Bought a replacement for my long dead charcoal grill and want to try some smoking. I bought an Akorn kamado grill because it gets real hot real quick for searing steaks, but with the heat deflector it will smoke too. From what I hear it likes to run about 250 degrees (can be hard to keep it less than that) and you need to approach it gradually. Anyway I'm ready to give it a try. Most likely I will not have the temp control down pat yet so something a little temp forgiving might be the ticket. Any suggestions for meat & or recipe for a somewhat newbie proof but rewarding first go?
