I use my offset smoker at 350 until I get the meat to about 155. But first I make enough of a fire out of charcoal under the grate to seer all sides then move it away from the coals and I used mesquite in the offset burner finish it. Usually between 40 and 50 minutes.

Todays cook. “Texas Honey”/Chipotle ribs, tri tip, duroc pork chops, cheddar brats, and bacon wrapped jalepenos.
My meal prep for a week is slightly different than Martha Stewart’s.

and that’s a good thing.
Which smoker is that?
It’s a gravity fed charcoal smoker by masterbuilt. If you’re willing to put some elbow grease in, and mod these things, they are pretty badass.

This is why I went with the Broil King Keg. A portable large Komodo >>>> most other camping options.
Don’t have a pig roaster… yet.

Ahhh…I was looking at the one in front of it. I like the looks of the broil king.
Came here to ask: has anyone been to Viola and Agnes’ in Seabrook? Just saw an article in Texas Highways (not online) and it sounded really good. He uses some dried shrimp in his gumbo which I’d never heard of but makes sense, will have to try next time I make a pot. They’ve also got a dish (not on the regular menu, must be a special) called sticky chicken that’s Asian/Hawaiian-influenced and sounds delicious.

Nope, but the Chronicle named it one of the top 100 restaurants in Houston a couple years ago. Here’s a fairly recent review (gift article, shouldn’t be paywalled): https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/Alison-Cook-Viola-Agnes-Neo-Soul-Cafe-17462857.php?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG91c3RvbmNocm9uaWNsZS5jb20vZm9vZC1jdWx0dXJlL3Jlc3RhdXJhbnRzLWJhcnMvYXJ0aWNsZS9BbGlzb24tQ29vay1WaW9sYS1BZ25lcy1OZW8tU291bC1DYWZlLTE3NDYyODU3LnBocA%3D%3D&time=MTcxODY0MDM0MTUyOQ%3D%3D&rid=ZGQxMjViNjAtODM2Ni00MzY0LWE1ZTEtOTEwNzNkYTUxZGE2&sharecount=Mg%3D%3D

What’s a good place around there? I can drive further south (or east/west) if needed.
