First smoke with my new mini WSM.  Had a bit of an issue with temps running a little hot, was shooting for 250 F. Still turned out pretty darn good.  8 lb pork butt on for 8.5 hours with applewood, smoker temps 250 to 275, taken to IT of 202 degrees.

New to the forum. Built my mini wsm about two months ago, thought I would share some delicious pics..

This was my first smoke...tritip and some corn



This was #2 sitting chicken...


Then I took a shot at some carnitas style shoulder for taco's



Forgot to take pics of the ribs I did last weekend....they were good though!

Now I am hungry.
 
Second smoke on my mini. Spur of the moment I decided to try my first Pork Shots. The cheap bacon I bought was a little to cheap, as when I opened it up the strips were all to pieces. I managed to find enough that were long enough to make 11 shots, so I rubbed the rest of the Kielbasa and threw it on with the shots.

Getting ready to pull. Sorry, no flash on my phone.

Tagalong... how are you liking the Mini ?? can i ask what you use to monitor temps ? do you use a diffuser ?? how long did you cook the pork shotz ?? how did you like them ?? the reason I'm asking is... they look a little over done... maybe cooking to hot... or to long....
 
I agree that they look overdone. I have a Maverick 732, but didn't use it on this cook since I knew it would be a quickie. I'm still learning my heat management on the mini and was probably running a little hot as they were on less than 2 hrs. I'm using the steamer insert as a diffuser.

After trying them, I would say they are slightly overdone, but still good. I like my bacon crispy anyway.

Tried a little Stout Pepper Beef yesterday....

Rubbed and ready...2 lb Chuck Roast


Kitty knows what's up...


a bit of hickory and some left over apple wood


and away we go....


meanwhile in the kitchen...mini bell peppers, onion, garlic, jalapeno


everyone sliced up and in the pool...


12 oz of stout..1 oz of werchestichirserieserewsetrstser


Holding at 250...smelling good


3 hours later....


roast off and into foiled pan. was glad to find one a pan that would fit in the mini, had to bend the edges but it worked.


3 hours later...pulled apart...then back on the mini...it probably could have kept going another hour, I had to "PULL" it apart as it wasn't completely fork tender yet...that would likely have been 2 hours longer. but I was getting hungry :)


1.5 hour later...I pulled the foil with about 30 minutes left to get the juice to reduce a bit. You can imagine how awesome this smells!


Toasted my favorite rolls on the mini for about 5 minutes..cheese on the top and bottom

lighting in my kitchen makes everything look yellow?


MMMMMMMMMMM......that is one good sammie!


I pushed this a bit...I think if I gave the whole cook 10 hours the roast would have pulled apart around the 8 hour mark. But I was hungry...and so was Kitty!
