re: Competition BBQ vs Restaurant BBQ

when I ate there it was OK, nothing to write home about. I ate at about 8 NC bbq restaurants last year and was underwhelmed by the pulled pork at every place. Just lacked smoke flavor and tasted little difference from pork cooked in an oven. I can produce better, smokier pulled pork. When I go to Texas though, the brisket really stands out as a must have that I can't replicate or buy in Louisiana.
Doesn’t NC have a strict law about wood burning at restaurants and the only ones that can are grandfathered in? My wife has relatives near Lexigington NC and I recall we were directed by them to specifics places that still were allowed to burn wood.

What makes you legal in a comp with an electric or propane smoker? Serious question because I have a propane smoker that I built.

Nothing. My point on that comment was to modify the electric smoker, that he already has, to be legal. You'd already have an insulated box that you can work with. Remove the electric heat, add a charcoal basket, and some sort of adjustable intake. Or......just build a uds or buy a wsm.

PK work well with lump too or it’s built for briquettes?
Posted on 8/9/18 at 11:00 am to Louie T
Yes. It's a tight build, and controlling airflow with the two intake pipes makes it easy.

I have a Primo XL, but I moved states - I’m not moving that monster. I’ve been meaning to buy a grill, and it’ll either be a Weber kettle or original PK.

A New Braunfels offset stick burner
Green Mountain Grill pellet smoker
A regular charcoal pit that was made out of thin stainless metal. Probably use it the most...I set it up to have two zones.
And last, an Orion Cooker. About all I use it for is to "smoke" turkey in on Thanksgiving.

Whichever you decide, add a set of grill grates to it. You'd love them.

Ok, now I'm remember your setup from a previous thread. You just about have everything that you really need. You can mod that charcoal grill to get hotter. If I'd add anything to your collection, it might be a wsm or uds.

Mine would never win a competition.
Unless I was the judge and then I would be right up in the running.

I thought about building a UDS, but decided to be lazy and went with a WSM. Then got even lazier and got a DigiQ.

You can run a wsm like a uds, and get similar results. Remove the water bowl, pick up one of those charcoal disks for the old smokey at academy, and put on the second cooking shelf. It acts as a perforated heat deflector.
