Looking good. I can't sleep I am so excited to see your updates (ha ha).
Just kidding. Youngest kid not feeling to well (stupid flu...) so I am kind of up.
Your WSM looks great. I just got one myself, I am a very rookie smoker - have had it for about 3 weeks, have done 4 things on it so...
My usual answer would be "get the 22.5" but after reading your post above and some of the subsequent ones, I think the 18.5 is more than enough for you. heck i would argue the 14.5 might be just fine but I would like the little bit of extra room the 18.5 would give you.
my opinion is get the...
I have three kids. Oldest and youngest both have peanut and tree nut allergies (they actually are separate things). I had the exact same questions and have seen conflicting answers.
Due to this I personally am not using pecan wood despite how many people love it. I think there are plenty of...
wow seems like a lot of Columbus / Ohio folks joining lately. awesome. Pelee - fyi I am a Central OH guy as well. Just joined myself about 2-3 weeks ago after getting a Weber Smokey Mountain. Newbie myself still learning (a lot).
go Bucks btw...
wow, seems like a lot of Ohio folks lately. Ohio guy here as well (central ohio - Lewis center/Westerville area)
Welcome. I am a newbie myself but love this site.
ps not sure what part of Ohio you are in, but what about that rain if you were in it? crazy - 18 hours of steady downpour
I vote chicken quarters. Brine for 2-3 hours, the toss on for about 3-4 hours. moist, delicious, and in the time range you are looking for.
Also I think a twice smoked ham only goes for 304 hours but I might be wrong
It is a great device but I do find myself hoping I press just the right things in the right order. I have been able to switch from BBQ to Food and back and pregrame the temp ranges I want. I guess that is a success.
Hey there Columbus guy myself. Newbie as well to smoking, just got a weber about two weeks ago.
Go bucks btw, what a game last night.
Anyway, if you are close I think the Polaris mall has a stand there that sells Treager smokers (I might be wrong) but if not may be a good spot to stop by and...
For what it is worth, I did a pork butt about 2 weeks ago (which was my FIRST smoke ever btw...) and I did almost all the things you have.
More specifically:
1) I used 1/2 hickory, 1/2 apple
2) Used KBB
I had a huge stall as well. eventually I foiled at the very end only because I had kids...
For what it is worth, I am a newbie to smoking, just got a WSM. I have made 3 meals on it. I told my family each time I wanted honest feedback - I am learning and I want to know what they really think. Spare my feelings, I need to know - "Too Smokey? Too Dry? perfect?" etc.
now maybe I am...
cool. I was not so much worried as I was curious (which I am about everything by my nature). since they were so close at lower temps I just didn't know if something at higher temps tend to cause the differences. Or maybe I just have circulating air that is that different. who knows.
I'm...
I have had a very like question. I own a WSM (22.5") and the maverick 733. I have done the boiling water test 2-3 times, always end up right in the 211-212 range, with maybe a 1-2 degree difference between both probes. Also I tried a hot cup of liquid (not boiling) just to see how close, was...
I did buy a cheap $0.99 sprayer (I actually got a red one for "apple" to remind me it is apple juice - I am so creative...) and I did spray it once fairly lightly. But when I was wanting the temp to get up due to the lateness of the day and need to feed hungry children (always the trump card) I...
