    Post build, can't get heat up...

    Built my mini last week and did some chicken quarters for trial run. Came out okay, but could never get temps over 250. Tonight threw on some baby backs and could never get temps above 200. I have the premium smokey joe with side vents, the bottom of pot is bunch of 3/4" holes drilled out...

    To those in Orlando/Central FL...

    (apologies if posted in wrong sub-forum) Someone in the Windermere area is selling a new, in the box, WSM 18" for $200 on Facebook Marketplace. As much as I'd like to, can't swing it currently, but I'm sure someone would like to take it home

    Few questions before I build...

    Good info guys, appreciate it On the ball valves (I have the desire to mod, but on a budget, so this seems like the best option/compromise): I looked on Lowes and there's multiple varieties of ball valves. Is female, sweat, or push fit? And how do you secure it to kettle? Treat me like a...

    Few questions before I build...

    I've done lots, probably too much, reading across the interwebs about these mini-WSM's and decided it will be a summer project; seems the perfect cooking tool for our cabin up in north GA. But before I start, a couple things I'd appreciate veteran mini builders opinion on: Smokey Joe regular...

    Best option for a newbie?

    Trust me, my inner "Tim the Toolman Taylor" says get the WSM 22.5...but my inner Dave Ramsey says I don't need that size and therefore don't need to spend the extra $. The frugal side is correct, though, I'd never cook for more than the family, so a few racks of ribs or a 6lb butt would be the...

    What's your favorite home cooked meal??

    I have yet to perfect any specific dish that gets the "you're making that or I'm not coming over" response, though the wife loves my chili (surprisingly, since she's not into spicy foods; I add just a smidge of cinnamon to make it a hybrid Texas/Cincinnati mix) For my own tastes, deathbed...

    Best option for a newbie?

    Haha, yeah, if it gets below 40 I'm probably not gonna be spending much time outside; though that only happens a handful of times each "winter". Rain and windy storms will be the biggest outdoor deterrent most likely.

    SMF Fantasy Football- Season 2

    Oh shizz...I'm only in 14 leagues, what's one more? I know I'm new here, but while smoking is the main hobby for most members here, fantasy football is mine (but I'm learning, so smoking will make my NFL Sunday's better). I'm down if league 2 has openings

    Favorite Beer

    mmmm...beer! My go to in terms of quantity is Sweetwater 420. We have a growing microbrew community here in Central FL, Cigar City Brewing being one of the more widely known options. Their Jai Alai IPA is a darn good sip. I find myself drawn to IPAs mostly nowadays, though a good stout is...

    How goes it?

    *generic been reading for a while and finally joined intro* Name is Kyle and I'm down in Orlando. I've ditched the gas grill and come aboard the charcoal and wood burning ship! Currently have just a Weber Kettle w/ the Slow-N-Sear accessory to try some smoking adventures with. Come September...

    Best option for a newbie?

    Gents, ladies, undecideds Howdy! New here and to smoking in general, but starting on the path to righteousness by way of grilled/smoked meats for nightly noms. Wifey and I, along with 2 y/o kiddo, moved into our new build at beginning of year. I'm feeling all manly with my big property (1/3...
