    new unit?

    I ran a 22.5" WSM for my low and slow cooker for many years, absolutely loved it. I paired it with a 22.5" Weber kettle for my hot and fast cooking. It was nice since they both used the same fuel, and I could transfer the top rack from one to the other - so if I was slow smoking a prime rib, but...

    Video games?

    If you want a really funny sci-fi PC game Portal and Portal 2 are fantastic. They are puzzle based, but the sarcastic comments made by the antagonist AI that your are playing against are amazingly funny.

    Disposable or reusable pans?

    The one thing you do NOT want to do is use the wife's good baking pans in the smoker...... I speak from experience! :emoji_laughing: (but my wife now has a nice new set of steel USA baking pans)

    Pulled Pork #2

    I usually start briskets and butts between 11:00PM and Midnight, fill my hopper (20lb) to the tippy top right before going to bed. But I set my alarm for 6:00 AM, then I can pad out to the deck take a quick peak at my hopper level, then go back inside and get ready for the day. Butts usually run...

    Hit me with a nice tangy bbq sauce!

    So a great way to "make your own" (sort of) - this is one I have used for years and you can make it as tangy, spicy, or sweet as you want but it is a 1000% improvement on the base sauce. 1 Cup Sweet Baby Ray's original 1/2 Cup apple juice 1/2 Cup cider vinegar 1/4 Cup dark molasses - to start...

    GMG control boards

    As far as I know the control boards are only from GMG, there are a lot of specific components and connectors built into the boards. If you don't want to buy a new one best bet would to look for a used one or a used grill that you can scavenge one from. But no guarantee the used board is going to...

    Best Flavor pellets for Brisket

    I really like the Longhorn Blend by CookinPellets 100% hardwood mix of mesquite, cherry, and hard maple.... but plenty of mesquite in it to give it that really nice flavor.

    Perfect hard-boiled eggs - every time.

    Insta-Pot 5-5-5 method makes perfect "hard boiled" eggs every time, just put a cup of water in the bottom, set it to manual for 5 minutes, after the end of cook let it naturally release for 5 minutes, then put them in and ice bath for 5 minutes. They peel super easy, and you can stack them up...

    Anyone try making smoked salt?

    http://smokingmeatforums.com/index.php?threads/the-great-smoked-salt-experiment.125996/ This is the link that covers it all - I did a bunch of smoked kosher salt last year for Christmas presents. I hot smoked it for 6 hrs. at 250° on a sheet pan stirring every hour. I also sliced half a dozen...

    WSM 18"

    I've always used water in my pan.... figured it hasn't let me down yet. I dump my cold ash into a 5 gallon bucket lined with a trash bag, then dump and scrape my water pan into the bucket as well. Then toss it all in the trash when the bag is full, the ash soaks up the water.

    mayo?!

    Brush mayo on raw corn on the cob, sprinkle on some fresh ground pepper and Johnny's Great Cesar Garlic Parmesan seasoning, and toss it on a hot grill! Super tasty grilled corn! Johnny R.

    Ultrasonic Cleaning

    We have several big sonic tanks at my work (used to clean mechanical shaft seals) and we use a product called micro-90. The stuff is really good, but also might be a bit overkill for everyday home use. It's not the cheapest stuff out there, but we get seals that have asphalt baked onto them for...

    Just Started And Having Trouble

    You can either wrap it in foil as others suggested or ride it out unwrapped, me personally I like to ride it out unwrapped for better bark. But I know I'm gonna be running for at least 12 hrs. sometimes as long as 18 depending on the piece of meat and what it's like inside. 95% of the time I'm...

    Big Green Egg

    Keep your WSM and buy a vacuum sealer. Then do what I do - fill the WSM with meat once or twice a month, then once it's cooked vacuum seal it all in 1 lb. bags and toss them in the freezer. Then you using all the space in your WSM, but only have to fire it up once in a while when your freezer...

    Pulled Pork Tater-tot Natchos!! (say that 3 times fast)

    Yeah my goal was to go more for the flavors I would put on a pulled pork sandwich vs. the flavor of traditional nachos. Thus the BBQ sauce and pickles - it really did work quite well was like eating a cheesy open face pulled pork sandwich.

    Pulled Pork Tater-tot Natchos!! (say that 3 times fast)

    Was stumped on what to make for dinner - didn't want to make same old pulled pork sandwiches, so got a little creative. The fix-ins: Sweet Baby Rays Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce, chopped up a red onion, some Famous Dave's Original spicy pickles, and grated some mozzarella and sharp white cheddar...
