Hi Steve,

Real nice to hear from you and thanks a bunch for your reply. I have
had a test run with the Smokey Joe and I am fairly happy with the
results (so far). Did a nice rack of lamb last nite with an
accompaniment of assorted root vegetables - overall I was quite
pleased with the vegetables but I think I need a bit more practice
with cooking meats. Steve (and others here experienced in kettle
bbq'ing) what number of briquettes would you recommend for a kettle
the size of a Smokey Joe? I think I may have had too few briquettes,
and as a result, the heat was not enough to give it that crspiness on
the outside. Also, which is best - direct heat or indirect heat for
giving the desired results?

Would love to hear you recommendations.

Kind Regards and thank you very much in advance for your advise,
Brian Anasta
