    First Poultry Smoke in MES

    Sport - looks awesome!  Points for sure - read this (and many others) before I smoked my first 3 chickens today in my WSM.

    Alberta Disaster

    Duke - good to see you are out and safe.  God bless those who lost everything, their jobs, or any semblance of their normal life.  My brother, most of my uncles, and cousins are all pipe insulators, and have been out to Fort Mac many times in the distant and recent past, and one cousin was there...

    Meco (5031?) Please Help!

    Sounds like a great learning experience.  If you are committed to keeping it, then try to start a log of the temps and how the damper and vents were set. The beer always makes things better! Cheers!

    Meco (5031?) Please Help!

    I debated this very smoker, and after asking here, went with the WSM 18.5. Out of the box - from what I've read, the only out of the box item on the WSM that you may have to address is the thermometer.  It runs hotter than what the thermometer shows.  But the ease of getting the vents to a...

    Turkey Breast Q-view

    Nice looking smoke, Keith.  Hoping to brine some turkey breasts and smoke them in the next month… still getting used to my WSM, though.

    First Smoke on New WSM

    Thanks Damon, Al, Bassmaster - already got my eye out for new thermometers!  Need one for the top and one for the middle rack. I'm sure I'll nail this… lots of great help here. Cheers!

    Firing it up in the Big Smoke

    Nice work - I'm just east of the big smoke in Ajax.  Just picked up a new Weber Smokey Mountain, and did my first smoke in the "Big Smoke" myself yesterday. Welcome aboard!

    First Smoke on New WSM

    Thanks SF - I'll keep at it.  I read about trusting the stock thermometer issues, I just wanted to get something on and done so someone in the house knew it wasn't just a new toy! I'm very happy with the WSM and the way it held the temp.

    First Smoke on New WSM

    Richie - no pics of the wrap, unfortunately.  The wrap only had the ribs and apple juice as per the recipe.  And I realized part way through, my ribs were not spares, as the recipe called for… like i said I learned a lot - the temp, cut of meat, the time.  Only one way to get better - get back...

    CSR's in the Can

    That looks super tasty, DS!  Not a fan of brussels sprouts myself, but I hear if you caramelize them, they are less bitter and mild… gonna have to try them. Cheers!

    First Smoke on New WSM

    Well - I seasoned the WSM Saturday, then had to get some meat on 'er Sunday.  Picked up a few racks of baby back ribs, and one rack of side rid (they were not the best cuts I've seen by far…). I used the 3-2-1 method as outlined in Jeff's book, using the Big Bald BBQ Rub from the book as well...
