First Smoke On My Akorn
Last weekend I smoke for the first time in my new Char Griller Akorn with great results. The beef back ribs came out great - they weren't Dinos but had plenty of beef on them for my wife and I. Since it was the first cook (I fired it up a couple of weeks ago to season the grill with peanut...- Chief 7

My First Pork Shoulder On The WSM
It was SO moist and tender and I shred it with my gloved hands. Sadly, there is only about 3oz left - that may be lunch today. -

My First Pork Shoulder On The WSM
My third smoke but my first pork shoulder. I put it on the WSM at about 9am and took it off to wrap at about 1pm with a temp of 165. I let it go until it was at 203, and then let it rest for about 2 hours. It was VERY tasty! I set the FireBoard at 250 and it spiked once after I did an apple... -

Increase height of WSM from ground?
I needed the elevation - I blew my back out initially (among other little times) dragging a big old fat guy out of the house - and then he had the audacity to die on my anyway! I'm thrilled that your son is on the job - it is the best one in the world! And I have a great deal of respect for...- Chief 7

Increase height of WSM from ground?
Tomorrow we'll smoke a port butt but today I went ahead and am trying the cement block riser method. We'll see how this goes, but prepping it for the morning smoke was much easier. Here's a couple of pics right after we got it set up. Thanks for all of your comments.- Chief 7

Increase height of WSM from ground?
I am an older retired firefighter with a bad back. Let's just say bending isn't what I do best or for very long. I was thinking of trying to increase the height of my WSM by, as a trial, setting it on a couple of cement blocks. Or, maybe someone on here has some experience making an...- Chief 7

The First Rack Is On!
My wife and I did a pretty good job of finishing off a whole rack of Baby Backs. They had a good finish on them a great smoke flavor (I used apple wood only with too much charcoal. I used a modified Minion method but WAY too much charcoal in the chimney. The temp never got above 320 before I got... -

The First Rack Is On!
The first rack of baby backs is on the WSM - I think I used too much charcoal and had too much in the chimney, but what I have read from all of you is that this is a learning process. And, if every other smoke is like getting the first one up and going, it is also a cardio exercise event for... -

Enough with the Gas Grill
Well, I just found a lightly used WSM 18 locally for 1/4 the cost and it comes with charcoal and wood, cover, ash bucket, heat shield blanket - what a deal. He JUST posted it and he's moving Saturday. Perfect timing. Thanks all! -

Enough with the Gas Grill
I feel your pain! I used to be the fire chief at West Manatee F/R - and I still have to do some stuff downtown for Bradenton Kiwanis. It is now taking more >20 min to get to th lunch meeting at Kiwanis Hall (in the Performing Arts Center on 3rd Ave) and - god forbid - I have a meeting there at... -

Enough with the Gas Grill
I knew there had to be someone in the area! I'm leaning toward the WSM 18 - even though I generally just cook for my wife and I (and share the extra with my daughter or a good neighbor) I don't hear much about the Mini. If I decide to go in that direction I may get back with you. -

Enough with the Gas Grill
Brand new guy here from Bradenton, FL. I have been grilling for years - and really have tried to "smoke" on my gas grill. I have used (with some success) a pellet tube but have found it adequate but ONLY that - and it is an expensive smoke. To smoke a butt or some beef ribs I use a tank of gas...
