As we saw in Part One… so far the first Weber Smokey Mountain smoke has been pretty uneventful. Camden took charge. The fire got built and the chicken went on with a few brats. After the first 90 minutes, the lid came off with no great billow of smoke. Oh well, that would have made for a great photo.

Things started out easy enough. Simple three page newspaper roll into the bottom of the chimney. Lit well and took a good 20 minutes to ash over. It seemed like a long time but it did give me the chance to take care of some other things.
