    Smoking Ribs for a large group

    Thanks for the ideas.  I think ribs and pulled pork should do it.  I'd be making them for my Navy unit and the numbers could get up there.  But Ribs and pulled pork is a great idea to feed a bunch. Thanks, SSB

    WSM running hot

    Update- running 260-270 for about 4 hours with all bottom vents closed.  Then closed top vent about 1/4 closed and it brought it down to about 250ish.  Once the WSM was in the shade(hour later) it cam right down to 230-240.  I think it was part because it was in the shade and part because its...
