Thanksgiving turkey breast
As usual with me no Q-view, but started an 8lb turkey breast on my WSM 22.5" at 6:30am. It was 8 degrees when the meat went on and an hour later it was 1 degree here in Prairie City, IA. Its back up to 4 degrees i see and the meat is moving right along. Tried something new and got a 48" tall... -
Hint of heat?
So I've smoked a few turkeys over time and have always had great results from injecting with Tony Chacerie's creole butter injection. I just got finished injecting that into an 8lb turkey breast my in laws are having me smoke for tomorrow to go with their ham for Thanksgiving. I have another... -

short probe cables or just me?
I have 2 Maverick ET-732's. Both work great. One of the best things that ever happened to me using the smoker in fact. I do have a complaint though. When I smoke meat on the top rack of my 22.5" WSM the meat probe cable is just long enough for me to set the base on an upside down bucket...- coryb

almost turkey...
I am doing well. Much reassured at this point on this turkey breast cook time too thank you very much. I'm ready to smoke this thing now! I should smoke more turkeys throughout the year. They provide a good amount of meat for a low price and when you shoot 'em full of creole butter they come... -
almost turkey...
I had similar thinking. I figure on a 12lb turkey the breast probably has to be near 8lbs or more. I could see the two thighs and drumsticks amounting to the remaining 4lbs of meat. That said I'm prone to sticking with the guess that this breast will take about 4hrs to smoke at 250. -
almost turkey...
The last several years my wife and I have hosted Thanksgiving at our place for her immediate family and I've smoked turkey and we've all enjoyed it as its the best turkey ever, right? Anyway, this year the inlaws are hosting as the rest of my wife's step brothers and sisters will be coming... -
HELP! WSM issues (billowy smoke, no flavor)
Same here. pour in about 1/2 full of lump, place 5 chunks of wood and cover with some more lump according to how much i'm smoking. To get it started about 1/2 a chimney starter of burning coals on top in the middle of the charcoal and assemble the smoker and place the meat. As for vents the... -
craptastic brisket
You know I've always read about briskets plateauing on these forums, but i've never actually had one plateau before today. I've seen it PLENTY with Boston butts, but never with a brisket until now. In any case its in the oven and i knocked the temp down to 200 even. Meat temp is at 178 as we... -
craptastic brisket
going for around 195 generally for finish. The other 1/2 dozen briskets i've done from 10-13lbs generally take about 9-10hrs to get there smoking 225-250. My plan was to attemp to keep smoker around 200 and take a little more time to cook. BUT once i almost reached my foiling temp after... -
craptastic brisket
I'm well on my way into destroying a perfectly good trimmed 10.5lb packer brisket. Got the meat on my 22.5 WSM right at 7am. By 8am had the smoker finally holding right in the range of 200 according to the lid therm. I struggled getting it up there as I have to set up in the driveway on... -
Brisket and Pork for party
Just pulled the two butts off the smoker and put them in some heavy duty foil, wrapped in a towel and into the cooler they went with the brisket. The pork will be a hit. Had I not foiled the two butts i don't know how i'd been able to get them off the smoker. they felt almost liquid lifting... -
Brisket and Pork for party
yeah, sorry about the lack of pics. i usually go into these things with the best intentions, a plan to take pics and all then you get what i had today. No pics AND get this...i pulled the brisket off after it stalled at 199-200 for an hour and half then started climbing to 203. Poked it and... -
Brisket and Pork for party
Lit up a few coals and filled the charcoal pan in my WSM this morning and put it all together with a 13.44lb Choice grade Angus brisket and two 7.5lb pork butts at 2am. Smoker hovered around 215-225 from 2am-3am so i went to bed. Got up and checked at 6am and the smoker was closer to 240-245... -
Price of Brisket
I can usually pick up a full packer at WalMart for $2.18 - $2.69 /lb. They're not the best cut of meat, but I've never seen one that i'd label as 'bad'. Last weekend i got a membership at Sam's Club after checking out the meat there. The whole packers are the same price, but stamped 'choice'... -
Rocketing through charcoal in WSM 22.5"
Conclusion: I guess was premature in my posting of problems with my WSM. Apparently I figured out how to dial the thing in perfectly or at the very least really well yesterday and finished a fantastic tasting brisket for my very first time. I got the smoker at 225 about 5am and dropped the...- coryb

Rocketing through charcoal in WSM 22.5"
Also, its only been 3.5 hours and my brisket is registering 156 degrees already in the middle of the thick part of the flat. How is this possible? Guess i'm off to check with my instant check digital. This is quite the experience.- coryb

Rocketing through charcoal in WSM 22.5"
Well now i'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm measuring 250+ on the lid gauge with all of the dampers just about closed the last 45mins. I put an analog oven thermometer on the grill grate with the meat and its measuring about 265. I closed one of the dampers completely and partially...- coryb
