First smoke on the new WSM (pork heavy)

[SmokingUPnorth]

I finally got my 22” WSM gave it a dry run on Friday after putting it together to season it even though it says you don’t need to. But I mixed up some of Jeff’s rub and put it on don’t St. Louis ribs, a spiral ham (first time doing a ham that’s @Bearcarver for the help) and a little pork loin. I got a little crazy at meijer I just went there for the ribs and came back with all that plus 4 thick porterhouse and 4 T-bone steaks since they were on sale for $6.99/lb. did the ribs for 6 hours, about 5 for the ham and around 2 hours until thepork loin was to temp. Pretty impressed so far with the WSM easy to control temp and good flavor just like my kettle but more room. I think I’m definitely gonna buy the hinge for it though. Anyway here are some pics.

Now that's a big cook, I hope at least you have someone to help you sit down to supper for this. I really like the look of the spiral ham

Definitely looks good.

Haven't used my WSM in quite some time.With the weather looking up I should break it out for a cook.

Looking good. You can't go wrong with a WSM. I have the 18" and it's served me well for about five years now. Thinking about a 22" as there are some cooks that are just a bit too big for my 18"

My WSM hasn't seen the light of day in a year or more. Been using the kettles for everything. Your pork paradise has got me thinking to change that in a hurry.

Point for sure

Thanks. I think the 18” would have been fine for me but when I bought my first smoker, mes30 I regretted not getting the 40 and didn’t want to do that Again.

Thanks since I sold my Traeger in the fall I’ve been using my kettle to smoke also. It is easy just lose a lot of grill space with it. I almost didn’t get the WSM and was gonna stick with the kettle but I’m glad I pulled the trigger.

Great investment!
