[wind] sucks the heat out of the smoker Biggest problem I have with my setup. Our house is out on the end of a west-facing point, with several hundred feet of drop on the slope below us. Anytime we get the slightest bit of air movement, that wind comes up the hill and gets funnelled right past my smoker. It's nice that I never get smoke in my eyes, but very difficult to keep the smoker hot enough. I usually try to rig up a wind screen with an aluminum ladder and a tarp, but I am seriously considering building a wall on the windward side of my smoker area.

Ever try making barbequed pork fried pies? I have had those at a Dim Sum place. Of course, it was Chinese-style barbeque. Yes! Love them, although I like the BBQ pork in steamed buns(cha shu bao) the best.

We use Sweet Baby Ray's here, when we do a sweet BBQ, but mostly we just use a dry rub, or for chicken, I like Olive oil, Tequila, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper and lime juice marinade which we also baste the chicken with while it cooks on the grill.

No complaints other than I'd like to smoke a pork shoulder this weekend. I probably won't. It could take days. LOL!

If you haven't already, you may want to try Butt Rub.

Might work for you, but I just get the crap slapped out of me.

My wife used to make some terrific char siu bao. She even has a huge pot with multiple racks, just for steam buns. Unfortunately now she has discovered she reacts very badly to wheat. These days, I handle all the acquisition and processing of wheat products, since I will be the one eating them.
