Old Country BBQ Pits Brazos Biscuit Test

Do you have tuning plates

[@bridgesbrothersbbq1093]

I was using this initial biscuit test to determine if I needed to add tuning plates. So the current answer is no, but I think I am going to invest in some tuning plates and some fire bricks to maintain a more even temperature across the entire smoker. I added the plate that came in the bottom of the firebox as a makeshift tuning plate, and that has actually worked out quite well to regulate the huge hot spot that I had in the middle of the cook chamber. Thank you for your comment!

@@rawjan39 Yea I mean use what works best for you. Learn the smoker and figure out what is right for you and how you like to cook. I found that, for me, I like building the fire on the actual bottom of the firebox. I know that it will result in quicker deterioration of the firebox, but I like having a nice, hot coal bed during the entire cook. It makes it much easier for me to ignite a split of wood on those coals instead of trying to use a fire grate or fire basket. I may end up changing that in the future, but for now, it seems to work the best for me.
