Ok the Weber smokey mountain units.. I'll keep this to the obvious differences between the units. I won't say you can't produce good product on the wsm because you can and people do use them for comps.
Sure you can buy a truck load of them compared to a gravity feed unit. But more doesn't...
I went with the 24 for a couple reasons, price being one of them. Nobody out there offers a gravity feed smoker of that size, with these options for the same money. Secondly I figured it would be big enough to do most anything I wanted. With 4 racks you can put a bunch of product in it. I...
I've recently been down the same path. I have a reverse flow stick burner that works extremely well but the down sides were beginning to show.
While I have access to fruit orchards nearby having to go collect the wood is kind of a pain. Constant maintainence, seems every 45 minutes I'm out...
I didn't take any pics. Never even thought about it.
Placing the smoking wood in the heat vent passage into the cabinet worked real good. I think Ill do this for future smokes.
Interesting idea on the skin, I seen that on a YouTube video with a pork belly.
I got 3 racks of ribs and a couple ducks going on here in a few minutes. My neighbor wants the ducks done.. I could care less for duck, I told him to pan them because I didn't want any quacky drippings ruining my ribs!
About the smoke...
I know the wood chunks burn in the ash pan and the smoke has to go over the meat thru the cabinet. But.... It has to pass thru the red hot coals to get there. I can't help but wonder how much smoke is lost when it's super heated by the coals. ive often thought about putting...
One of my only complaints is the rack spacing. It would be nice to have some additional guides installed so you can move the racks around some. As they are you can put pork butts on them as the butts are too tall and hit the rack above. It would be nice to have guides for 3 equal spaced racks to...
Heres some before and after brisket pictures.
I can't remember if this was one of the ones above, but a sliced ready to eat picture it is.
These were the pork butts I did when seasoning the Assassin, notice the perfectly clean racks LOL
Soren,
I got mine just before Labor Day. I didn't waste any smoke, I did a pork butt in it while I seasoned it.
I use Royal Oak from Walmart and it burns real good. I've also used the BGE brand which I think is Royal Oak in a different bag. I didn't care for the brand sold at SAMs club, black...
Looks just like mine!
Your going to love it, here's a few things I've learned with mine.
I've burned brickets and lump in mine and prefer the lump more so for the flavor but I also think it burns slower too. It should go 14 hours or so at 225 with a chute full of lump. Just be sure to break...
