    Weber Smokey Mountain

    I only got a chance to snap the remains after we'd eaten, but I was impressed with the capabilities of the ProQ. I managed 16 drumsticks, 2.7kg of pork shoulder, pork belly and pit beans.

    Weber Smokey Mountain

    I decided to fire up the ProQ today and try it out. Got a pork shoulder on with pit beans underneath. Unfortunately the heavens just opened. I've put the unit in my greenhouse (no plants in it), hopefully all goes well! I'll pop some photos on later if it's not a disaster.

    Weber Smokey Mountain

    I didn't get the cold smoking unit. Perhaps once I've perfected hot smoking. Seasoning the proq as I type this, dumped half a chimney of lumpwood in and the temp roared past anything I could have achieved on my POS old smoker. I think I'll need to recalibrate my mind as to how I maintain temp...

    I've since changed my mind regarding the WSM, and am now looking at ProQ smokers. Are they any good?

    Weber Smokey Mountain

    Hi all I've decided to look for a WSM as an upgrade over my ECB style bullet smoker, which is a nightmare to maintain temp and burns through fuel. Can anyone recommend good places to look? There's a 37cm one on a website at £210 just now, but it's missing the thermometer and is the same size...

    New smoker - looking for advice.

    Today I decided I'd do another chicken and try some pit beans whilst I was at it. Starting to get a handle on controlling the temp. Need a better beans recipe though, the ACV in the recipe I used was too overpowering.

    New smoker - looking for advice.

    I just found an old thread which seems pertinent to my predicament: "Well after three nights of failure, I finally got it. First I tried going to wood charcoal and less water in the pan. This resulted in a temp around 190. So I gave up. Next night I figured it was not getting enough air, so I...

    It wasn't touching the sides. I put a kettle of boiling water on top of the foil, when I poured the water out the foil was cool to the touch.
