    Modding my 22.5" WSM

    For ease of cleanup I have wrapped my water pan in foil as well as purchased a larger clay saucer wrapped in foil placed in the water pan. In addition to that I take a large foil party tray and bend it a little to fit in the WSM sitting on top of the water pan and this catches almost all...

    Some Concerns about Huddler

    I don't see anything to be alarmed about. Very good analogy there Jeff. They are not after any kind of personal data or up to any malicious deeds. They are just pioneering a service that collectively interacts people with manufacturers of products they might be interested in based on the data...

    where's my smoke ring

    I like Alton but the man knows nothing about preparing/eating artichokes. To get a smoke ring in a watt burner without TQ just add a briquette or two to your chip tray while smoking.

    New MES 40 failure

    Check to make sure you didn't accidentily bump the brisket or something against the thermostat getting it gunked up and distorting the reading. If not I'd say your spot on and the thermostat bit the dust. If that's the case I'd take it back to SAMS and get it replaced. They replaced mine some...

    Should I use the Minion Method tomorrow?

    Thanks, it really sucks when I'm at work because our firewall blocks almost all the pics posted on this forum so I don't get the luxury of seeing them. I'd say give it a try just to see if you like it. It is a tried and true method and the only one I use anymore.

    Newbie question..MES not smokey enough?

    Ashes. Blackened chips are nothing more than small pieces of coal. Bearcarver is spot on. From the get-go Masterbuilt has had vairous problems with the chip tray and it's ability to effectively burn chips. Due in my opinion to mass construction the chip trays do not always get close enough to...

    WSM 18.5 or 22.5? Advice please.

    Doesn't sound like you need to go bigger, but that is a judgement call for you. I went with the 22.5 and I cook for less peeps than you lol. The reason for that is mostly for ease of cleanup. Water gets rather messy but a clay saucer wrapped in foil is very easy to clean. Yes. Either way you...
