    Mini WSM Chicken Quarters and Taters....hangin style for dinner!

    Doesn't the foil keep the smoke from the taters?

    Pork Butt....not sure what I got!

    I light my smoker and set it on its way to 225(ish.)  I then go inside and remove my butt from the fridge or cooler and wash the brine off with warm water.  I dry my butt off and rub in the rub.  Once the smoke hits temp, I stick temp probes in and toss it in the smoker. Practice good food...

    Looking for diamond pattern cooking grate for Big Green Egg.

    I believe that 90+% of the expanded metal cooking grates are home made.  You can buy the material at almost all home improvement type stores.

    22.5 WSM or Brinkmann Heavy Gauge Smoker with Off-Set Firebox

    After looking closer at the offset, I found that only the doors are heavier gauge metal, the rest is still the thinner stuff, so I went with a WSM!! Here it is all asembled on the deck. I decided to put wheels on it right away Looks nice sitting next to the old kettel And put to bed with...

    new to the forums. Looking to get a smoker

    I'd actually try to steer you back to the WSM. The "pros" go with offset because of the amount of meat that they smoke at one time.  Unless you are going to cater a huge party you wont ever need anything that big.

    To Marinate it or Not Marinate, this is my question :)

    Marinate ribs?  Umm...OK?   I have never soaked the ribs in sauce before cooking.   For ribs I start the smoker, rub the rub on, toss ribs in smoker.  No pre-planning required - short of getting the ribs!

    First smoker on the way

    I'd go with pulled pork.  Not as quick as chicken, but oh so gooooood.  Also dang near impossible to mess up.

    Oklahoma joe highlander temps mods

    Try placing another plate on top of the one you have on the hot side. Try both right on top of installed plate and try spacing it up about 1/4" or so with some hex nuts as spacers.

    Mustard choice

    Yellow mustard adds no / very little flavor to rubs.  I think that a spicy brown will add flavor as they are much more assertive in the flavor department.   IF you wanted to , you could use almost any viscous fluid to stick the rub to the meat. Oil would add no flavor, maple syrup may up the...

    Initial Charcoal Load???????

    I'd skip starting the charcoal in the chimney and just use one of the weber lighter cubes.  I'd also go for a mix of lump and regular.  Different kinds of charcoal have different ash amounts.  Kingsford blue bag seems to be one of the highest.  Royal Oak I've found to be lower ash.   The is no...

    22.5 WSM or Brinkmann Heavy Gauge Smoker with Off-Set Firebox

    So I've pretty much it it down to between two smokers. A large WSM or the Brinkmann Heavy Gauge Smoker with Off-Set Firebox. The WSM is a WSM, not much needs to be said there. What else needs to be said. The brinkmann has the ability to add wood/ fuel to the fire with out opening up the...
