Chuckies Times Two
Did a couple of chuckles this past weekend. By far the easiest cook yet on the WSM 22.5. Temp solid 240-260 throughout a 6 hour cook. Got IT of 200 degrees and pulled for a hour rest. Tender, juicy pulled beef with a 1/4 in smoke ring. I wish I had tried this long before this weekend. I have... -

Buddah Bath Thighs WSM
I smoked some Butter Bath Chicken thighs Saturday. WSM 22.5 held up much better, maintained temps between 220-260 through out the cook. Finished up in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Juicy, tender, bite through skin. Best.chicken I’ve done ever. Love the food this smoker produces. Thanks... -
WSM Top Vent Open 100%?
noboundries, I understand what you are sayin'. Only reason I started this thread was to find out more info on using the top vent. I am still a greenhorn to WSM technique, so I will heed your advise. Looks like I need a few more cooks to get this settled in. I'm planning on some smoked chicken...- bakerman

WSM Top Vent Open 100%?
Thanks Hamdrew, Yes this is a new WSM. I've smoked (so far), BBQ Meatloaf, Chicken Wings (twice) and the last run was 4 slabs of spare ribs. Even with all the issues I have had or created the food always turned out great or at least pretty good. I have a couple of Tri tip in the freezer that...- bakerman

WSM Top Vent Open 100%?
Great info noboundries. I did use too much charcoal in the chimney, and my probe was on the outer edge of the lower grate. So the fluctuations are understandable. The temp spike when I put the meat on was due to the air that was feeding the flame. Also I did not bury the wood chunks. I lay them...- bakerman

WSM Top Vent Open 100%?
Appreciate the feedback. Yes I was impatient, however I did wait for a full hour before putting my meat on. But as soon as I did that the temps took off, 350 and climbing! I had to add water etc. But I know now. Don't open it up for too long. After about 30 minutes above 300 it crawled back down...- bakerman

WSM Top Vent Open 100%?
I had the devil of a time last weekend getting my WSM to behave. Most of my problems were due to my newbie ( to charcoal ) attempts at maintaining a perfect temp. So after I finished the cook I started thinking about the top vent as a controller, in lieu of just using the bottom vents. I know...- bakerman

Always Check Your Hotel Room
My wife and her sister booked a room in a cheapo Motel in Daytona a few years back. Checked into the room all was fine. Went out to get some food came back, and there was a pair of mens underwear in the middle of the floor and a lone flip-flop halfway under the bed. They moved to another less...- bakerman

WSM 22" Sold out Everywhere
I had this problem a few weeks back. Walmart had them in stock and I placed the order. Never happened. Walmart tried to charge my Credit Card 20 times. Declined it 20 times. Tried again later in the same day and the price jumped $200 bucks plus $350 for delivery. I can't make this up. Gave up on...- bakerman

Question about cooking 4 Rack Spare Ribs on WSM 22.5
Happy July 4th (belated), I smoked some ribs on my WSM 22.5 this past 4th. I'm still learning a lot about this cooker so bear with me. Loaded up 2/3rds full with Kingsford Blue and a small pile of leftover lump charcoal ( 1st mistake). Filled water pan. Fired up chimney and placed hot coals...
