    How to cut a turkey in half

    Is there any special way to do this If I have a larger turkey that I want to smoke? Also, could I spatchcock it and just cut it in half that way?  The spatchcock method sounds good but I don't think the turkey will fit laid down in my 18" WSM.

    Need help with starting WSM

    ahhh I'll have to try that and see if it helps.  Any ideas on what to use to light those starter briquettes?  I usually try to find old newspaper to burn under the bucket.

    Need help with starting WSM

    I did my first smoke on my older WSM a picked up off craigslist yesterday on a turkey and I think it was a success but still had issues.  I filled the basket with charcoal and added some hickory lumps and apple chips as well.(Couldn't find any apple chunks yet) I think my first issue was when I...

    My $60 WSM

    I had been checking for a few months every day, I didn't need one but wanted one so I wasn't rushing.  I almost got a nice newer one for like $150 but someone just beat me to it.  The guy said he was bombarded by calls and asked if he could have gotten more out of it lol. This one I was lucky...

    My $60 WSM

    Picked it up off craigslist for $20. Cleaned it off and replaced the cooking grates, new water pan, side door and dampers. Its an old model with a wooden handle. Best $60 ever! I'm gonna practice smoking a turkey this weekend.

    How to clean WSM

    As the title says, how do I clean a WSM?  Just normal soap and water?  Is there anything I can use to deep clean an old WSM that's been sitting for a while that normal soap water can't do?  Or should I just leave it as is?  Of course I'd just like for mine to look good :P  I'm talking about the...

    I'll give it a shot to loosen up the dampers.  A couple were bent pretty bad, but if I can just bend them back and still get good seals when closing then I'll just stick with them.  I put some PB Blaster on the dampers the first night but didn't put much on, so I make go a little heavy and just...

    Everything looks like it was there, albeit some of it I didn't plan to use like the grates due to rust.  But the exterior shell is in good shape.  The bottom dampers are in bad shape and won't move.  I'm hoping I can just drill out the rivets and put in the new ones that i believe will just come...

    Is this a WSM? Need answers fast!

    Well I hope the parts I bought fit.  I just spent 15 minutes looking on my grill for some number that Weber support says should be there, but wasn't.  Maybe mine is so old that the number wore off or something.  I just know it's the 18.5 model, so I ordered the parts that would fit the 18.5...

    Can someone tell me if the damper kits and door assembly are universal between the 22.5 and 18.5?  I can't find anyone with 18.5 parts in stock, but can find the 22.5 easily... Does Lowes/Home Depot sell this stuff in store?  Well I just answered my own question, the door is a different size...
