Question, are there any recommendations for any portable smokers that would fit in the bed? Would be interested in taking it out to the deserts and having a barbeque with the boys.

There’s that one Traeger suitcase style smoker. Don’t know if it’s worth a damn but it exists. This one:

Traeger Ranger Wood Pellet Portable Grill Black Mfr# TFT18KLD - Ace Hardware

The Ranger is a compact, perfectly portable way to take your wood fired flavor wherever adventure takes you. The Ranger allows you to set a precise temperature in 5 degree increments, and the Keep Warm Mode holds your food at FDA approved 165 degrees Fahrenheit until it's time to eat. Next time...

WSM or even an OG Weber kettle will both fit and don't require electricity. Just takes a bit more skill.

Pork chops on the Big Green Egg. Smoked at 250 with hickory chunks. Pulled at 130 internal to rest and to get egg to 450 direct. Seared to 142-143, carried over to just over 145. Juicy and tasty.

Hate the Stall haha

I feel like the stall is when all the magic happens. All of the rendering of the fat and building of that meteor bark if you don’t wrap.
