Just put a chuck roast on the weber kettle. Forgot to take pics of beginning. Defrosted in a marinade of fresh onion and garlic, Stub's bbq and worcestershire for 24 hours. Started grill with 3/4 chimney of charcoal. Added two chunks of hickory and apple cherry chips soaked in water. 225 till...

Yeah. My concern was the flame height even on the 10 tip. If you've already done one working set up, did you find a good guide to work off or are you a plumber that knows what you're doing

Well I have 6 gallons of an amber style ale that i threw together and its been aging for about 7 weeks now. So I think Im going to package half of it, brew the ale i normally barrel age(with staves, not in a barrel) and ferment it at least through primary. Then, add it to the rest of that amber...
