Got A Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 inch for christmas
The WSM is darn near bullet proof. I'm up in northern Iowa so I see the same temp swings that you do. I smoked a turkey breast on my WSM 18.5", just like you have, on Christmas eve in 5 degree weather. My smoker was holding right at 289 (per my Maverick Therm, get one, you'll want it), for...- heyer5

Turkey Breast inquiry
Do I need to boil the brine and let it cool before I put the turkey in it, or can I just mix the seasonings up and dump the turkey breast in? -

First Brisket with Q-Vue
Noted! We don't see much Southern Tier in Iowa, heck, I'm not sure they even distribute here. I have seen it in MN though... -
First Brisket with Q-Vue
I thought it was decent for a Linny's, which I have pretty much sworn off. I've had oddles of home brew and craft beer and they just don't seem to have the same quality of beers that I seem to like. I still haven't had a good IPA from them, but I was surprised by the Porter. I was expecting... -
First Brisket with Q-Vue
That looks amazing! Oh, I'm not a huge Linny's (beer) fan, but that Snowdrift Porter isn't terrible! -

Top Shot BBQ / Show piece rig-competion-SMF build
The clear smoker would be just plan neat. That's my vote. Everyone here seems to have the ins and outs of it figured out for you already! Heck, it'd probably be the most unique smoker around and a GREAT way to make a name for yourself!- heyer5

Turkey Breast inquiry
So, I've been given two different brine recipes. One with curing salt, one without. Which way to go is the question! -

A clear smoker would be awesome! I wonder how well you could get it to hold heat though!- heyer5

Top Shot BBQ / Show piece rig-competion-SMF build
I'm in! I've got a 300 gallon tank laying around that we are going to build at some point. Besides my wife having our first bun in the oven, I've got a basement and a shed to finish, along with the smoker. Gonna be a busy 3 months!- heyer5

Turkey Breast inquiry
Thank you for the replies and the brine recipe! I have yet to dunk anything in a brine, but I will be on this. We picked up one 6.8 lb breast, which according to the time calculations you guys listed, will run roughly 3 hours. I'll probably try to keep the smoker around 260-275, my usual... -
Turkey Breast inquiry
Thank you for the quick reply Ryan! I have no problem using all three woods, actually, that sounds like quite the idea! I don't except it to be a terribly long smoke, but I don't want to have it get done late, have a 20 minute drive to where supper is, and then end up being late for church... -
Turkey Breast inquiry
Alright guys & gals, my mother just ran by me that she might want me to smoke a turkey breast, enough to feed 8, on Christmas Eve. I did the search function first and saw some great looking food but I didn't really see any that gave me a time frame on how long the smokes lasted. Yes, I know... -
1st butts in my WSM
That looks real, real good! The WSM is usually pretty easy to handle. The nice part with smoking pulled pork is that they can handle the temp swings very, very easily. Heck, I run my WSM at 275 when I'm smoking butts, cuts down on the time and it turns out a solid product! Nice smoke! -

Roast Beef - Sliced...
The bad part is that any meat that she has is supposed to be cooked well done. I'm wondering if I can smoke the roast until 140 IT, cut in half, place my half in the fridge, and hers back on the smoker to continue cooking? Sounds like it might work... -
Roast Beef - Sliced...
You are correct, it's for cold "cut", not cold meat. Sliced roast beef here I come! Now, to find time to do it between work and then family stuff this coming weekend. Hmm....
