Man I've been having fun with my Smokey Joe & My 22.5 one touch
Its been fantastic... I've made two briskets on my 22.5 at relatively high heat and they turned out fantastic
Made a whole pile of loin back ribs with the 3-2-1 method and grilled up some nice AAA Ribeyes mmm mmm
Also doing alot of things like pizza on a pizza stone, grilled fruits with light glazes
Oh & did another pork shoulder picnic, which was delectable... Man I'm goin to be 800lbs soon, thank God I play soccer three nights a week.
The kettles grill, and cook indirect incredibly well, but I've learnt that its shortcomings is that you do have to keep an eye on it, when doing low & slow.
You can do alot of things, like foil tape the bottom vents where no coals are, use fire bricks to isolate/redirect heat and use a water pan and using briquettes (minion method) is better than lump in this application.
However its just not as seal'd and simple as the weber smokey mountain, so my next purchase when I move into my new house will be a nice 18.5
Anyone going to the BBQ on the bow this weekend?
