What Gas fired Kettle smoker?

[Dapper Dan]

Good evening.

Looking for some help.

I have recently Quit my job as an estate agent and am in the throws of setting up a street food stall selling ribs, beans and coleslaw ( to start with.) All the recipys are from my friends in Texas and were staples for me when i holidayed out there every summer when i was younger.

I have a Gas fired Kettle BBQ at the moment and though i am getting good results i want to achive great results. My thermostat currently shows that i cant get much below 375f. Now i curently apply dry rub and then cook for 25 min a side, then place in foil, Baste in BBQ sauce then add 1/4 cup of Cola seal the package and cook for a further 40 min. This gives me lovely tender pull off the bone but i know i can get better.

Is there a Kettle ( gas fired ) that will go to the magic 225f and can have a smoke tray. Or should i go for an automated gas fired smoker if so which one.
Please advise.


Thanking you in advance.

Which gas kettle do you have I can get my Ascona down low, but producing smoke is a pain in the elbow.
