    I have had it for a year now and done ribs, butts, steaks, burgers, chickens, smoked bacon and turkeys.

    I really just posted to see if I could yet. It took a while to get approval. I think my reputation as a trouble maker had preceded me! :)

    I have been cooking stuff 35 years or more.
    I will try to post up some of my cooks in the future as long as I can remember the camera and saty out of the adult beverages!

    @tulocay USC sure has gotten in my wallet. One son graduated from USC Upstate and a daughter graduating from Columbia this year. Thank God I will finally get a raise when she is done!

    Here is a picture of my helper for every cook during prep, cooking and serving. She really gets mad since I don't drop much.

    I had some aluminum flashing laying around so I measured a new lid for the smoker and bent and riveted it. (I kept the original lid so I could still use the smoker)  I cut a hole in the lid that would accept a dryer hose male fitting. A little bit of aluminum tape and a piece of dryer duct hose and there ya go. I just smash the dryer hose to fit in the bottom vent.
    The only problem is that the smoke only lasts about 1 hour before you have to refill the pan on the burner.

    Max temp on Egg was about 90 degrees. This works wonderful for cold smoking cheese. I don't know how it would do on bacon.

    welcome to the cult from Texas,the motherland of BBQ. I have used a similar rig for cold smoking with my mini, a length of dryer duct and my my large BGE. I do bacon and Canadian bacon on my large BGE with higher temps. I cook the bacon until the internal temp is 130 degrees.

    Well said Eggcelsior. Now for the real question. Mustard, vinegar or ketchup based sauce in SC?

    I'm from Charleston so mustard sauce for me. Eastern NC vinegar sauce for #2, as I have family on that side of 85.
