smoker recipes?

[Lars]

I'm using a vertical water smoker, and starting my charcoal using the minion method.

you can go 18 hours without adding charcoal using the minion method http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/fireup2.html#minion. this involves loading up the somker with unlit charcoal and then placing a handful of lit charcoal on top. as it burns the lit coals slowly start lighting the other coals. this method works very well in my experience.

you will need to add water every 3-4 hours.

Minion works well. Switch from water to sand in your heat sink and you don't to worry about anything but checking temps during the smoke.

I'll fill up the chamber next time with a lot more charcol and give it a try. Would be nice not to have to go out every hour.
