    Smoking chunks of baby backs

    I got a couple of packs of baby backs that were on sale that I want to smoke. They’re vacuum sealed, and will be going on an WSM 18”. At least that’s the plan. I haven’t opened them but as far as I can tell they aren’t full racks, but are cut in portions of 3-4 ribs, maybe 4”-6” wide each. Is...

    Question : temp drop after 201

    I’m using an WSM 18” to smoke a 2ib pork butt (first real smoke in it). I’ve had fairly consistent temps all the way through, between 225-250. No wrap. Going good. I got up to 201 internal temp, and then it started dropping. Now it’s at 196. Is this normal?

    Pulled Pork on the fly!

    I'd bought about a 4lb pork butt on sale at the local grocery, brought it home and promptly forgot about it. It had been in the fridge for about 5 days when I remembered it, so I figured I'd better get it on the smoker. Wednesday night I seasoned it with a rub consisting of the usual brown...

    WSM 22.5 Issue

    I recently got my first WSM coming from a Masterbuilt Gravity Fed Charcoal Smoker. So far, I've done two smokes, ribs and pork shoulder, which both came out great. My only issue is that the cooling off period for the smoker seems to take forever. I'm talking over 12 hours with all the vents...

    Cold WSM 18

    I've not been able to achieve proper temperatures with my >10 y/o WSM 18". I've used chunk and briquettes (last night) and it just doesn't want to come up to temp. Minion method, all vents open, cleaned WSM. Anybody got any ideas? Cheers

    Vertical Smoker -vs- Offset Smoker? - Need advice on buying one

    Good morning all. A few weeks back I got a very cheap, very small, Char-Broil offset from FB Marketplace. It is a piece of junk. I sold it and now I am in the market for another smoker. I always liked the idea of vertical smoking and heard that WSM is a great one, but I am turned off by that...

    ALL NIGHT SRF WAGYU BRISKET

    As many of you already know I was the lucky recipient of a free SRF Wagyu brisket. It was from a member on here who wishes to remain anonymous. Originally I was planning on smoking it for Easter, but the weather yesterday & today are perfect for outdoor grilling. So we did an all night smoke in...

    Brisket mistake

    Hey all, I'm new to smoking and the forum. I have a WSM 18 that I bought second hand. Today I smoked some wings and a small 3.6lb grass fed brisket I bought from a local butcher. I cleaned it up and it was looking good before going on. I used a 4 probe inkbird thermometer as well. Fired the WSM...

    Not enough smoke

    Hey guys, I completed my 3rd smoke on my WSM yesterday. 6 pound butt at 225-250 with hickory and Apple wood. My temp was very consistent and I really only had to touch the bottom vents after getting my meat on once. After IT hit about 130/140 I noticed that I was not getting that thin blue smoke...

    Going Rogue

    I've had my 14.5" WSM for several years now and have smoked in all kinds of conditions. Never had an issue holding temps. It's really a rock solid smoker that just chugs along. It's been a while since I've bought a new gadget and I was getting the itch, so I finally pulled the trigger on...

    Pre-Halloween Thanksgiving

    Crummy weather outside this past weekend. Rain, hail, snow, wind we had it all. So what better to do than fire up the 14.5" WSM and smoke a turkey breast! Picked up a bone-in 8.75 pound breast. Cut the neck portion off and some of the loose skin for stock. Seasoned it with SPOG inside and out...

    Camp Maid Chimney & Chicken

    A while back I picked up the Camp Maid folding charcoal chimney to keep in my camp gear. The standard chimney is fine, but I don't have a good place to store it in the trailer. This chimney can be stored in a 12" D.O. which I just happen to have in the trailer all the time. As advertised it says...

    Smokin and Jokin Time - Hello There!

    Hello fellow carnivores and omnivores, Just found your site yesterday when I was trying to figure out what to do with the leftover fat from trimming a 4 lb competition brisket. This was my third smoke on a brand new WSM18 and she performed well, hovering on a 250F for 7 hours or so... It...

    WSM 18 or 22?

    So 7 years ago I purchased a Brinkmann Gourmet charcoal smoker and heavily modified it.

I have convinced...

    Jeff’s Gouda bacon chops

    I just happened to have some pork chaps thawing out when Jeff’s email went out with a recipe for Gouda and bacon stuffed pork chops. I started with some super thick chops from Costco. I butterflied them and rubbed them with my pork rub while the bacon was cooking in the cast iron skillet. The...

    WSM Spatchcock chicken question

    I'm doing 4 whole chickens on my WSM 22 for 4th of July. Is it ok to put two on top rack and two on the bottom rack? I know normally you would never put chicken on top with something underneath but wasn't sure if it would be ok to put 2 of the birds on that lower rack? Thanks in advance for...
