    First smoke in a new Weber One-Touch 22.5 - Two slabs of ribs

    Here's the wings, just a smile brine and smoke. Crisped the skins a bit on the old gas grill: And the ribs after spritzing with an apple juice/brown sugar mix for the last hour an a half, ready to come off the grill:

    First smoke in a new Weber One-Touch 22.5 - Two slabs of ribs

    I've had a MES for several years, but have wanted to try it old school for a while. I bought a Weber kettle for the Fourth of July weekend, and broke it in by grilling some chicken, steaks and assorted sides over the past week. Last night I set up a trial smoke to see how it was going to go...

    My first fatties

    Both were good, but I strongly preferred the pork sausage. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't like sausage, thus the beef variety. Next time, maybe just ground pork...

    New to smoking, hoping for some equipment advice

    You can see through the window if you clean it after every smoke. I just don't think it's worth the effort. And after your first couple of smokes, I'm guessing you probably wouldn't use it any more either.  There are better ways to spend the extra $100, IMO. Get a Maverick thermometer and AMNPS...

    New to smoking, hoping for some equipment advice

    Kevin, The smoker will output some smoke, but certainly less than an electric grill. If you invite the neighbors for a nice snack, they're less likely to complain. You don't need the door. The door on my MES40 is so covered with smoke residue that it's impossible to see through. Yeah, I could...

    That looks like something to try, Dave. I just put some rub on mine and tossed 'em in the smoker, but the injection sounds like a great idea.

    Smoking in Macon MO

    Dave, the wings were tasty. I left them in a little too long, so the texture was what I'd describe as a bit "powdery" but they were still dang good. This was my first try at wings, so still a bit to learn, but I think they're going to become a staple. I also just pulled a pork tenderloin and...
