New WSM any additional equipment needed?
I got my 18.5 in October as an anniversary gift. If I had to do it over I wouldn't change a thing. It's an awesome smoker. Also my first purchase for it was the Maverick 732. Temp probe is a necessity, everything else is just to make it easier on you. Now me, I like the easy route. So a few...- egledhill

Thanks for the link! I went on a bit of a smoker spending spree yesterday. Ordered a thermapen and found a awesome price on a BBQ guru digiQ DX2 so I scooped that up also. Can't wait til they get here!- egledhill

Clay saucer in wsm
Nice post noboundaries. I've been mulling this over for a little bit now. Here's my plan. Low temp just going to use water in the pan, high temp (chicken, turkey) gonna try the empty pan. Easiest solution I could come up with for controlling the temp, well, once it ships to the house I will be...- egledhill

Clay saucer in wsm
If I'm understanding what I've read, the water is using more heat than the clay will. I'm looking to run the wsm around 300 which I doubt I'll be able to do with water in the pan. I figured the clay would let the temp get higher. Maybe I'm wrong. Would I be better off running the smoker with the...- egledhill

Clay saucer in wsm
I'm looking into getting a clay saucer for my 18.5 wsm to keep the heat up during the cold months. I'm just not sure how they're being utilized. Do you foil it and put it in the water pan or do you take the water pan out and use the clay in its place? Seems from what I've read, a 14.25 in clay...- egledhill

3rd time with WSM
I 2nd the spare ribs. They'll get your confidence back up in your smoking game. I did them for my first smoke and they turned out awesome. It's a forgiving slab of tastiness, especially when done in the 3-2-1 method- egledhill

Freezing spare ribs?
I'm writing this from my local grocery store. Hoping for some quick input. They have spare ribs for $1.69lb. I thought this was a pretty good price, am I wrong? And can I freeze them and thaw them to smoke later? -

2nd smoke ever- Boston butt
Pulled it off a little early. I was getting hangry (anger caused hunger). Didn't pull as easily as I wanted but it was tasty. Finishing sauce added a nice touch Beans turned out great also. Learned for next time to wake my lazy butt up earlier on my days off so I'm not on a time crunch -
Bear's Absence!!
Glad to see you're getting better man, take it slow. -
2nd smoke ever- Boston butt
3 1/2 hours in and I hit the 165 mark. Wrapped it up with some left over apple cider I had in the fridge. Beans are on and the smoker is hovering in the low 240s. Butt dropped to 160 but I figure that's from taking it off, wrapping, and putting in the cold apple cider. Now, the wait... -
2nd smoke ever- Boston butt
Awesome advice. Thanks. Wife likes it tender so I guess we're back to foiling. I'm stall phase now. Sitting at 158. Figure nows a good time to catch up on the DVR and netflix shows I've been neglecting the past week. Do you foil around the probe or take it out, foil, and stick the probe in... -
2nd smoke ever- Boston butt
I'm looking for bark so no foil it is. Thanks for the heads up. Should I give it a spray down at any time? I have a mix of apple juice/apple cider vinegar. 3 hours in butts at 154 and WSM is holding in the 240s Nothing but time on my hands so I whipped up some baked beans with brown sugar... -
2nd smoke ever- Boston butt
Sweet. That gives me a little relief. I'm running a 18.5" weber smokey mountain. Temps are holding pretty good at 240 +/- 5. It hit 250 so I closed the dampers down a bit and it seems it's holding good. Foil it up around 165?
