    Hello all, It's been a while since I posted here. I've smoked several butts on the WSM but always 1 at a time. Never attempted multiple butts. They normally seem to take about an hour to an hour 15 per pound on my smoker. I am smoking a 9.68 lb. and a 9.69 lb. for my mother in law's surprise...

    beef ribs

    I didn't see a sticky on beef ribs. I am smoking a rack of st. louis ribs and picked up some beef ribs to try as well. I've never done beef before. Can someone give me a basic outline for how to smoke these? Thanks!

    I just fired the wsm up and put a rack of spares on about 30 minutes ago. The fiance decided she wants pork chops. So I just seasoned them a little and tossed them on the smoker as well.

    My family gave me a 22.5" WSM for Christmas (woo hoo!). After assembling it, I noticed the access door does not seem to seal very well. Is this a problem others have had? Is there a recommended modification? Always appreciate the expert advice I get from here. I can't wait to fire this thing...

    lil help please

I dumped a new chimney full of lit coals in about 30-45 minutes ago and it is still below 200. I'm still learning this so any help...

    my first newbie question

    I have a quick question for you guys about wood. My family owns some land and it is full of oak and hickory with a few apple trees. Is there any reason why I shouldn't walk through and gather my own wood? I would know better than to gather rotten or nasty looking wood but I have a few oak limbs...

    hello

    Hello from south Tennessee. I am new to smoking but am officially addicted. Ribs finally turned out great after a few not so great attempts and that is all she wrote for me. I'm hooked. Already found some great information on this board. Thanks everyone.
