WSM charcoal quantity
I also had the 18.5” and I’ve heard that the 22” runs a little hotter, but honestly, Exact temp is less important than consistent temp. As you get to know Your smoker you will learn where it likes to run what your estimated cook times are. Also, once you have put a few smokes through it and...- lancep

smoking wings and drumsticks this afternoon, need advice
I’d use the wsm. With an empty water pan you can easily get it up to 325-350. Is stick the drumsticks on first but with whole wings no too much earlier. Conversely, you can fill the water pan and put the wings to the center and drum on the perimeter. When they get close, remove the pan and crisp... -
What can I buy from the local grocer that’s good?
^what no boundaries said. Brats and Italian sausages are great. If your grocery has a meat counter, look there as well. Fresh andouille is great. One that I like to do, I’ve dubbed it the Cajun sausage roll, is to mince up onion, celery, and bell pepper and then roll it up in a flattened pound... -

Tips and Methods for WSM 18.5
Cinder block, a couple bricks, ceramic tile should be fine. I’d pull it and then fill the charcoal ring. If needed you could put it on the cooking grate in the middle section while you fill the ring. I’ve used the lower cook grate and coal grate for grilling many times. It will be fine. I’d say...- lancep

Pellets vs wood charcoal
As I have never used a pellet smoker, I would post your question in the pellet smoker section. I honestly have no idea on what is a good deal or what brands are good in the pellet realm.- lancep

Tips and Methods for WSM 18.5
I just used the stock. Not out of trust but just as a guideline. Mine was pretty close and my cooks were consistent so I never felt like I needed to spend any extra money on gadgets. I would get a good instant read first. I wouldn’t get caught up on exact temps and, instead, focus on a...- lancep

Tips and Methods for WSM 18.5
Not at all! But that was my preferred range for most of what I smoked and a consistent way of getting there. Like I said there’s more than one way to skin a pork shoulder. This way was just my preference for excellent, consistent results.- lancep

Tips and Methods for WSM 18.5

There is a metric ton of info and threads on them in the charcoal smoker section and since there is more than one way to smoke a cat it’s definitely worth a look. That said, here’s how I set mine up. 1) with the...- lancep

Dialing in temperature on stick smoker
So unfortunately, I had to delete a lot of pictures from my phone and don’t have any tbs pictures left. For me, I look for clear to just barely visible blue tint. Remember that smoke is gaseous fuel that you actually want to burn. That’s why you want flames. That means you’re burning the...- lancep

Mother’s Day Tenderloin and Kielbasa
Mrs P said she wanted something from the grill for her special dinner today. “You mean I have to sit outside drinking beer and pitching wood in the smoker for Mother’s Day? OK!!” Anyway, since fresh meat has been pretty hard to come by here in north Mississippi, tenderloin was what I had. No...
