    First smoke in my WSM 18.5, q-view included

    with mine, I put an old round coffe container in the middle of my rack, then pour coals around that. Pile on some chunks and when the chimney is ready I pull the coffee thingy out which leaves me a whole. In which goes the chimney. Close her up and smoke away. Temps could have been affected by...

    why 225? a rookies question.

    In my head, I believe that low temps slow time table gives the meat more time to soak up all the smoke as well as break down the meat. I have found a taste difference doing it hot and fast. Even though Mr Nixon does it and wins, its just not for me. Slow down and grilllllllllllllllllllllll M

    Best container for brining?

    One can also run down to places such as sams, wally world, local restaurants etc..and ask them for some old food grade 5 gallon buckets.  I have some that had frosting, pickles etc in them. Most come with lids to which is a good thing since  you might need to add ice to the water to keep the...

    First time spare ribs (trimmed) on brand new WSM 22.5 (Q VIEW!)

    I LOVE my WSM. Its a great unit I must say. Yours will get better as you get her seasoned -*and so forth. I do not see one so I will comment that you need a thermometer as well. My dome one actually worked pretty good the first few smokes, but as time went goes on, it takes it a while to move up...
