For me it depends on the cut. I do brisket and pork butts and chicken at 275 to 325 and am happy with the quality as well as the savings in time. The most frequent cut of meat I do are country ribs and I do them at 225 to 250 since they are prone to dry out and I have a little more leeway at...
I have purchased several WSM's for home and work and had some problems. I called Weber's customer service.and was promptly shipped replacement parts that fixed the issues. It would be nice if their quality control was better, but at least they fix any problems that may arise. A call to customer...
I ordered 2 22.5's for work and both arrived damaged. I called customer service, they were easy to deal with and promptly sent out replacement parts. You'll love your WSM.
Katie, I do boneless country style ribs all the time. Where I live they are actually cut from a Boston Butt. They can dry out so here is my method. Apply rub and smoke at 250 for 2 hours. Move to a covered pan with a rack in the bottom. Put apple juice in the bottom. At this time I baste using...
The multi year drought in Texas and other parts of the Southern Plains is what has caused the beef shortage. Ranchers had to sell their breeding animals which can lead to shortages for several years.
I routinely run my 18.5 at 300 to 325 with a foiled clay saucer sitting in the water pan. When I want to smoke at a lower temp I use water. I also use it during the winter months for all temp smokes.
Finish temp is a matter of personal preference, if you want slice you will want to go lower. Foil will work fine. I started out with foil pans covered with foil but now use a porcelain roaster. During the covered phase I will stack them in the pan 2 or 3 deep in the pan, it doesn't seem to matter.
I make them all the time on a WSM. In my experience they can dry out if left uncovered the full time. I leave them in the smoke at 225 to 250 for 2 hrs. then put them in a covered pan, on a rack with some apple juice in the bottom. I baste with butter with a little apple juice, vinegar and...
Desert fish, as in all things concerning smoking opinions vary. Personally I didn't notice any manufacturing residue on my 18.5, so I just went ahead and smoked some country ribs. They tasted great so I'm in the fire it up and start smoking school. Some folks fire it up, run it hot, then wait a...
I routinely smoke my butts at 300 to 325. I place them in a covered pan with apple juice in the bottom when the IT reaches 165 to 170. The butts typically reach the 205 finished IT in less than 1 hour per pound. Butts work well for this hot and fast technique because of their abundant internal fat.
Cold weather and windy conditions can up coal consumption dramatically. One thing you can do is put less water in the pan or use a clay flower pot saucer in place of the water. It takes a lot of Btu's to boil all that water
