    WSM 22.5" lid

    Does anyone know where I can get a new lid for my 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker? Like a dumb ass I put the lid to my WSM on top of the middle section in the back of my truck, & about an hour into a road trip back home, the wind caught it going 80 mph and threw it onto the highway. I was...

    What kind of wood is this?

    Someone in my parent's neighborhood just felled this tree, & they said I can have it if I want it. I'm thinking it's some oak variety. If you know what it is, is it any good to cook with once seasoned?

    22.5 WSM temp issues

    I ended up closing the lower dampers while leaving the top open & was able to get it down top 275, & when I put the meat in it dropped to 250 & is now cruising along at that temp.

    22.5 WSM temp issues

    I bought one of these a few weeks ago, did a couple dry runs to get the shine off the inside & smoked a bunch of chicken in it last weekend. Tonight, I'm trying to smoke a brisket and pork shoulder & lit the fire using the Soo Donut but cannot get the temperature below 290. I'm using Kingsford...

    Another Prime brisket

    Royal Oak lump & pecan logs. It was quite tasty. Love that smoke ring.

    Another Prime brisket

    Almost 3 hours in and the IT is 126. This pic made me notice that the salt is uneven, so I added some to the unsalted areas.

    Another Prime brisket

    I picked up a 13 pound Prime brisket at Costco for $3.39/pound. Started by burning pecan logs down to coals, seasoned with kosher salt & course black pepper that I cracked with a mortar and pestle & sifted out the dust using a strainer. Threw it on the pit at 250 a little over 2 hours ago &...

    13 pound Prime brisket

    It was quite tasty. One of my buddies said it was the first brisket he's ever had that didn't need any sauce. He's from Wisconsin, so I take it with a grain of salt, but he did go to one of my favorite TX BBQ joints last week that's ranked in the Top 50 nationally, so it's still a solid...

    13 pound Prime brisket

    Here's the finished product. The closest I get to doing burnt ends is just slicing the chunks off the Point that would normally be used to make burnt ends & eating them as-is. That's what I remember them being like in KC.

    13 pound Prime brisket

    Just took it off about a half hour ago. It's now in the cooler taking a nap for a few hours. I'll try to remember to post sliced pics in a bit. It definitely felt like the most tender brisket I've ever done when I took it off, so hopefully that's a good sign.
