    WSM 14.5 curb rescue (pic heavy thread)

    Thanks for the kind words and advice, @tbrtt1. I can see how this could get addictive. I’ve already been looking for old water heaters or air compressor tanks to build an offset smoker. I had completely forgotten about using a cooking spray to season. In the Jan/Feb 1999 issue of Home Shop...

    First smoke experiment

    Thanks, @Gonna Smoke. These were just over $5.00 so I didn't have much to lose. I'm already thinking of cooking up a big pot of beans and putting one of these in for seasoning.

    First smoke experiment

    One thing I like about being a beginner is that one doesn't have preconceived notions about what is and isn't possible. In that vein, I picked up four pig's feet this morning in order to fiddle with the vent settings on my WSM 14.5. If I ruined something, I wouldn't feel bad about it. I didn't...

    WSM 14.5 curb rescue (pic heavy thread)

    Hello, a newbie smoker from South Alabama here. About a month ago, I was out for a walk and noticed a huge debris pile in front a house that was being cleaned out. Looking through the pile (always looking to repurpose stuff), I found a nearly-intact WSM 14.5. The door was missing but everything...

    Greeting from South Alabama! I'm not new to cooking or grilling, but definitely to smoking. A long-time Weber kettle grill user, I've dabbled a bit in smoking on the kettle grill but never used a proper smoker. I'd like to learn more about this art from those who have tons more experience with...
