    Old Smokey #22

    I see, well I just ordered a #18...darn you guys lol! I think it will be great for the times I just wanna grill some burgers or a steak, even though I can use the WSM for that. Its not exactly designed for that and I think i screwed up my temp guage using it for that. Weber replaced it though...

    Old Smokey #22

    Hey im curious were you got the lid with the adjust vent, the lids on the site dont look like they have that vent but you cant really see the top very well. is that a custom made part? the charcoal ones from what I see have a sliding type vent not the damper with the 3 holes like a weber. I may...

    Old Smokey #22

    Im very excited to see how the charcoal version works, I never noticed they had a charcoal version when I was looking at them before I got my WSM but MAN the price is right, and I need a small one for traveling, Its a challenge fitting my 18" WSM into a mustang gt.....

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    Ok I will try to remember to do that. Im going to be taking it out of town with me to cook for the family this weekend. I use what coals are left after the last time I use it when i shut it down and it goes out on its own. unless there arent many in there ill add more, but if im going to do a...

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    Hey I just noticed your reply. Well today I tried it with some thick tbones to try the reverse searing. Kind of the same thing happen but I only used 3 chunks. Like the size of an 8 year olds fist haha not sure how else to describe them. They did end up stopping smoking in about 20 minutes while...

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    no I don't put anything on the outside of the coal ring. I think I need to let things get a little hotter or something before I put the middle on and let it settle. I notice in nepas photo he has fresh coals on top of hot coals. I put in fresh coals first spread out evenly with a few chunks...

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    but shouldnt they be turning to coal? like all black and lighter in weight. Maybe im just stressing out over nothing. just seems like im wasting wood, but I guess i can reuse it.  Thanks for the advice!

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    haha I figured as much. I understand I dont want rolling white smoke but the fact that the wood isnt burning completly like it did in my ol propane smoker I just didnt think it was right....And I did a pork loin roast and had really no smoke ring at all so i was a little concerned, it tasted...

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    No one else have this problem? I cant be the only one....When I say its not burning all the way I dont mean its turning to coal like it did with my old propane smoker. Its still brown in places all around the chunks, like real wood. I could understand if they were turning to coal and crushed...

    Old Smokey #22

    Ah good point, the one I saw at the store here didnt have a vent, how ever there wont be any air "flow" cause there is no bottom vent, well at least on the electric. I assume the charcoal one would have to have 2 vents. in flow and out flow? Honestly I was mostly turned off by the smell of the...

    Old Smokey #22

    I debated on getting one of the electrics locally but was turned off by the fact you have to put this absorbent stuff in the bottom to collect drippings and I had read that since they are sealed with no air flow the meat kind of got an odd taste. Im interested in the review of the charcoal one...

    Wood not fully burning in WSM but maintaining temps?

    Hey guys I have a quick one EDIT (ok question ended up getting longer). My WSM has made some great food but I am having an issue were my wood chunks arent fully being burned to ash or even charred fully and I think im wasting a good amount of wood. I usually use 4-5 hunks of hickory or what ever...

    Pulled pork kamado style with enough q-veiw to test your bandwidth

    I have to say those look great, and I just got my WSM this spring and I have never foiled a pork butt out of the 3 ive done and all have turned out great, I dont plan on foiling ever, I do foil though and wrap in towels and cooler then for an hour or so as recommended. everyone seems to approve...

    smokin it #1 or a weber smokey mountain HELP!!
