    LSG smokers - different types

    Smoking sausage on the WSM and amateur issues

    The wsm is not the right smoker for making sausage, it can be done on there it just won't come out the way you want it to. Masterbuilt electric is a good choice along with almost any vertical gas smoker. You need to raise the temperature slowly and precisely to get a consistent product

    Trouble in paradise: Dry pork ribs on a Weber Premium

    I will typically put my charcoal in the basket and use a starter cube on one end, I don't add lit coals. Also you may want to try wrapping them once your rub has set, it should retain the moisture at that point. But I have found that my ribs do cook faster on the kettle than on my smoker

    First Baby Back Ribs cook with some questions

    I started on a gas smoker like yours, you are going to need to learn just how much wood is too much. Nothing wrong with the 321 method but you also need to go by texture. Once the bark has a chance to set then you can wrap it. Wrapping also keeps it from getting "too much" smoke. You can test if...

    Need help with traditional flow offset smoker build

    The baffle plate helps to distribute the heat a little more evenly across the cook chamber, without it my guess is that there could be a 50 degree temperature difference from one side to the other

    Need help with traditional flow offset smoker build

    Your fire box is plenty bib enough, the opening in it should be at the top and the shape of the opening does not matter. The size of the opening should be approx 1/3 of the size of the firebox end panel. 6" stack is also plenty big enough. Are adding a baffle plate inside the cooking chamber...
