I currently smoke on my Weber 26" kettle using a SnS. Last night I cooked a 16lb brisket. I had plenty of room for the brisket and temperatures were pretty easy to hold. My biggest issue was charcoal capacity and the need to refill the charcoal throughout the cook. I have been thinking about...
Auber electric smoker PID that I have laying around. It is the Model: WS-1500EPM. It has never been used. Planned on using it for an electric smoker I had but I sold the smoker.

I have been smoking at home using charcoal and wood chunks to smoke my meat. I have cooked on a Mini-WSM, Weber with a Slow N Sear (my current favorite way to smoke), a Pit Barrel Cooker, and several electric smokers with AMAZN Pellets. I have cooked plenty of pulled pork this way. I have tried...
I am thinking about starting a butt before I leave for work and letting it cook while I am at work. I will move the smoker away from the house and put it in my yard. Have any of you left you MES going for 8+ hours while away?
I have been smoking on a mini WSM and just purchased a PBC that will be here Wednesday. For those of you who own both or have owned both which is your go to smoker and which do you prefer and why?
This isn't the first Boston Butt I will be cooking but I want to get a little more guidance before I tackle this next one. So a few questions:
1. The 3 types of pellets I have for my MES with an AMNPS are Apple, Cherry, and Hickory. Should I use 1 of these, 2, or mix all 3 together?
2. I will...
Before I knew any better I went out and bought an analog MES 30. I've used it mainly for ribs and butts. I also use an AMNPS for the smoke. While there is nothing wrong with the structure of the smoker, except for the thin walls it still contains no rust.
My question is should I purchase a...
I am trying to figure out how to make a grill I obtained for free into a smoker without spending to much money. The grill looks like a char-broil but does not have a side firebox. I am trying to figure out an easy way to use it to smoke meat. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Here is the grill
When I set my mini wsm up for a cook I fill up my chimney with unlit charcoal which is about 60 unlit briquettes of Stubb's. I take that chimney and spread them around the charcoal grate. I take 15 briquettes out of the middle and light them in the chimney. I bring it up to about 215-220 with...
This is my 3rd attempt at ribs. The others were just okay and not very good according to my wife. I didn't give up. After watching the first 2 seasons of BBQ Pitmasters I was determined to get a good rack. When I asked my wife what I should do differently she told me nothing. She fought and won...
I finally got around to making the final touches to my mini wsm. I made a video to give you an idea on what I have done. If you have any questions let me know.
I have a mini wsm and am still trying to dial it in and have a few questions.
1. How many unlit briquettes do you use?
2. How many lit briquettes do you add to get it going?
3. How many chunks of wood?
4. How long does it take for it to come up to temperature?
5. When raising the...
My sister got a divorce and when I was helping her move I noticed a grill/smoker just sitting there. She didn't want to take it with her and her ex didn't take it either. She said I could have it.
So I loaded it up into the truck and home bound I went. It wasn't an easy task loading it up by...
For those of you with this setup how much meat can you throw on and cook? How many butts, ribs, etc can you cook at 1 time? I have a mini wsm as my only grill/smoker and am wondering if this should be my next step.
Has anyone used a pitmaster IQ110 with a built mini wsm? I know the mini wsm holds temps well on its own but it would be nice to set it and forget it. Thoughts?
I have a smoker that I made using a Weber Smokey Joe and a 32qt steamer pot, it's a mini wsm. Currently it runs off of charcoal and wood chunks. There are times that I am unable to tend to a fire during the cook. During these times I would like to make the smoker run on electric.
Here is what...
Hello everyone. I have been prowling around on this forum for a few days now. Now it's time for me to come out of the shadows and ask some questions. I grew up here in the south and am no stranger to eating good Q but I am very new at cooking it. I built my first smoker earlier this month using...
