WSM test run temp controls and advice
The problem now, after 3 hours and 15 minutes, is that the temp is dropping(under 250). I'm thinking about taking the mid section and top off and re building the fire. I'm not sure how much "smoke" I'm getting either. I'm using apple and hickory chips in an old soup can but no chunks. I do have...- hurriken

WSM test run temp controls and advice
I 'm smoking a turkey today(first smoke in my new WSM) and reading this I just realized that I completely misunderstood the minion method. I made a ring of coals and dumped the hot coals in the middle. I also missed the whole part about the vents. I watched a video on youtube....I'm wondering if...- hurriken

WSM Questions and Advice
I did receive an 18" WSM for Christmas. I rubbed it down with oil and ran a load of charcoal and apple chips wor 4 hours at 300+ degrees. I wasn't sure what to do so I out water in the pan. 1) Do you always use the water pan? Do you ever leave it out or leave it empty of water? Is it more to...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
The Turkey will be for New Years Eve. I will start reading up now however I have smoked a turkey on my old Brinkman. I will "take ownership" Christmas eve and I may assemble it and cure it over night. It's the 18 incher. I'm surprised how much bigger it is compared to my Brinkman. Any threads...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
So my wife saw me rereading this thread and asked me if a new smoker was what I really wanted. She suggested we look at Craigslist. Today we picked up a WSM for $175 brand new in the box as my Christmas present from her.. I'm stoked, I checked it out and it's all there and ready to go...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
On the WSM if I wanted to maintain 100-150 degrees could it be done? The charcoal savings would be great. I have to feed my Cook n Cajun every 3 minutes! I use that much coal in a 6-8 hour smoke. Any UDS users that can chime in? I'm also surprised that these are all vertical uprights. I was...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
I was hoping to get back to this sooner but I just have not had the time…and I knew this post would take some time! I have a few more questions. WSM: After some research this thing looks like a great smoker. It’s a little more than I was hoping to spend but it should last awhile. I have a Weber...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
To clarify, by easy I mean that I don't have to fight or wrestle to use or maintain temperature. I don't mind the normal working and stoking, that is part of the fun of this hobby. My little brinkman Cook n cajun was not too bad but it burned through coal like a dog and was hard to maintain...- hurriken

Equiptment advice please
I currently have a Cook n Cajun that is a few years old and has a rotting water pan. I have had fun and learned a lot over the past few years. Now I'm getting frustrated. I cannot control the temperature very well at all. I'm thinking about getting something else. I don't mind building or...- hurriken

Can I salvage my Salmon?
And thanks for checking in a few times SmokinAl I think your advice to take it off helped make up my mind and save the day. Salmon is kind of expensive these days! -
Can I salvage my Salmon?
The fish turned out fine. could have used more smoke but the flavor is still good. I made a half recipe of Chef Jimmies dip and it got scarfed! Good stuff.I really need a solution for heat control or a better smoker. -
Can I salvage my Salmon?
I'm thinking about using Jimmies recipe for part of it. I don't have all the ingredients (I am not going to the store!) but I can calculate/reduce the recipe and I do have capers on hand! -

Can I salvage my Salmon?
OK it's off. I let the fire die off some after the first post so the hottest piece was 143 though I think it has dropped some. Do I still treat it like Bearcarvers Recipe? (Let it sit in a plastic bowl until cool and then into the fridge?) It was on the smoker for almost two hours so it did get...
