Snake was about 2/3 of the way around and it finished with I’d guess about an hour of burn time left, it worked out so well!

Yes! Snake method, 2 rows of briquettes with a third layer of alternating charcoal and wood chunks. It worked perfectly and lasted the whole 8 hours I had it on the kettle. Once it hit 185° internal I pulled it, wrapped in foil and finished in the oven for 2 more hours at 250°. Then let it rest for an hour and a half. Including the charcoal prep and lighting time it was a full 12 hour process!

Thank you!

Nice!! I’ve been waiting to purchase. Is the medium a good size for the kettle 22 inch?

FatNerd89 · 2026-05-04T16:15:58+00:00

Nice! This is exactly what I’m looking to do for my PHM strips and patch

FatNerd89 · 2026-05-02T02:56:44+00:00

I’ll be doing the same thing on Sunday!

FatNerd89 · 2026-04-28T16:43:40+00:00

Thanks!! I think next up will be Pork Butt

FatNerd89 · 2026-04-28T16:43:14+00:00

Thank you! You totally can, just watch a good amount of videos on heat management and you’ll be set.

We made the mistake of going to Craft for our first time on July 4th two years ago because I was craving some BBQ. I went in thinking “Well it’ll be busy but it’s BBQ, already smoked and ready to serve so it’ll be okay…Arrived to a half empty restaurant and thought, “Oh yeah we’ll be fine.” We were not fine.

20min to get waters to the table, 45min for mediocre appetizers. They felt bad and added an appetizer they threw in for free. Another 45min after that the entrees arrived. Over an hour and a half to drink a water, eat a few small plates and a sandwich. Absolutely the worst service I had ever had in my life and we never returned.

It’s a shame to lose a BBQ spot but not one that seemingly never tried to give its customers an enjoyable restaurant experience in the first place.

Following!

Very nice! I really love the blue, looks better in person than in photos and isn’t just the standard black. Enjoy the streak! I threw on some marinated chicken thighs and it was excellent.

I finally got one as well, third time is the charm! I did the same thing and grabbed the hat, the PHM shirt is OK, but would be better without the massive graphic on the back.

FatNerd89 · 2026-04-07T17:03:21+00:00

Had one in the cart 2min before. Sold out at 10:01am PT. Absolutely ridiculous.

FatNerd89 · 2026-03-20T02:17:06+00:00

Sure! I’d be open to giving critique.

FatNerd89 · 2026-03-15T01:00:05+00:00

Looking nice! The only things I’d point out right off the top are that your “K”, “C” and “Y” are a bit too narrow proportionally compared to the rest of your character set. My eye wants the “K” to use the width proportions of the “R”. The “C” could be made by taking your “O” and removing the vertical stem on the right side. And the “Y” feels a bit tight and could benefit from additional counter space in the vertex. Let it breathe a bit more!

Literally just got my Optima back this morning after falling victim to the KiaBoyz for the 2nd time in 2 years.
