    Smoking Chops tonight (q-vue included!)

    I preferred them smoked. They stayed juicier on the smoker resting in that marinade. They were on there for 2 1/2-3 hours smoking at around 250*. I smoked them with 3 dry cherry wood chunks.

    I have a WSM 18.5 and don't have a leaky smoker. I just prefer smoking with water. But in NE Ohio, I was thinking about the wet sand for smoking in winter to help hold temp.

    water pans vs sand

    I know there's varying opinions about water or sand in the water pan. Has anyone ever done both? Fill the water pan with wet sand? You'd get the benefit of heat retention with sand and the moisture of water. Never tried it, but am thinking about it. Any ideas, anyone ever do it?

    smoking again!

    After my pork butts on Monday, had to smoke something again tonight (second ever smoke).  Blew the afternoon off at work to come home and smoke a meatloaf.  Smoked it for 3 hours at about 280* until internal temp hit 160* (I know, a little hot, but I was in a hurry) But man was it juicy!!  The...
