    Weber 22.5 with Auber pid problems.

    I cant seem to keep temps up using this Auber controller. I get the temp up to where I want the old fashion way, Th en when I try to use the controller it drops the temp down 25 to 30 degree below to the target temp. I got the 10cfm fan to be able to get higher temps when doing poultry but can't...

    Some pork chops.

    Did some pork chops today on the Horizon. Didn't do them low and slow, kept the temps right at 300 to 325ish. I must say they came out great.  The rub was a store bought number. It was really tasty though.   Here we have one plated with a beet salad, home grown green onion, cukes soaked in...

    It's been a while

    I've really been busy doing so many other things it's been a while since I smoked anything. Finally got around to getting some pulled pork done today. Started out with a real nice small shoulder. Got some store bought rub (I was being lazy) put on it and ready for some smoke. Here's...

    Spare ribs sucked

    Let this be a lesson, the quality of meat makes a HUGE difference. I normally get my ribs at the local butcher but unfortunately he was out this past Friday when I went shopping. Instead I went to a local grocery and bought some that were cryovaced. Boy was that a mistake, those ribs totally...

    Stablizing temps on WSM

    Lately I've been using my WSM exclusively. One problem I've had has been temp control, it's always ran around 250° or better. Instead of burning lump like in my last few smokes this time I've used briquettes. One other thing I did this time was to tape the door shut. With the door sealed off...

    WSM Question

    I was wondering if anyone here has ran the WSM using sand instead of water? I was thinking of giving this a try but figured I'd ask around first.

    First run on the WSM

    Today was the very first run for the WSM. Going from using the off set to this was pretty much a boring experience, exactly what I was hoping for. I filled up the charcoal basket with around 15 lbs of blue bag Kingsford, lit up about 1/3 chimney and it was on. Filled the water bowl full with...

    New Smoker for my Bday

    Here's what showed up at the door today for my Bday. I guess I should have taken some pics before I assembled it. It's the 18" model. I plan to do my first cook with it on Saturday. Took a pork shoulder out for some pulled pork sammies. If anyone has any tips or suggestions on...

    Pro Q vs WSM

    Does anyone have any insight on the quality of the Pro Q vs the WMS. I was looking at the Pro Q and they seem to be a pretty good smoker from most reports. Just wondering how they measure up to the WSM.
