    New Weber 22

    You don't need to season WSM's just start smoking and you don't need a ATC unless you are not going to be around for the whole cook, it will rock steady for the most part. Get you a Maverick or ThemoWorks Smoke that is all you need.

    WSM 22 quwstion

    Silver? The inside of the smoker is painted with dark enamel just like the outside, don't worry about it just keep cooking. I don't know what Harry says as far as seasoning but Weber says all you need to do is wipe it down and start cooking. My WSM is coated black with a good 100+ cooks on it. ...

    New to Pellet Smokers -- Need Advice on which one to buy....

    Smokin Brothers Traditional 30 would fit your bill, comes with an Ortech Controller which isn't as advanced as a PID but it works well and puts out some good smoke. They are American made and built to last, they also have the SB Premier Grill 30 which has a Savannah Stoker Controller and also...

    What am I doing wrong? WSM 14.5"

    I have an 18.5 and have found if I mix wood chunks in with the charcoal and some wood chunks are exposed when I pour my full Weber Compact Chimney (holds about 25 briquettes) of ashed over coals over unlit coals and wood it takes about an 60 to 75 minutes to clean up. If I don't add wood chunks...

    Cant decide on which smoker to get.

    With the Old Country once you have established a good coal bed it needs to be fed splits about every 40 minutes to an hour. Like you said some people enjoy being more involved with the cook and think you get the best results when cooking with wood.  I have a WSM 18.5 it's been great, I did...

    New Rec-Tec not very Happy with it.

    Nah, anyone who buys an Italian Automobile or Motorcycle for that matter should know there are going to be issues. It's like putting up with that beautiful high maintenance girl friend, when things are good they're great, when not you put up with the extra maintenance until you just get tired of...

    Yoder ys 640 vs Yoder ys 1500

    The YS1500 is the closest thing as far as a pellet grill is concerned to a true stick burning offset smoker in how it cooks and results, most PG's you need to cook low and slow to get a decent smoke profile or add smoke tubes/trays or Mojo Bricks , with the YS1500 you can let it roll at 275 if...

    Can I get away with this...

    Not going to help your cause but I like the way you're thinking, I really like cooking on a gasser when doing burgers, steaks, rotisserie and I like the MAK 1 Star for indirect cooking. If you want just one unit to smoke and grill the Memphis Pro or Elite would be tops on the list. I would want...

    WSM thermometer way off?

    Mine is usually reads -30 degrees or more from grate temps so I could be really cooking at 290 and the thermo is showing 255, I use a Maverick to monitor cooking temps, the WSM thermo is worthless. I have an 18.5 I'm getting ready to sell, love how it cooks just want something with more...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    In this video he's using lump, I personally like to use briquettes or a mixture of both because of consistency not because one burns hotter than the other.  In this video he's using lump and it really doesn't matter IMO, use what you want to use.

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I don't see why you couldn't, you can email Mark Hunsaker on his website, if my WSM was a 22 instead of an 18 I'd just order a Vortex Fire Basket and be done with it. Hunsaker has one that will fit in an 18 but it's to tall for me to hang ribs in the WSM 18. I also like that Hunsaker drums are...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I think choking down a fire to lower temps creates a dirtier smoke/smoke profile, the higher the flow the better off you are.  I have a WSM as well (18.5), have a clay saucer for a diffuser for when I want to use a diffuser, a lot of times I don't, also have a Hanging Kit for hanging Ribs and...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    On the Gateway Drum you should keep the lid exhaust triangular to the intakes from what I know and I would only use the Diffuser if you are cooking on 2 grates at the same time or you just want a different smoke profile. You can also reach out to Gateway by phone or email or the Insane Can Posse...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Let the Drum run where it wants to, you just need to adjust how you cook and cook times, I used to be a low and slow guy now almost everything I cook is at 300+, If you have the hanging kit hang your ribs without the diffuser for 2hrs then wrap and lay on the top grate for 1hr, then sauce. You...
