    Iowa Members - Calling all Cyclones, Hawkeyes, Panthers, Bulldogs....

    Well, I grew up in IA.  And I went to Drake, so I'm a Bulldog.  But I currently live in the St Louis area.

    TEXAS STYLE BRISKET

    What about wrapping in paper first, then foil?  Will wrapping in foil defeat the benefit of wrapping in paper?

    Also, is the easiest place to buy said butcher paper at a butcher's shop?

    TEXAS STYLE BRISKET

    Thanks for the reply.  I will give it a try.  What about the answer to twoalpha's question ... Using the parchment paper does it retain the brisket juices for later use or does it leak out?

    Smoking anything for Halloween?

    Gonna do some pulled pork.  Will start tonight about midnight, then pull off tomorrow when it is done and look to eat before starting up a fire in the firepit and handing out candy for the trick-or-treaters.

    TEXAS STYLE BRISKET

    Yeah, I'm interested in hearing this answer as well.  One of the main reasons I use foil is to be able to keep the juices.  But, if the paper makes for a better bark, I might consider trying it.

    First Time with WSM

    My guess is your temp was hotter using the ECB.  That is good for getting the skin crispier, which is why it was not as crispy using the WSM. You used way too much charcoal.  Full rings are more for longer cooks, like on a brisket.

    CHILI DOGS

    Thanks for the explanation.  Figured there had to be a logical reason.  They look great, btw.

    CHILI DOGS

    Why poke the casing?  Seems like that would let juice run out.

    Deep fried turkey question. I know it's not smoking.

    This will not work as you would not account for the "air" that is inside the vac pack (ie the cavity of the bird).

    Got A Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 inch for christmas

    Congrats on the new gift and welcome to the WSM club. Yes it is true that you won't have to mess with the WSM much, and what little messing you would have to do is simply adjust the bottom vents. Yes, you should be able to use your WSM outside in the winter without any issues.

    I'm goin' in!! Seasoning an old cast iron pan.

    Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    Beginner here- questions

    dietz, how many people will you typically be cooking for?  I have a family of 5 and don't do much smoking outside of feeding them, so I went with the 18.5" and it has had plenty of room for my needs.

    WSM Mods

    Good chance that you shorten the life on the wires this way.  That happened to me with my ECB years ago.  Then I started going through the vent at the top (both the old ECB and my WSM when I upgraded) before making the mod to the WSM for this.

    Smo-Grilled Wings with Q-View.

    I love doing whole wings.  Trim off the tips though.  No one eats them and it saves a bit of room that way.
