    New WSM Owner - Round #2

    Well the temp finally settled at 325 on the lid thermometer and 375 on the thermometer in the port. The bird with the internal probe hit an IT of 165 after about 90 minutes so it was definitely a faster hotter cook. I flipped the both birds skin side down and put the grate on the charcoal ring...

    New WSM Owner - Round #2

    I received my WSM on Wednesday evening and broke it in with a spatchcock chicken.  I didn't learn it was in until Wednesday evening so that entire effort was hastily arranged.  You can read about that here:  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/242527/its-here-wsm-22-5 So today I hope to improve...

    Not sure I under stand this part.  Do you mean start with all three bottom bents closed, start the charcoal, put on the cooking chamber and then open the vents slowly to let the temp climb up to my target temp? For this first cook I let everything wide open at first for a couple of hours before...

    Its here! WSM 22.5

    Well after reading about a lot of smokers I decided to get a WSM.  And with my birthday coming up the timing was right so I emailed my wife a link to the WSM 22.5. It took longer than expected and didn't make it here for my birthday but tonight it arrived. It arrived in good shape, no dings...
