    Good Lump

    Just got my WSM 18" a few days ago and I am trying to find some good lump here in the Seattle area. I have checked out the Naked Whiz Lump review but the majority of the lump with good reviews is hard to find around here. So where do you PNWer's get your good lump?

    Ordered my 1st smoker today!

    So I went and did it. I ordered a WSM 18.5" and it should be here next week. I know Weber has made some changes to it (thermometer, larger water pan, bigger door). Are there any worthwhile mods I should be aware of?

    Most of the time I’ll be smokin’ for 2-4 people, occasionally it could be 10-15 but I also have a gas grill for doing burgers, steaks, etc. I think the biggest cut of meat I plan on doing is maybe a turkey at Thanksgiving.

    Help me decide....

    Okay well I my first smoke was a week ago and learned a couple lessons, first, patience will be rewarded. And two, smoking on a gas grill sucks. So I have convinced my better half to let me indulge my inner manhood and get a dedicated smoker. I have done some research online and have nailed it...

    New Guy Here

    Hey there everybody. New guy here from the Port Orchard, WA, west of Seattle across the Puget Sound. I’m also new to smokin’ so I imagine I am going to have a lot of questions. Don’t worry I know how to use the search function. Anyway, looks like a great forum and I’m excited to learn a lot.
