Finally Pulled The Trigger
I have a fantasy draft coming up where I'm smoking two 8.5lb butts. I just got my 22.5" WSM and fired it up last night. Any suggestions on how to cook the butts? Ever wrap them or spritz them? I live in Louisiana And my WSM was running pretty hot when trying to maintain 225. How do you burn your...- twobeanbbq

Info for the Winfo!
I'm definitely into sweet ribs. I'd say the perfect mix for Louisiana is sweet and spicy. People like spicy down here, but I think some sweet is key to bring out the sweetness of the pork and let it shine. I have some baby backs in my fridge ready for the WSM. I've heard of people marinating or...- twobeanbbq

Come on now Bob we need some more details lol what kind of wood did you use? Temp and time cooked? I'll tell ya man I'm just itching to get my WSM in and get that baby smoking. I've researched so much, but now I need to make it happen. I won't ask for all your secrets, but what's one ingredient...- twobeanbbq

I was on the fence about a new smoker, I would definitely get on OK Joe, but it was a couple hundred more than I wanted to spend. I love stick burners, but I smoked on a BGE and it changed my life. This is the cheaper, but not inferior alternative. More cooking space and half the price, plus it...- twobeanbbq

2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!
I have the 40 preceding this and the element barely puts out any smoke now. I can't see how they would change it that drastically. The only thing that seemed cool was maybe the 32 deg could be for cold smoking cheeses and fish, but that just doesn't seem possible. Why you do this to us, MB?- twobeanbbq

That's some great ideas! I would've never thought about that and just set it on the concrete, good call fellas. I had to pay sales tax! 53 bucks :devil: then I found out tomorrow starts the no sales tax holiday for the weekend in Louisiana. Could've saved twenty but oh well. I got a lot of items...- twobeanbbq

I've been looking at a few mods. I'm more than likely going to paint a gold pig on it and look into a sealer for the door. Or I might turn it into a black and gold R2D2. I have to have it for a little while to let go of that brand new look haha It's funny you say that, sooo many nights I've...- twobeanbbq

I used to work my butt of to get it to a certain temp and keep it there, but on my inferior sheet metal offset smoker it's impossible. Then I read a quote from Myron mixon's book that someone told him. "don't get yourself all wrapped up with trying to stay at one temp, cook the meat until its...- twobeanbbq

Oh yea I would never try to bring it tailgating. I do like that I can break it down, but I was more saying I'd like to have a shoulder smoking while I sleep then wake up and carry it in a cooler. Think I can set it and forget it for about 6ish hours?- twobeanbbq

Yea I'm mainly trying to get a smoker that doesn't need constant babysitting like my offset. We do a lot of tailgating for saints games here, which is in need of BBQ. I work nights though so when I get off I can't tend to a smoker for 6+ hours. I'd like to set my temps and wake up 6 hours later...- twobeanbbq

Gumbo Basics
Moikel, it's so funny that you say that. New Orleans has quite a few mayors with a racial comment attached to their name haha. It's always a crap shoot when it's time to elect a mayor here. Instead of trying to vote for the best candidate deserving of the job, we vote for who we think we can...- twobeanbbq

That's some excellent info right there! I've read about the minion method a few times, I'm a bit behind I guess. I haven't even made a charcoal basket for my smoker, I've just been using a late amount of lit charcoals and pour them on top of unlit. Works pretty well, but my smoker cannot keep a...- twobeanbbq

Gumbo Basics
Foam that was a great list you made there. I actually catered the mandeville seafood fest with shrimp and grits and a fresh fruit splash beverage. I was going to PRE make a roux and let it harden in the fridge to expedite cooking, but I've never made a roux before. I wound up cooking it all...- twobeanbbq

Info for the Winfo!
I'm thinking the WSM wins by a landslide! I'm just wondering what the charcoal use is like and if I could se a pork butt over night and wake up at or around the same temp like the BGE. I love the extra cooking space though on the WSM. Anymore awesome info on the WSM? I appreciate the links big time!- twobeanbbq

Char-Griller/Akorn Temperature Woes
Man, I'm so happy I saw this thread. I used a friends BGE before and it had me determined to find something similar for cheaper. I pretty much narrowed it down to the WSM, but I went to home depot and saw the Akorn. I had to look at it and reminisce about the ease of the BGE, but always wondered...- twobeanbbq

So, I'm an amateur bbqer, I would like to step my game up to competition level. I've been using inferior rigs, but have been able to put out respectable, well cooked BBQ. I have a chance for a bit of an upgrade, but my budget is around $400. I've narrowed it down to 4 and would love some input...- twobeanbbq

If you had to choose one!
I have, but don't have the tools or the know how. I'd hate to buy all the materials and then do something wrong. That would devastate me and my smoking aspirations- twobeanbbq

If you had to choose one!
That's the one I've been leaning towards. I've always been into the stick burners, but a summer and partial winter in Louisiana is unforgiving haha tending a fire every 20 minutes is rough. I cooked on a friend's BGE and it opened my eyes to the bullet style smoker. Can't afford a BGE, but also...- twobeanbbq
