    1st crack at wings on the WSM

    My son was sick today so I had to stay home with him. I decided since I didn’t get a chance to smoke anything over the weekend, that I’d give some wings a try on the WSM I’ve been learning over the last couple months. As this was last minute, I decided to just work with what I had as far as...

    Looking to dabble in smoking meat

    I love eating smoked meat and it's time I stop solely relying on others to allow that to happen in my life. I want to get a smoker. I've TENTATIVELY narrowed my choices down to an 18.5 WSM and a Masterbuilt electric (although I'm seeing tons of different options of those and have no idea which...

    Long start up time on WSM

    I’m trying to figure out why it’s taking so long for the thick white smoke and charcoal start up smell to clear on my 18” WSM, usually 2+ hours after adding the lit coals to the unlit (minion method). Here’s my typical process: get about 8-15 coals (embers from Home Depot) going in a large...

    First Fattie: a couple questions

    Hey SMF gang, Y'all have helped make everything I've pulled off the smoker the last year be amazing, so obviously I immediately returned to "home base" as soon as I decided to dabble in the realm of fatties! We'll have another dish at the gathering that incorporates breakfast sausage, so I'm...

    Whole chickens with Disco's guidance

    I started thawing 4 chickens a few days ago, figuring I'd have a plan by this weekend. Nope. Thankfully, I got a few tips from Disco (Preacher Man, I'm making pulled chicken tacos your way next time around). I combined the glaze and dipping sauce from his Cambodia Chicken with his Piri Piri...

    Top round roast and overnight pulled pork

    Started a couple of boston butts last night on my 18.5 WSM, and had plans for a top round to join them in the morning. I was a little lazy last night, I did not prepare the beef until the morning. Lit chimney @ 10pm, temp stable @235* with applewood, water in the water pan, and butts on by about...

    New Year's Brisket

    It was slightly chilly and very windy here in Northern NJ on New Year's Day. I was planning to smoke about 10 pounds of pork belly, but the cure wasn't completely done, so I opted for a small brisket flat. After trimming, it was about 5 pounds. I used the low-salt "Jeff's Rub", and popped it on...

    Dry Pork Butts, please help!

    I've smoked three, 7 to 8 lb pork shoulders on my WSM, and they have all been relatively dry and lacking in juice and flavor. Meanwhile, if I smoke a 3 lb blade roast, it comes out with plenty of juice, and tasty as can be. Does you have any ideas what is going on here? I am smoking at 225 to...

    Cold weather brisket

    Hi all, Just a quick question. Planning on smoking a 11 lb brisket Sunday night into Monday on my 22.5 WSM. It’s going to get down into the teens over night here in western ny, and just wondering how the cold will effect my cook? I normally use the minion method (10-12 lit briquettes), and my...

    First reverse sear NY strip

    I’ve been wanting to reverse sear some steaks for awhile. I bought a prime top loin for Christmas, so I cut a couple 2” thick and set them aside for the smoker. They turned out great. I’ll probably do ribeyes next time, but I prefer a leaner cut when grilled, so that is what I had on hand...

    Ribs, Chuck, and Scotch Eggs

    A good friend of mine confessed to ruining some babybacks for his family just recently. After receiving a frustrated text from him mid-dinner, I decided we could tag team some ribs together from across town: I'd run my WSM and he'd smoke on his grill with indirect heat and woodchips in an...

    Pulled Beef and Pork, and Ribs for the family

    My family (7 adults and 2 kids) is going to Blue Ridge for an extended weekend, and we've divided meal duties amongst different family members. As fun as it would be to run my 18.5 WSM at our cabin rental, I don't think it would outweigh the pain of traveling with it in a Prius. I decided to...

    Couple of Questions + NFL Kickoff Smokes

    Hey SMF Crew, After my initial couple of smokes after getting my WSM, I did a couple more over 2 weekends to line up with the beginning of the NFL season involving PP and ribs, and they caused a couple of questions to pop up in my head, so I figured I'd ask the gang on here, and throw the...

    Lighting a few coals

    The first couple of times I used the minion method, I lit a few pieces of charcoal using my chimney upside down with a couple of pieces of newspaper. It worked just fine, but the last 2 smokes I’ve done, I can’t get it to light. The newspaper either falls down the chimney and is too far from the...

    First ABTs

    I learned about ABTs in here a few weeks ago and have been dying to try some ever since. I finally made some to put on the WSM while I was finishing up a pork butt. I kept it pretty simple. Cream cheese and sharp cheddar with a little pork seasoning in the cream cheese. They came out great. I...

    Maiden Voyage Weekend - WSM 22 - Labor Day

    Hey SMF Community! I just wanted to post the results of my first smoker weekend, with lots of help from the forums here. I owned a very horrible smoker at a rental house about 9 years ago, and did some edible smokes with it, but recently built a deck for my wife and myself on our house, and...

    First spatchcock chicken

    I read about the spatchcock method on here and had to try it out. Results were great. Rubbed with SPOG and Rosemary and put a little garlic butter on the breast. Smoked at 260 with a little pecan. Had a spike to 300, which was fine because it was towards the end and made the skin a little...

    My Mini build (pics)

    I'm finally done with my mini build. It was such a fun and inexpensive project and hopefully I'll get some good times and good BBQ out of it. I kept budget in mind the whole build, so I will try to keep my prices included and give total for the project. I started off by finding a SJS on CL for...

    Saturday smokin

    This is my first weekend with my WSM, so I had do do some smoking. Started out with some baby backs rubbed with my hometown fire dept’s secret pork burger seasoning. Smoked with hickory and pecan using the 2-2-1 method. I debated on using the water pan or not and decided to use it this time...
