    Can it rest too long?

    Hi, Pork butt came off just now at 205! Feels pretty good but i dont need to feed people for another 3 hours. Its wrapped in foil, towels and in the cool box. Stupid question, but will leaving it rest for 3 hrs have any negative impact? Ie will it start getting cold or become hard? Thanks

    Best temp for pulling?

    I have plenty of time today so i can stop my 5.6lbs pork butt at any point between 195 to 205. Will it pull better at 205 than 195? Also, thinking i'll let it rest, foiled in the cooler for 1 hour. Would 2 hrs be better?? Thanks!

    My very first WSM cook - pics!!

    Baby back ribs! So happy with the way they turned out! The photo which shows 3 racks on the grill - the two outer racks were foiled 3-2-1. I think i might go 2-2-1 or 2.5-2-1 next time, but wow they were good! The middle rack was left unfoiled just out of curiosity. It was nice but i think i...

    Briquettes turning grey..

    I've been using a weber kettle for years as a grill only (never smoked before - tomorrows my first on my new WSM!! Cant wait) but i always only put my meat on the grill once the coals had turned grey. My WSM manual tells me (and the minion method videos ive seen on youtube tell me) that i can...

    WSM two levels - time?

    Hi there, I'm sure the definitive answer is here somewhere but I have not yet come across it. But I'm wondering if lets say I have ribs on the WSM top shelf and chicken (or whatever) on the bottom shelf, does the overall cooking time increase? Thanks
