God bless you guys that can run these R2D2 smokers. I do way to much drinkin when smokin meat. I had one, but couldn’t stay on top of it, way to much temperature fluctuations when football and alcohol is introduced into the equation. After killing a Traeger last year, the wife bought me another for Christmas. It’s a bit emasculating compared to some of the setups you boys are runnin, but it works for a lazy SOB like me.Gents and ladies alike,
My wife surprised me on Christmas morning with a Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5. I was honestly stunned. I’ve always wanted one but it was just an after thought. I’ve been watching youtube videos like crazy, mostly T-Roy Cooks. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I’ve ordered wood chunks (mesquite and hickory 4 lbs bags), a compact chimney starter and snagged a bag of kingsford blue charcoal. (That‘s what my dad always uses and that’s what I’ll be using.) There’s a few other goodies I’ll be picking up, but I’d like a decent thermometer with probes to measure temps on the grate, as well as the meat I’ll be cooking- so suggestions welcome. (Also, I’m in Canada, so some items may not be available here.)
I’d love to see your set ups.
Here she is. Assembled as soon as I opened it.

I think he was in the middle of his pre-business spin. He sometimes spins longer than it takes him to do the deed.That dog needs more fiber in its diet
Well I’m officially hooked on this method of cooking. So much so that I have purchased another tool for my arsenal. Weber’s Summit Kamado. Should be arriving this week, I hope.
