Christmas time means new first time Smoker!
Thanks! I took the bowl out completely for the chicken, as I wanted temps in the 300s (was around 310-320 the whole smoke). I chose the high heat method strictly for crispier skin, which I got. I'll likely follow the same empty/full water bowl methodology you mentioned. I'm crossing my fingers... -
Christmas time means new first time Smoker!
Thank you all for the tips. I did a high heat smoked chicken on the WSM for about an hour, and the results were fantastic enough that my wife wants me to smoke twice this holiday weekend. So, I'm going to do the chicken again on Saturday, and then Pulled Pork on Monday. I know I was lucky to... -

Thanks, WaterinHoleBrew! I was thinking of starting off with the Pork Butt, so I'm glad you confirmed that for me. To this point, my wife usually plopped the Boston Butt into a slow cooker with seasonings and bbq sauce. While it's tasty, we do prefer it smoked. I'm excited to get going! Being... -
Christmas time means new first time Smoker!
Hey everyone! My wife's gift to me this year is a new smoker! We love smoked food, and we're looking forward to expanding our culinary vernacular with this primal and amazing cooking method! I live in the Tampa Bay Area with my wife and sons (5 & 1). I've been grilling about 2-3 days per week...
