    Fritz's mini WSM build

    Thanks. I'll post a picture once I decide what I want to put on it.  I've got some ideas, but haven't finalized yet.

    Looks great.  I used mine for the first time today.

    The smoke was a success.  Here's a shot of the fatties.  I kept the temperature around 225F and cooked it until the internal temps were 165F.  This took about 2 hours 15 minutes.  I was very happy with how they turned out.  There are a couple of things that I learned.  First is that the clay...

    Questions for Mini-WSM owners

    I went with the silver.  The main reason is I will be using this as a grill when camping as well as smoking at home.  I will likely do the mod to add the side vents.

    Well, my first smoke is under way. It's 29F outside and fairly windy.  I set up in the car port.   I was surprised to see how much moisture condenses in the lid. I have no idea how long the coals will hold, so I put a full chimney of coals in the basket.  It took more than a half hour to...

    I'll swing by HD in the morning to see if the one in this area carries chunks.

    I'm not sure where I'd get chunks.  I can get the chips from Bass Pro.  Any suggestions on where to find chunks? I have quite a few fruit trees, but they aren't very big yet so I won't be able to get any from them yet.  But in the future I'll have plenty of apple, pear, peach, etc.

    I'll be doing 2 fatties this weekend.  One will be ground beef, provalone and spinach.  The other is ground beef, sauteed onions and peppers and some kind of cheese.  I picked up some hickory and some cherry chips at Bass Pro.  Do I soak these or anything like that?  From what I've seen, I...

    first time attempting one need a little help

    Glad to see this thread.  I'm attempting my first one this weekend as well.  I won't be doing the same recipe.

    Yes, I mean seasoning it.  I season my cast iron, but there's nothing cast iron in my smoker.

    I've seen it mentioned in other threads that they burned in their smoker.  Is there an actual need to do a burn in.  Or is it just the wording of doing the first smoke?

    Ok, thanks for that info.  Putting that hole in it isn't a show stopper. Still trying to figure out what the first smoke is going to be.  I'm kind of leaning towards a fattie.

    Thanks for the info.  I'll see if the local Ace has those.  Keith, if I can't come up with the other hardware, I'll look at cutting the notch.  Right now I like the looks of the port instead.

    Where do you find those?  What are they called?

    Fritz's mini WSM build

    So the notch is in the pot or the lid?   I couldn't make the stop at Bass pro today, I was running late.   Anyone have any suggestions on a good first smoke?

    After looking though the other threads and with Case's reply, I went ahead and put the top rack at 4" below the rim of the pot.  I can't find the lamp repair things in the house, so I'll have to do something differently or get another set of those. I'll also have to stop by Bass Pro on the way...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
