    How I start and use my WSM....

    I don't think it could hurt. Just more clay mass. The only possible ill effect I could envision is together they may be too heavy for the water pan supports without modification.

    WSM Sticky Lid

    As you can probably see in the pic, I've never tried.  It was Swiss coffee white when first applied. I suppose you could use a mild soap (possibly bleach) and water solution and it would probably be fine. It would be the same as cleaning thick felt.

    WSM Sticky Lid

    Mine was also, my lid would stick because of it. A couple of careful "bear hugs" to the center section should do it, if that is actually indeed the problem. Now if that's not the issue, have you ever thought about applying Nomex gasket material around the top ring of the midsection? I have...

    The temp differences between top and bottom grates is not enough to matter...5 - 10 degrees max.

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    I agree with JlRodriguez. Get the WSM...you'll be very, very glad you did. I started (and needlessly tortured myself) on a modified ECB.....search my threads on here.  Pros: I learned a ton. I paid my dues. Although at least 10x more work, it turned out some great Q. Cheap Cons: Cheap...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    That's the reason I don't use this exact (soup can) variation of the Minion with KB...I do with lump though. I use the standard Minion when using the blue...pouring lit over the unlit because the lit filters out the initial yuck that burns off of KB when it first ignites. Doing it this way...

    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    With KBB & the traditional minion method (fully lit poured over unlit), in my experience the chemical smell and taste of the unlit is filtered through the lit. So for me it is a non-issue. Now it could be a problem if using the non-traditional "soup can" method, but personally I would only...

    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    You just gotta wait for the sales. I stock up on KB when Lowes or Home Depot has sales...usually during the big holidays between May thru Sept. $10-$13 for 40 lbs. If you get yourself a KCBS membership, that will grant you access to Restaurant Depot which have stores in Van Nuys and other areas...

    3-2-1 method

    I will sometimes foil brisket at around 165*, cook in foil till probe tender and then air the foil at that point so to stop it cooking. Then re-wrap with the same foil and let it rest for an hour or so. After that, I'll hot grill it to firm the bark back up.

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Hmm...just tried & works fine for me. Chrome browser.

    Yes...more charcoal.  Other than that, the methods be the same.

    3-2-1 method

    Yep. That's what I do when I'm not gonna foil. If foiling, then cutting them up sometimes becomes necessary.

    3-2-1 method

    Well the idea of the last hour out of the foil is to firm and set the bark. I suppose if you just open the foil you may get some of that, but it's still being braised in the foil juices. If I were gonna attempt this, I would most likely flip the ribs bone side down in the foil.

    How I start and use my WSM....

    If you're gonna use lighter fluid, then you don't need the chimney. That's the purpose of the chimney...to avoid the fumes, taste and toxins of the fluid. You do not have to use the cubes, newspaper is the most commonly used medium for starting the chimney. Most people use the cubes because...

    Thanks for the "grate" idea and detailed post Slipstream. I may give this one a shot.
