    WSM airflow on long smokes with ash build up?

    I don't know much about WSM but don't their coal baskets have a crating where the ashes would fall through and land on the ash catcher, leaving the burning coals to keep on burning above it? and while I risk adding to the charcoal vs lump war, the only problem I have with lump coals is that...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    thought so.  what are your thoughts on Kingsford charcoal briquettes?  I have been using them lately and not seen any difference as of yet. I guess I'll go find the charcoal vs lump coals thread if there's one already.

    How I start and use my WSM....

    ok.  there have been very interesting and helpful posts here in this thread.  all have been very ideal, especially the suggestion of a brick/rock method which I have been applying to my custom 20" smoker.  I may try using the clay base rather than the water pan. now, the question I have regards...

    Slow Cooked Corned Beef VS Smoked Corned Beef

    it turned out pretty good.  not as juicy as I would have liked it.  it brings out good flavors, though.  slice it then and it'll turn out alright. does anyone have a preference on the fat cap at the top or the bottom?  I chose the bottom.

    Slow Cooked Corned Beef VS Smoked Corned Beef

    I am smoking my corned beef right now at +250-ish with some hickory chunks. beforehand,  I soaked and rinsed it 3 times in 6 hours to remove the salty content. then coated it with coarse ground black pepper and corriander.  I plan to do the Texas Crutch for an hour when the internal temp hits...

    so, there was this air compressor...

    here are the pics, Dave there are two dampers, one of which can be partially seen in the rear.  I ordered these from amazon.com and there were specifically for a 20" Weber grill.  they fit perfectly with the curvature of the bottom.  however... there was an oversight on the placement of...

    thank you and all others for the compliments!  I can't say how happy I am with this "new" toy but really am looking forward to abusing the heck out of it all over again, for a good reason!

    the door seal is a water-jet cut out of a 1/8th" steel sheet. here is a pic of the blind welds on the doors... the hinges were cut out of a heavy duty piano hinge.  I made them in a way that the doors are removable just by lifting them out of the hinges.  sidenote: the welds were just tacks...
