I answer viewer questions in this Q&A Thursday Chat Vlog.

1:39 Do you ever use lump charcoal in your Weber kettle? If so, what would be the advantages/disadvantages over using briquettes?
4:31 Have you, or any of your local smokers, ever built a UDS from scratch? Was there a video made showing how?
7:18 I'm looking to get some cheap lighting to help my videos look a little bit better. What do you recommend in the $100 range?
10:27 Do you feel like there is a certain time of day that is best to upload your videos to get maximum views and subs?
14:46 Are you going to do a few more cooks on your Weber Kettle? Did you put any upgrades on it?
17:11 I've got a question regarding the grate level thermometers...I use two 2X2 blocks of wood with the points of the thermometers through a hole I drilled in each block. The question is, once the blocks of wood heat up, would that affect the reading I get from each thermometer?
20:08 Crab legs or Crawfish...what's yer favorite?
22:07 Do you ever soak your wood blocks in water and add it in the Weber Smokey mountain?
22:57 Does Texas Post Oak make a difference in flavor when smoking Brisket?
25:48 I’ve heard that in order to burn a clean fire on an offset, you should always leave the exhaust stack wide open. Any adjustments needed to control temps should be primarily done by adjusting the amount of logs you’re burning, along with the intake vent. What are your thoughts on the exhaust stack being left wide open?
30:11 Hey TRoy! Are you going to evolve your shiny Dratini!
32:39 What's your thoughts on spatchcock vs. whole when doing a chicken on the Weber?
