    WSM 18”

    I love mine. I put my pork butts on at 9- 10 at night and get sleep without worry. It's not a necessity for sure but it's nice at my age!

    WSM 18”

    What he said. As long as you don't start it with to much fire. Kind of like learning to start your vehicle to get the ice off of it. You learn your smoker with each use. Each has a personality. You learn what it likes and more importantly what it doesn't lol.

    UDS w/BBQ Guru Controller

    I use the cyberq on my wsm and love it. The way it works is that the more air that you give the fire, the hotter it gets. As long as the fan has control of the air, then your good. The wsm has three air inlets. I have gaskets on the door and top to keep outside air from entering. I...

    WSM 18”

    I have the 14, 18 and 22. Bought the 22 first with cyberq fan. I would go 22 with fan to start again. Fan is not required but then I get to sleep with no worries. As for adding charcoal, i have a piece of sheet metal bent in a v shape that I stick in the door and use as a slide to put...

    Please help. Pork butt safety question

    Thermometer is accurate. That was my first thought so i added a second one and stuck a thermapen in to check also. All 3 were within 5 degrees. I felt for sure that was the issue. It did level out about 12:45. I just wasn't sure if it took them from 7:30 to 12:45 to get above 126 on the...

    Please help. Pork butt safety question

    I have never had a cook go this way. As best I have determined, the pork butt must have been partially frozen. So I am smoking 6 pork butts about 8lbs each on my wsm 22. The butts were frozen so i moved them to the fridge on Monday night. I believe they were thawed by last night. I started...

    Cyberq overshoots temp towards end of cook

    How are you positioning your slide damper at the fan? I found that it still blows even at temperature to keep embers going. If the damper is open to much, that will cause exactly what you're saying. I learned this the hard way.

    Careful with overnight smokes!

    I have my cooking shed away from the house just in case something happens. It would be bad if it burnt down but much worse if it caught my house or vehicles on fire.
