    Help with WSM Temperature Control

    Thanks for the info that is one neat gadget, I think you explained to me why I have been chasing temps like a yo yo as you put it because I was not waiting long enough to see the stabilized changes.

    Today I am smoking about 10 slabs of ribs, maybe 50 to 60 piece of chicken well that is the plan anyway.  Right now I have about 6 slabs on the bottom grate and 15 pieces of chicken on the top grate.  I have a BBQ grill also, so everything may not get smoked but the ribs for sure will be smoked
