    How long and how much wood?

    Hi folks, I really fancied smoking some whole chickens this weekend for some friends, usually concentrate my smoking time to pulled pork but feelin' like it's time to diverse. Just bought 6 x 4lb chix to put in the WSM, just made the brine and chilling now. Going to leave them in the brine...

    Smoked Chicken. My favorite

    Just gonna smoke some chix this weekend on my WSM, just wondering if you brined first or not? If not, did you notice any dryness or did she come out fine? Many thanks

    Thanks Wolfman, I'll never submerge again, I've always thought they're pretty robust but now I know to take more care.

    Maverick temp probes, best way to clean please.

    Can I just place it over the joints and use a gas lighter to seal or does it have to be a hot air gun or what, my tools are a bit limited.

    Thanks for that, didn't really think that would be the problem. I'll invest for the new probes and continue doing so.

    Hi folks. I've had an ET 732 for a couple of years now and now the meat probe is registering HHH so I'm guessing that it's had it's day. I've also bought a new Mav a month ago and checked it in there and the same happen. It looks fine though, no bad connections or frayed wires, just wondering...

    What do I do now?

    Hi Guys, Got a problem with my WSM, made a big big mistake. I always use restuarant grade charcoal but I got caught short on a windy weekend and ran out on a 17 hour pork butt smoke. Very close to my house is a general hardware store that sell bags of charcoal, to cut a long story short, bought...

    Hi folks, UK calling, Pork Butt 12 hours in, reading 171, when and if to foil?

    Thanks for the support everyone. I will post some pics when I finally get there, decided not to foil and gave the fire a stoke and the pork has now been in the WSM for 15 hours, hope I'm doing the right thing! I've upped the temp slightly to 235 and IT is 182. I want to keep things simple and...

    Hi folks, UK calling, Pork Butt 12 hours in, reading 171, when and if to foil?

    Thanks JJ for being my first reply, you'll be remembered! The meat was 10lb so I'm still a bit short on time then maybe. Will it dry out over time?, if not I'll just let it go for a while.

    Hi folks, UK calling, Pork Butt 12 hours in, reading 171, when and if to foil?

    Hi everyone, I put my first butt in last night at 12.30, it's now nearly 12.30 lunchtime, so 12 hours. The temp has only risen 3 degrees in 2 hours, it's been at 171 for an hour and the WSM's sitting at 225 constantly. Just wondering what the next step should be and how long before she come's...
