    Advice for WSM newbie

    Quick thanks for the advice. Did some baby backs this past weekend. No water in pan and packed the lump in pretty tight. The WSM hung in solid at 275-ish (was a little pressed for time) for 3+ hours despite it being very windy. End product was great and it was nice not to have to constantly...

    Advice for WSM newbie

    Thanks For the tips sailor. Would the use of a water pan even out the big swings in temp by acting like a heat sink? Maybe I need to do a couple of seasoning runs. I wasn't patient enough to do more than the high heat burn. Too eager to cook something to eat...

    New Hobby

    Hi all, Just thought I'd introduce myself. Bought myself a Father's Day present this year - wsm 18.5" - and have found myself a new hobby. I've had a kettle for over 20 years and finally decided to expand my horizons. I'm 42 and live in MA. Looking forward to smoking some meat, watching the...

    Should I chuck the brisket??

    Hi all, Doing my first overnight brisket and have a food safety question. I have read the prior posts and the usda guidelines but (because I am paranoid about food safety), I thought I would poll the wisdom of the group. So here it is: Doing a 7lb flat trial run  - just for my wife and kids...
