    wsm cooking hot!

    my 2 cents - I have been playing with my WSM to get used to it as well. -start with a small amount of charcoal and build the fire as needed. (keep a chimney or extra grill on the side with some extra) --I added some handles to my  smoker - so I can easily lift it to play with the coals as...

    First WSM Smoke - need advice for a small piece of brisket

    I finally upgraded from a Brinkman ECB to a WSM and have been dying to try brisket. A friend who is a butcher gave me a pound and a half of the top - also called a "second cut" brisket (half of the smaller top section, with the fat cap) - I can't afford to risk ruining a whole brisket, and just...
