    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    Moose, I used probably about 6 pounds of charcoal over the smoke. It seems that I should have just put more in to begin with. My vents were wide open, and about 4 hours in, I had finally added enough charcoal that it heated up to where it need to be.

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    Well the temp got up to 233 now. So I think I just didn't manage my charcoal well. I should have stirred the ashes sooner, and added a bit more charcoal initially. That probably would have solved my problems. Edit: also, it isn't quite as air-tight around the lid as I was expecting. There was...

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    I think the rack is on there right, looks like the picture. Don't see another way to put it on there. As far as the fuel, I put about 3/4 of a chimney's worth of briquettes in (maybe 25ish?). I probably added another dozen or so afterward to get the temperature up more. edit: just noticed my...

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    Ill have to try that next time. I think this one may finish a bit earlier than I expected. The meat is at 169 currently, and it has only been foiled for about 30 minutes. Is there a certain temp that I should check it if it gets to? I know it is done whenever you get tear away, but I don't want...

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    Been about 3 hours, so I just foiled now. The internal temp was about 215, and meat is sitting right under 160. I have the vents the whole way open. I put probably about 25-ish (not sure because i didn't count and just kept adding) briquettes in. Pan was about half full with water. I only spray...

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    I set put together my WSM yesterday. This will be my first smoke ever, so I'll keep this post updated as I go along. Enjoy the ride! The WSM was easier to put together than it looked. After it was put together, I did the seasoning. I was confused about the water pan and why it sat directly on...

    Looks delicious! My wife was a tad bit skeptical about our smoker investment as well. Lets hope I can get the same response out of her.
