Here’s a charcoal smoker tip that shows you how to avoid long temperature slumps in a charcoal barbeque smoker and get your meat smoked in record time.

Most times when you smoke, you will need to add more charcoal partly through the smoke. If you let too much of your charcoal burn up before adding more fuel, the temperature will drop dramatically and it will take longer than necessary for the new charcoal to make heat. This can be disappointing, especially if you have a deadline to meet and you don’t have time to lose.

This is especially bad if it’s cold outside or it’s raining and you open the smoking chamber door to check your meat. Under these conditions, we have found it can easily take up to 30 minutes to totally regain optimum smoking temperature.

Smoker Firebox Ready for More Charcoal

On the other hand, remember you don’t want a lot of extra charcoal in the firebox after you’re done. Be careful not to add too much toward the end of your smoke.

So keep some extra charcoal nearby and watch that firebox!

In the Meadow Creek line of barbecue smokers, the TS60 Smoker and the SQ36 Smoker appear so much alike on the surface, yet the one is more than double the cost of the other. What is the difference between these two fine entry-level BBQ smokers?

I just posted a new article that explains 8 main differences between the TS60 and the SQ36.

If you’re looking and wondering why or if you should spend $1,075 more, this short article should answer some questions in your mind. And please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail if you have any questions.
