    Uh oh. I think the cult of WSM is calling. :)

    Uh oh. I think the cult of WSM is calling. :)

    Hey thanks all for the feedback. Did a lot of reading and am pretty stoked to pick one up. I'd love to keep my propane smoker but part of the deal with my wife was to sell that one and use the cash to offset the WSM purchase.  Probably going for the 18.5 version since it looks more than...

    Uh oh. I think the cult of WSM is calling. :)

    So I got a Smoke Hollow propane smoker about 2 years ago. Love love love it.  Works flawlessly and I've had some great success with it. Well yesterday at a company tailgate party some coworkers had WSM's and I was asking questions and watching them and I found out that using the WSM is really...

    Now with Qview! Great success. Smoked it with oak chunks and hickory chips. Turned out awesome. I used a simple rub 'southern rub' or something like that. Few more pics here -->  http://www.flickr.com/photos/allenv/sets/72157624188268911/ Mmmm...it was good too!

    Calling all Smoke Hollow owners!

    Hey question for everyone, My smoker runs about 250-275. I can't get it to stay at 225. This is with the gas on low and the damper wide-open. Any ideas/thoughts on how to lower the temperature?

    Getting ready to smoke my 1st butt this weekend. --- Now with QVIEW! :)

    **Scroll down for QVIEW pics** So I've only done ribs and such. Had a blast. I'm going to try to smoke a small butt this weekend (thinking about 5 lbs or so). I read the pork sticky so I'm pretty confident all will go well. Any thoughts on a simple rub? I don't have anything at home but was...

    Boneless chicken breasts ok?

    Got a few boneless chicken breasts that I'm thinking of throwing on the smoker tomorrow along with a 1/2 rack of ribs. Should there be any issues with the chicken? Going to rub it in the morning and smoke till internal is 165 degrees. Oh, just read another thread about brining. I've never done...

    Great customer service from Smoke Hollow!

    Great post on Smoke Hollow. I have a 34" smoker and love it. The door thermo is about 50 degrees off though. :( So not sure if they'll replace it. My regulator seems to be doing ok. I smoked ribs this past weekend and it held a nice 230-240 all 6 hours. Half that time with the damper closed...

    To Rub or Not to Rub?

    I had it at the entrance of the garage. The damper was outside and the light breeze pulled 95% of the smoke out of the garage so it wasn't an issue. I did enjoy the garage setup cause I was able to pull up a chair and read a good bit of history book I'm trying to finish up. I did smoke 1 1/2...

    To Rub or Not to Rub?

    Well, I did 3 racks today. 1 1/2 with my normal Coach's Low Country Rub and 1 1/2 with just salt, pepper and some brown sugar. Let them marinate all night and chucked them in at noon today. Smoker kept a steady 230-240 for the whole 6 hours which was awesome. Did the 2-2-1 technique and here...

    To Rub or Not to Rub?

    Hi all, Getting ready to do 3 racks of baby backs this Saturday for the family. I've done ribs twice before and have used a nice rub (Coach's Low Country rub). It does give a slight kick to the ribs (which I like). Here's my question - I was thinking of doing a rack or so without any rub...

    My First Smoker - Smoke Hollow 34 LP

    Niiiiceeee. I have a Smoke Hollow as well (smaller version..the 30") and love it. In fact today I smoked my 1st batch of babyback ribs and a chicken. Man, turned out a yummy. Temps stayed about 250 in the smoker with the damper fully open. Not sure how I can lower it from there. Worked well...

    Do you clean your smoker?

    I do foil the water pan and makes cleanup there much easier. I'll probably start scrubbing the grill racks now..hehe :D Don't want any extra critters munching on anything! Thanks for all the input.

    Do you clean your smoker?

    Well, got a question and not sure what's the best method. Do you clean your smoker after a smoke? I've smoked a few fatties and haven't cleaned out the smoker at all (leave the burnt/crips stuff on the grill, etc). I figure it adds seasoning to the next batch... But is that bad? Should I be...

So does anyone know if there are any competitions/festivals/gatherings in the Upstate South Carolina area coming in 2010? I...
