    Rain be damned, the smoke must go on!

    A graduation party for a friend who just finished law school. There is an estimated 20-25 people. I'm bringing 4 racks of baby backs with Jeff's rub, no foil, 230°, and after 6 hours I'm just about ready to pull them off (going to test first.) This is just my third smoke so I'm really excited to...

    WSM Melting?

    I would also agree that the Soo method should have been more descriptive about the foil. I've since read on this forum that a lot of people use sand instead of water which I'll be doing today for my rib cook.

    WSM Melting?

    Thanks Duke! I brought it up to about 250 for an hour, then down to 230F, then put 24 chicken thighs in it! They came out perfect and now I can say I have smoked some chicken! There is a nice thin coat of seasoning now, the first of many to come. Here is the thread on the chicken cook...

    First WSM trial with chicken

    This is my first attempt at cooking on the WSM. Things went pretty smooth, but for anyone whose read my previous posts knows that my journey to here has been anything but smooth.  I used Jeff's pulled chicken instructions and did everything but the pull, we were so hungry by the end we decided...

    WSM Melting?

    I took it directly to the orange box store and got the exchange done.

    WSM Melting?

    I definitely learned a few lessons the hard/dumbest way possible. The new one is in hand now and I'll be taking good care of it.

    WSM Melting?

    With how warped the drum is now there is no way that closing the vents is going to kill the fire. I'll just have to wait until it's all burned up then I'm going to take it back where I bought it and see if I can get an exchange.

    WSM Melting?

    I'll have to wait until it cools down before I can inspect it but I'm thinking the coating has been damaged where the lid meets the middle drum. EDIT: It's definitely damaged, the middle drum is warped and there is a massive oval gap on one side.

    WSM Melting?

    The black goo was before putting the bacon on. The grease is dripping onto foil which was wrapped over the top of the pan. I'm going to take the bacon off now anyhow. The inside of the entire smoker is wet, but it doesn't seem like there is a potential for a grease fire. I made a mistake by...

    WSM Melting?

    Kingston blue and 6 pecan chunks, with everything in there was still room before it hit the top of the ring. I closed the bottom two vents now and it's down around 300. Covered the top grill with bacon. The grill trays are all a grayish color and the front opening panel warped a bit.

    WSM Melting?

    I'm freaking out a bit here. Trying to do a seasoning on my new 18.5" WSM and I read to cover the water bowl in foil and just let it run for a few hours. So I did that, went to run a few errands and came back to find that in just an hour I had to pry the lid off because it's melting! There are...
