    Questions about the WSM????

    Questions about the WSM????

    Just pulled a pork shoulder off the WSM after about 10 hours at 225-250 degrees. The meat inside is to die for. The bark on the other hand is a different story...it has just a slight bitter taste to it. So my questions for the gang is this. 1) I used the Minion method with Kingsford Blue bag...

    Help with deciding on my first smoker.

    So I have been wanting to jump into the game for a while now. The wife has suggested a BGE but that's not in the budget for now. I also want to try my hand at smoking before making a big purchase like the Egg. So what do you guys recommend for a beginner wanting to burn wood on a budget. ($200...

    Question about an OK Joe Highlander

    So I was at my local Wally-World the other day and I happened to notice that they had the OKJ Highlander in stock.
