    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    I usually cook for 4 also but we have family gatherings of 10 people at times and that number can go up in a few more years. Great-grandkids could come along in not too many more years! Man, I'm getting old. :)

    Now we're cooking!

    Got it yesterday! Didn't take as long as I expected. I was ready though. It's in the shed with the table, lawn chair, and other items. Nice!

    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    Got my Yoder Loaded Wichita yesterday. It's not too big like I thought it might be. It even got the nod from my better half as being the right choice for size. It's plenty for what I need plus a little bit more. I think I would have been disappointed with the size of the Cheyenne but not the...

    Lang 36 patio/YoderCheyenne

    I ended up cancelling my order for the Cheyenne.  Youtube videos made it look a bit too small.  I've recently ordered the loaded Wichita which looks considerably too large but there is not a Yoder smoker in between those two sizes. Should be here after several weeks.

    Best way to hook chickens to hang in smoker?

    I just found a youtube video where the guy cooked chicken halves by hooking them through the wing skin and breast.  I was trying to keep them whole and not go through the breast but I'll try it his way next time.

    Best way to hook chickens to hang in smoker?

    Where do people usually hook the birds? I hooked through the back side of the whole birds, once at each opening. Should I go through the upper opening through a breast?

    Best way to hook chickens to hang in smoker?

    Thud! ........ Thud! The sound of chickens falling onto hot charcoal in the smoker. Hooked them another way. Thud! ......  Thud! Finished them in the kitchen oven.  They were excellent except for the charcoal grit on some of the skin that I peeled right off. Hooks probably aren't going to...

    Best way to hook chickens to hang in smoker?

    I have the WSM, the Weber expandable rack, and Pit Barrel Cooker hooks. What is the best way to hook the chickens to hang for smoking? Should I cut them into halves or do them whole? Thanks, Dan

    Now we're cooking!

    Well, in about 6 to 8 weeks when my stick burner gets here I'll be cooking on it (along with my WSM).  I'll need to line up some wood for it. I've been going back and forth about this for nearly a year and could no longer talk myself out of the purchase.  I decided to quit delaying the...

    Weber Kettel or WSM??

    I have both in 22.5".  Go with the WSM.  No doubt in my mind.  It can do it all. Some people think you can only smoke on the WSM but that's not true.  It's an excellent smoker but if you remove the lid and middle section you can use the top grill on the bottom section after you've build your...

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

    Never mind.

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

    Wow!  Good thread.  All sorts of opinions and the logic behind them. Now for my $0.02 worth. Sand would only act as a mass to reduce temperature fluctuations whether above or below 212*.  If my WSM got up to 275* with a water pan full of sand then it would tend to keep the temperature at...

    What type of smoker should I get for smoking cheeses?

    I'll smoke the ribs in the WSM the usual way without the AMNPS.  Just making the point that I have some other toys coming soon.

    What type of smoker should I get for smoking cheeses?

    I use my smoker in a 30' x 50' shed so no sunlight will be hitting it and I can keep overhead doors and windows open.  Should be cool enough during the day right now in Iowa. Can hardly wait for the AMNPS to arrive.  I'll need to do some cheese shopping. :) I might buy some ribs too.  I'm...

    What type of smoker should I get for smoking cheeses?

    Will the WSM and AMNPS work together well enough to smoke cheeses?  With no charcoal and some ice cubes in the water pan, if needed, I would think it should stay cool enough.  Will the AMNPS create enough smoke?  My hunch is that it will. I can put the burning AMNPS on the empty charcoal grate...

    What type of smoker should I get for smoking cheeses?

    Thanks Dave. I just placed an order for an AMNPS.  Seems a bit easier than a soldering iron method.  I'll grab a cardboard box and start experimenting.
