    First time using WSM this weekend

    So I did three racks of ribs and my personal feelings are nowhere near my company's feelings. They absolutely loved him raved about them, said how they were tender flavorful etc. I think they were too tender and I'm not sure I like to the rub that I used. I did the 2-2-1 method and I think...

    First time using WSM this weekend

    Yeah I guess you're right. I had seen something on YouTube about someone using that soup can and so I ended up getting one… Oh well. Yeah thanks for mentioning not letting it get too hot right off the bat. I think I was reading or someone mentioned earlier that once it gets up around 180–190 to...

    First time using WSM this weekend

    So some of you might have seen the thread I started a week or 2 ago.  My wife surprised me with a 18.5" WSM for an anniversary gift.  Put it together and it's been sitting in the garage for 2 weeks.  I've been wanting to try it out so bad but I have a full time day job and then have a landscape...

    Free pecan wood....should I get it?

    Ok. What about the seasoning part? Does it need to sit?

    Free pecan wood....should I get it?

    My wife just found someone on Facebook had a pecan tree cut down. She sent me the pic and it looks very recent. Huge pieces of the trunk have been cut into stumps about 2 feet in length. Is it worth going to get some of it for free? I imagine it needs to be seasoned like firewood before you...

    Surprised with a new WSM

    Oh yeah, got her a gift card to the spa so she can go and do one of those spa days and relax. Yeah guess j gotta see which works. Water, no water, sand......never knew something so simple could be so complicated. Like an old Ford vs Chevy debate!

    Surprised with a new WSM

    Cool, thanks for that information! A little "trial and error" I guess. Can't wait to get started. Good info about being able to reuse charcoal. Seems like using half a bag or so for ribs (4-5 hours) and a full bag for a butt (12-16 hours) sound right? Seems like that minion method is most...

    Surprised with a new WSM

    Wife got me the 18.5 inch for our anniversary. Just got into smoking about 1 year ago and had been using the webber kettle grill.  What a surprise, I'm really excited to have so much more smoking space and I'm assuming the temp is a little easier to control.  Been doing a lot of reading on this...

    Adding charcoal?

    Ooooook.......not sure where you're coming from with that but.......I've smoked for 9 hours with the snake and still had some coals left as well. This thread is about adding lump charcoal to short 1 hour smokes for chicken wings and if that was ok to add unlit coals while the meat is on the grate.

    Adding charcoal?

    No way, I do know better than to use matchlight.  The first thing I bought last summer when I got my first charcoal grill was a webber chimney starter. I was more so referring to the white startup smoke from placing some handfuls of unlit briquettes to a smoke.

    Adding charcoal?

    Awesome!  Thanks for posting, that really helps.  That's a ton of meat you have got smoking there.  Yeah, I would imagine after smoking on a webber grill that I'd be in heaven after possibly switching to a WSM.  Much less "finicky" I would imagine.

    Adding charcoal?

    Looks great!  Also looks like a little less "hassle" than me using the actual grill to do the smoking.

    Adding charcoal?

    That's great, thanks for sharing!  Never have seen the inside of one until you posted that pic. Is that a whole bag of charcoal you used in there?  Did you dump the hot coals just up near the front edge? I guess it doesn't matter where you dump them.  So what happens if you need to add more...
