    Questions on Smoking a Brisket?

    Shea, you say you have a bunch of hickory yourself.  Gonna ask the obvious question ... is it good and seasoned? Also, when you did your first smoke were you using wood exclusively, or were you using wood and charcoal?

    Converted my old ECB to a rotisserie

    So, I got an 18.5" WSM in Jan because my ECB was getting a bit old and I wanted the upgrade.  But, the ECB was still pretty much functional.  So, what to do with it? Well, the one thing I saved off my old gas grill that no longer worked was the rotisserie setup.  So, my buddy had a little hand...

    Kingsford charcoal on sale at Costco

    Home Depot has 2-20# bags regularly for 15.87 They recently had a sale and dropped it to around 11.  They almost always have a sale closer to Memorial Day when it is around 9 or 10.

    Any ideas on how to smoke this?

    I've never actually seen a grub before.  Do they normally get that big?  Holy sh## !

    Trout and tilapia smoked...

    I prefer the lighter smoke of apple (although I have never used cherry before).

    Very nice.  Did you do a modified 3-2-1 method, or straight 5 hours?

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    I'm using a WSM as well, so I think I will try your method on my next smoke.  You are correct in that some times my temps get too hot too fast and I have to shut down all my bottom vents for a period before opening one back up in order to regulate.  I might be better tossing on only a few lit...

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    I might have to play around with the methods a bit.  When I did some ribs recently, I put in about a 1/2 ring of unlit briquettes shoved over to one side.  I dumped a 1/2 chimney of charcoal on the other side, making sure that a few lit briquettes overlapped the unlit ones.  This gets my temps...

    22.5 WSM!!!!!

    I was like you when I recently decided to get a WSM.  I went back and forth on trying to figure out which size.  I have a family of 5 and like you don't really cook for large groups. I went with the the 18.5", and it is plenty big enough for my needs.

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    Was just gonna ask about this.  I am not using lump, so I will have to give myself a bit more room to be able to put about a 1/2-3/4 chimney's worth of lit briquettes.

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    I'll be doing my first overnight later this year.  My wife picked up a 14# brisket on sale at Wal Mart.  Rough guess is to plan for 21 hours.  I will likely start it around 8pm on a Fri night and make sure the first four hours are going good, then crash at midnight and plan on waking up around...

    Cabinet and table top for my 22.5 WSM...FRANKENSMOKE!

    I wasn't sure if the "bar" that runs across the thing in the front at the top would make it difficult to get the middle section on and off.  Sounds like the answer is "no".  Very nice.

    Target/Archer Farms/Penzeys

    Mini side bar.  They are opening a 2nd Penzey's in the Des Moines area (where I am originally from) and they only have 1 here in the St Louis area?  Grrrr.

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    Something just doesn't seem right.  Temps not getting hot enough and you are going through fuel too quickly.

    I grabbed a couple of your comments from your OP and asked a couple of questions above.  Not sure if you missed it because it didn't have your name in the quote.

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    I just got a WSM earlier this year. The WSM really doesn't need seasoning since it is ceramic. Interesting.  Mine seems very stable.  Was it sitting on the holders correctly?   I haven't had any issues getting temp up or keeping them up.  How much fuel did you add initially?

    Looks like it can be a little bit difficult getting to the bottom section to add your initial amount of coal.  Is it?
