First Spatchcock Attempt...Question
Guys, Mission complete! Turned out much better than I could have hoped for. Being cold and breezy in these parts today I was struggling to maintain my 275 temp so I ended up wrapping an old wool blanket around my WSM 18". Smoking jacket is coming soon! Only took 3 hrs for a cockspatched 12lb'r... -
First Spatchcock Attempt...Question
Excellent, and thanks for the timely feedback! I'll go directly on the grate with a catch pan on the lower level plus, I'll be sure to take photos. This forum is great! -
First Spatchcock Attempt...Question
Good morning everyone, I'm giving a 12 lb spatchcocked turkey a go today. It's been brining since yesterday afternoon. The smoking tool of choice is a weber 18" smokey mountain and was I planning to smoke at 265 unless someone suggests I consider another temp profile. Question for the masses... -

WSM 18" Temp Challenges
I have a 5lb pork butt on today and have had better success as of late at maintaining desired temps thanks to several of you. Much appreciated. That said, I'm looking to improve upon the dome thermometer and also get a Maverick ET-733 or an Inkbird. Also considering the BBQGuru down the road as...- jgates237

WSM 18" Temp Challenges
Did a relatively quick smoke of wings the other night after taking in several of the recommendations from you all. At first I was surprised at how long it was taking to get up to temp but what I learned was I needed to open the lower vents all the way then the temps began to rise pretty quickly...- jgates237

My New Weber 22 Kettle
So what does the vortex actually do, channel the heat straight up? Looks like you use less coals as well. Is it intended for long smokes too? If so is it difficult to add more coals?- jgates237

Charcoal EZstarts
I utilize the chimney as well but it's very smokey for the first few minutes. That said, do the electric loops keep the smoke level down? I ask because starting coals in condo environment doesn't always sit well with the neighbors so anything to keep the startup smoke level down would be an...- jgates237

WSM 18" Temp Challenges
So it appears none of you are using water anymore but what are you putting between the coals and cooking grates? 5Grillzntn sounds like you have some sort of ceramic plate. Not sure what you're doing Ryder. Either way, I think the water in the bowl program is over. I did notice the last couple...- jgates237

WSM 18" Temp Challenges
Hi everyone, Not much of a poster, mostly a lurker as there's plenty of great posts on this site. I've been poking around looking for information of WSM temp management and have come to the conclusion I need BBQ Guru and an after market thermometer such as the Maverick as the one on my WSM...- jgates237

Forgot to Wrap at 165?!
Disregard, temps started to climb again and now up to 185. Thought I screwed up. All is well! -
Forgot to Wrap at 165?!
I have a 6lb pork butt that's been on for over 8 hrs now. It stalled at 161 for about hour then slowly climbed to around 171 and stayed there for about two hours. I decided to mop it then realized I forgot to foil it at 165. Once I realized my error I immediately wrapped it in foil. About 30... -

Smoked Party Wings
Made these wings as a Thanksgiving Day appetizer for the early football game. My family was blown away as to how good they were. This recipe has legs and will be around with us for the quite some time. I've been looking at Malcom Reeds YouTubes. He provides excellent instructions to some great... -
