Just got a Smokey Joe!

[enerjex]

Hi all, I've just bought a smokey Joe to get my charcoal fix until I can afford a performer. Are their any tips or techniques from more experienced users to help me get the most out of this little weber? After having some poor results with a couple of brands of charcoal, I tried some hot shots and it has come to life! Specifically I'm interested in indirect techniques that work nicely for things like small roasts (I live alone), and marinated chicken products that tend to burn on the outside before cooking thru. Will I ever achieve a nice small pork roast with crackling In this,? Thanku!

Don't use those damn chicken sticks from the supermarket, they have too much sugar and as you have noticed.

Use a brine!

Start with 1tbs of salt in 1 litre of water and some fresh crushed garlic, leave it sit overnight, you'll love it. After that start to play with the flavours!

Cheers
Chris
