a new member until they realize they want everything anyway. LOL

Guy, I saw in your SIG that you live in the Crestview area. My son lives in Allentown (North Milton) and gets his tractors from Wise Equipment in Crestview. Maybe we can get together the next time I visit him.

Good thread Guy. I'm going to sticky it so new members will have a better time seeing it in the future.
