1st cook Weber One Touch Premium & Smokenator

[Dodge]

Any particular reason you went for the smokenator? The water pans seem tiny and needs refiling often, the snake and minion method alone seems enough to control low temps for smoking on a kettle.

Enjoy your new toys!

Hi, i went for the Smokenator after watching many vids on youtube with great results, as a total newbie to low n slow, it seemed the easiest way to give it a try. I do understand, I'm sure i could get the same results without the Smokenator now. I now have it, and have done a couple of low n slows, and it works great and is easy to maintain during the cook. The water pan holds around 750ml and at 250f needs refilling about once every hour. You could also cook say a huge turkey with Smokenator, as the turkey could be put on the charcoal grate giving much more room.

I've got that very same roaster, and it gives amazing results! The first few times I used it, I added liquid into the bottom, but then I read the beer can chicken article on amazing ribs and now I don't bother adding anything to it, and it comes out just as good, just make sure you've got a drip pan on the coal grill, because you get fat dripping all over the place!

Edit: this is a link to the article, if anyone is interested http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_techniq ... icken.html

Great to hear it works well. It turned up today, will give it ago over the weekend.
