One word: Themapen...

The maiden voyage of my Facebook marketplace find (an obnoxious lime green 22" Weber Performer) was trying the Virtual Weber Bullet websites "Hot and Fast Chicken"
The thermopro I bought when first getting into smoking was having meat probe malfunctions, so I was also trying a new probe from amazon as well.
It all worked well. In fact, its the best barbecued chicken I've ever eaten, but I probably overshot with the charcoal. One or two chunks of apple wood seemed to work well.
Can the remaining charcoal be re lit or is that a no-no?
Either way, I look forward to firing up my WSM for the first time since 2019. I have about a bazillion pork shoulders in the freezer (grocery store had it for .99 a lb) and I hope to work my way up to a brisket at some point when I practice enough.
Any good ways to practice brisket without ruining a huge expensive packer?

Considering a Camp Chef DLX 24 as a combo pellet grill/smoker. Does anyone have any experience with one?This would be my first smoker.
Ive had one since ~2018.
Easy to use. Holds up reasonably well if you clean it and cover it.
Controller has died twice on me. Original "dumb" controller died after a few years. Replaced it with their WiFi controller. Definitely worth it for the ability to remotely monitor and shut down.
That WiFi controller died early this year and I replaced it with another. New unit definitely has some design changes. Hopefully it holds up. So far I'm averaging 3 years per controller.
I think I paid $400 shipped when I bought my DLX originally. Totally worth it. If I was paying today's prices I might take a close look at RecTec as they seem to have better build quality and materials.
I also was looking at the Req Tec Deck Boss 590. The ability to add the side kick to the camp chef and utilize the stuff I already have on it was a selling point ( we keep a Camp Chef stove with griddles and a grill box in our camper).
Did you keep the top vent closed to turn the Weber into a smoker?The maiden voyage of my Facebook marketplace find (an obnoxious lime green 22" Weber Performer) was trying the Virtual Weber Bullet websites "Hot and Fast Chicken"
