Cooking Butt on my Weber Performer. First time trying Low and Slow on this cooker. Banked the coals on one side then lit 10 briquettes and added wood. I hope I can stabilize temps because I don't want to have to fiddle with it. Wish me luck!

Tell your Summit Charcoal that I'm firing my (Mr. Fancypants) Summit up today for a batch of ribs. That way he can enjoy the cook vicariously while he looks at that usurper kettle perking along.

3 Weber Performers
1 classic kettle
1 26" kettle
1 Smoky Joe
1 PBC
4 Thermoworks POPs
2 Dot and 1 Chef Alarm
2 Temp spikes
4 Slo n Sears
1 Smokenator
2 Vortex
I found marking the full open and full closed ash sweep position to be helpful in adjusting the lower vent as it can't be seen during cooks normally.

HawkerXP Thanks! I’ve already got a WSM, which is why I’ve been on the fence about getting a SnS. But then you reminded me about searing my steaks on it. It’s worth it to me for that feature alone. I just now ordered me the Deluxe SnS thru the AR website from SnS Grills! And you’re right about marking the kettle sweeper. I marked me a 1/4 and 1/2 open setting with a magic marker first time I used it.

PJ...
Gotcha covered, far as reasons to git an SnS, amigo...
Many folks don't know it, but I might gots me a few Webers lol
I have me four SnS orig, two XL's fer th 26's
Also have me 3 18.5' WSM's, which see regular service
Apples
N
Oranges.
Can do th same danged thing, with either...
But, a smaller smoke, easier, peasier, more economical, faster, with th SnS / 22.5" kettle combo.
This from a guy who has smokers dang near big enough to load a sheet o plywood in...Last edited by Mr. Bones; August 22, 2020, 01:07 PM.

Thanks MB! That’s what I was thinking also, a little easier and quicker! Plus, I’ve always thought it kind of a pain wrapping my WSM water pan in foil to keep it clean.....then unwrapping it with all the water and juices mess. With the SnS I can just pull it out and dump. Three!.......18.5†WSM’s? ðŸ§

Something you may want to investigate for doing low and slow without a Slow 'N Sear in your kettle is the "snake" method. This is what I used before I had a SNS, and it was always a foolproof way to do low and slow cooks at 225F, on any kettle (I had 2 at the time).
This is an article with good pictures of how you set that up - I usually just did it almost all the way around.

So far so good! 7 hours at average temp of 257. I was worried about how well the temp would hold since I would not be babysitting it. We have company up and we were fishing on the lake.
I used Fogo lump and there is still about half left to go. Meat temp is 177 and holding.
Thanks for all the encouragement!

smokin fool You should post an occasional BBQ pic with your dog in it. She’s really purty. I think it would add to the interest of our pics if more people would include their dogs and cats in their cooking pictures, maybe just occasionally. Mr. Bones showed his cat in one really good pic he posted, you also did....along with someone with a dog named Pork Chop, he was sitting there staring at the grill. 😄. Just a thought. I would, but I don’t have any pets.
