    Weber Smokey Mountain vs. Kingsford charlcoal smoker.

    That's another thing I love about the 18 and forgot to mention.  Because it's a lot smaller I put it in the back of the truck often and fire it up during camping / fishing trips, days at the beach, football games etc.  I need to start taking pics of all the places my WSM and I have been!

    Weber Smokey Mountain vs. Kingsford charlcoal smoker.

    I can say the 22.5 is a huge over kill for just you.  I was in the same boat and decided to downgrade to an 18" but add MORE space then the 22 by adding a 3rd grill surface.  I picked up a ProQ Stacker so now I have 3 racks of 18 for a total of 54" of cooking space which is 10 more inches then...

    Southern Calif Smokers

    There is on in Vista coming up on 8-4, but I believe Aaron was talking about the one in Dana Point on 9-29.  There is also one in Westminster on 8-11.  I'll be judging ALL 3 events. There is also a local backyarder in Ontario on 8-11.  Not an official KCBS comp, but a good little backyarder...

    expected temperature fluctuation on a WSM?

    I was having the same temp swing problems until I got a can of pam and seasoned the WSM on a dry run.  Just spray cook spray cook until it builds up a nice amount of seasoning on the smoker.  The next smoke the WSM held at 225 for almost 6 hours without much problems at all.

    woods for smoking salmon?

    cherry and pecan?  I've never used either on anything can you describe the flavor profile.  I'm hoping to find something a bit on the sweet that is somewhat strong.  Alder is just too passive.

    New to the forum , smoking a whole chicken

    I use a WSM 18 and I actually use a full chimney and a half.  I try and keep the temps a little hotter and shoot for 275.  However the last time I did whole chix I did cook 9 of them at once.  How many are you cooking?

    Rib Racks?

    I always use them and love them.  I have the really thick ones with a none stick coating that holds up to 6 racks.  Very heavy duty and they clean up in a breeze.   I have done as many as 18 racks in my WSM 18 with a stacker.  Not sure why anyone would not want to use em unless you only had 1-2...

    meat cooking to fast

    what are you using to determine the temp of the smoker?  I found my old offset would be 20 degrees HOTTER in the location where the meat actually set over where the thermometer was placed.

    woods for smoking salmon?

    hickory wow.  I don't like a heavy flavor on salmon, but never thought of putting hickory in then pan.  I may have to try that next time, because apple is just too mild for my taste.

    Wood in 100+ degree California Heat

    I think they are saying that when you buy "fruit" woods fresh you get some of the moist sap still in the wood that enhances the flavor and burns wet and moist.  I buy my wood from a local spot that supplies wood to most of the competition guys in my area and the owner told me some of them prefer...

    Dana Point Barbecue Championship

    Does Vacuum Sealers Unlimited have a booth?  I need a few more rolls for my sealer!  On a side note I judged this comp last year (will be judging again this year) and it was one of the best run comps in the best locations you could ask for.  Tons of space in a large park with a nice view just...

    Just what do the KCBS Judges want?

    I would probably start off by taking a few classes from successful competition cooks.  It may seem like an expensive investment initially, but doing several comps and not getting in the money will be more expensive in the long run.  Then I would sign up as a judge personally and not just send...

    Help me decide

    I would say the height is about 12-16" in size.  The entire setup is going to be pretty heavy especially with food on the grate so don't worry about wind knocking it over it's a NON issue.  As far as quality I think the grates are better and the fit is a lot tighter which I like.  Some have said...

    Yoshida's Smoked Sockeye Salmon

    Looks good I usually add a lemon juice, ponzu, siracha, ginger, and cappers to my yoshida's when I do salmon.  It adds a little fresh zesty taste to go along with the sweet marinade.

    Help me decide

    I was in the same situation and I went with a 18.5", but decided to add the Pro-Q stacker that gives me an extra cooking section so now I have MORE room then the 22.5.  Since 90% of my smokes are small and at home I save a ton of money in the long run because I simply remove my Pro-Q and put it...
