There are a number of good ways to smoke cheese, often in cold smokers or smokers modified to generate smoke (and heat) outside of the smoker. I’ve had some success using an unmodified WSM.
Picking a cold day, and using very, very little charcoal is critical to avoid melting the cheese. I shoot...
I'm getting ready for my first KCBS competition, backyard division. I'm pretty happy with how my ribs are turning out, this past weekend was my first attempt at making the chicken pillows the judges seem to like. I cut the knuckles off both ends of the thigh bones, trimmed up the thighs and...
...cooking.
But I do make simple mods for my various cookers. For me the easy fix is using expanded metal cut to shape. For my Smoky Joe miniWSM conversion I made the entire charcoal basket out of expando. The strip I used for the side is bolted together with stainless hardware. The...
I am leaning that way as well. I currently have an 18" WSM and capacity-wise it has been good except for all but the biggest smokes I do. The Gravity 800 lists capacity at six racks of ribs, which I have done before and will do again. I have also done three pork shoulders on the 18" WSM, and...
To get 6 racks of ribs to fit, you would probably need to use one or both upper shelves. 4 full size shoulders might fit on the main cooking grate. Haven't tried to do that much as I'm mostly cooking for just the wife and I.
As said above... good for small stuff... I use mine frequently... But I also made mine into a miniWSM (weber smokey mountain)... I will say that I use it more for a grill/indirect cooking (as your planning on) than I do as an actual smoker ...
@Hamdrew - I asked myself the same question some time ago! I have been experimenting with "all wood" fire cooks in both my miniWSM and Weber 21" kettle and I have drawn a few conclusions.
Absolutely! I take golf ball to softball sized chunks of smoke wood of choice and fill my Weber chimney...
Well I switched back to charcoal about 15 years ago for my everyday smoker. In that time I've had two 18" WSM's one UDS, four home built Mini-WSM's and most recently the 14.5" WSM. I still have my propane smoker that I've had for almost 20 years now. It only gets used for jerky and cold smoking...
The MiniWSM is an awesome little smoker.. and it also can still be used a s a grill when needed ... I did the liberty to do a search for ya ... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/search/644518/?q=mini+wsm+build&o=relevance
I've built two of them to take camping ...
...my complete article on smoked cheese and butter the way I do it. This video shows my sawdust generator and the amount of smoke I use in my miniWSM smoker. I can easily fit 4 to 5 pounds of cheese in this smoker, so it's perfect for me.
In this video I actually filmed when removing the...
So its August 1. Jerry's Birthday, Rock On !
So I've got some tunes on and and I'm smoking a small bone in pork butt (about 4 lbs). following Jeff Phillps' recent suggestion of using BBQ sauce for the wetting agent to help the rub stick and have the butt fat cap down in a baking dish...
I've been smoking out of my MES 30 for a couple years now, however, it has left me wanting. Something about tending a pit of charcoal and wood versus plugging in a mini-fridge. So I broke down and bought a WSM 18.5 that comes in at the end of the week.
Now let me say, I have next to no...
...smoker are the upright drums, or UDS (ugly drum smoker) because many people make their own from scratch or a kit. I have a home made miniWSM and if I wasn't so sold on drums I'd surely have a WSM or two.
If you can cook a roast, or ribs in the oven, and grill a steak or chops or some...
Hey Thirdeye! Love the WSM tall boy! I think Ive been thru two or three of those little jewels. I also wanted to thank you guys for the discussion on air flow. I cold smoked some 1lb pork sausage chubs yesterday and at first had issues with the fire being too hot and smokey. Opening my smoker...
...gifted a few of us. The ones I have are the traditional 'V' shaped blade, but are only long enough to use on my small Big Green Egg or my MiniWSM or a campfire.
A week or two ago I got a link from another skewer lover to a US branch of COMPANY that sells similar skewers, but these are...
