    WSM 18.5 temp control.

    For what it's worth, I have never touched the top vent on either of mine

    WSM 18.5 temp control.

    These guys obviously know what they are talking about. The more you use it the better, all that smoky goodness builds up and will help seal the smoker. My 18.5 is very low maintenance once it settles in. I don't use anything in my pan anymore either, just foil it. Enjoy that WSM!

    1st time with Pop's brine

    Bacon turned out great. Not too salty at all.

    1st time with Pop's brine

    All good on the cure. I will try the lo salt one with the belly I have in the freezer! About the same salt, but a lot less sugar. Thanks for the info!

    Slot Mod

    I have a notch on my 22.5 and the grommet mod above on my 18.5. Both work great.

    1st time with Pop's brine

    My first go, I have only done the dry cure previously. Would that be considered lo salt? Or is there another recipe I missed? Thanks.

    Good point! That stuff will get devoured with or without smoke.

    Your timing should be about the same regardless of number of butts. I have never held one for 7 hours, I think 4 is the max I have done. Do you have an amnps? How are you going to get smoke if out playing golf? Good luck and enjoy your trip!

    I plan on 1.5 hours when I cook at 250, sometimes it's less sometimes it's more. Just depends on the piece. Any chance you could cook and pull ahead of time and reheat when on your trip?
