    Done With Gassers

    Conngrats on the new WSM 22.5. Dollar for dollar it is arguably one of the best smokers out there. As already mentioned, I'd get used to running it without a controller first and learn the vent settings. Modifications are many, but gaskets at the door and at the lid are good options, as are...

    Fat side up or down brisket

    Thanks for the tips guys.

    Fat side up or down brisket

    How about the side closest to the heat source?

    Fat side up or down brisket

    Fat cap down and towards the heat source. Keeps things from drying out.

    WSM 18”

    A temperature controller in a WSM is a very good addition.

    WSM 18”

    No. That isn't true. I run mine at 250°F regularly and 225°F is hardly a problem for it.

    WSM 22" - Finally got around to some minor mods!

    I put the gasket material around the door opening as opposed to around the edges of the door itself. I have found that this works better with the stainless steel door.

    WSM 18”

    Gotta agree. I have both the 18in and a 22in. Had I bought the 22 first, I would not own the 18.

    KJ Classic or PBK22

    Another vote for the Kamado Joe.

    What charcoal/lump do you prefer?

    Jealous Devil. Second to that Kamado Joe Big Block. I've used B&B, FOGO, Royal Oak, Cowboy, But Jealous Devil IMO tops them all. Some by a long shot. I don't burn briquettes at all and haven't now for a few years.

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    Try a prime brisket and try fat cap down.

    STUFFED SHRIMP AND CHEESE GRITS (BBQ STYLE)

    Rec Teq*****

    Wow. I knew they were good, but this tears it. I damaged the lid of my practically new Rec Tec RT590 a little over a year ago, using an abrasive pad on it shortly after I got it. I could only see the damage in certain light, but it bugged me. This was a new grillI and I like for my...

    Which size Weber Smokey Mountain would be best? 18 or 22?

    A little late to this, but I have an 18 and a 22. I bought the 18 first and discovered that it was too small for what I wanted to do, which is similar to what the original poster mentioned that he was looking to do. Go with the 22in and you won't look back.

    B & B charcoal

    I have used the Char Logs. Biggest gripe is that they leave a lot of ash . I have burned them to the point to where the entire log was ash. In other words, imagine one of the logs starting out black, and then after if had burned fully, it's roughly the same size, same shape, same everything...

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    Again, a lot of this is going to come down to which features the company touts and which ones make sense to you and are important to you. If you think that a strong, heavy gauge firepot is going to be important to you, well then it may be something which sways your purchasing decision...

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    I don’t know why owners of one particular pellet grill tend to gravitate to a particular forum. I tend strongly towards a belief that customer satisfaction has a lot to do with it. One of the other well known barbecue fora seems to have a lot of satisfied MAK owners You’ll see something of...

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    Thanks. I thought I saw it at $1899. Oh, and Amazon comes up as a link in your post above as well. WSM and Camp Chef came up as links in one of my prior posts. Also look at posts #29 and #32. Links to other grills mentioned in those posts. So no, it’s not just Rec Tec, and no, this forum...

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    I don't recall if this was discussed early on in the thread, but are we comparing pellet grills in similar price ranges? Doesn't the LG900 have around a $1900.00 price tag? If so, then that's headed into MAK or Cookshack price range.

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    I would agree that were one to run both grills side by side in the same weather, at the same temps and over a period of time for the average cook, or in a test actually cooking similar items, that this would be the good way to tell the difference between which one held heat best while consuming...
