    pork butt sticks to cooking grate when taking it off the smoker??

    that's why i would only put it in the pan after the smoke penetrates. supposedly smoke is done getting into the meat after 150 degrees. so i figure put the butt in the pan after it has been on the smoker bare for a few hours.

    is there a less expensive alternative to a stumps?

    i love the idea of a stumps smoker with the gravity feed and insulation and all but i cannot justify thousands of dollars. is there anything similar for less?

    pork butt sticks to cooking grate when taking it off the smoker??

    Question(s) on the 3-2-1

    I can agree with that. if it is experimental then have at it! just play with the times a bit. the first few hours is for the smoke penetration then the foil time acts as convection and really softens up the meat lastly you throw it back on to try and get a bark. i've also heard people say that...

    Question(s) on the 3-2-1

    no need for foil. i have no issues whatsoever running water in my pan and the smoker at 240, no foil. baby backs take 4-5 hours depending on weight.

    WSM airflow on long smokes with ash build up?

    yes but on a long enough smoke the ash builds up in the bowl and will actually come up to the bottom of the grate and start smothering the fire. i have had the same experience with lump you get more gravel size pieces then actual lump pieces.

    wood supply? for us suburban people?

    i want to get a stick burner but i am worried about wood supply also from my understanding you have to feed a stick burner every 45 minutes to an hour?

    WSM airflow on long smokes with ash build up?

    i've used royal oak before and my only issue with it is that it burns so fast. you have to add so much fuel to it for a long smoke. i think i may start not using water in the pan. and running a little hotter to cut time down a bit.
