Hello from Wirral, UK

[Omertron]

Hi!

Whilst we are enjoying the unusual summer over her in England - there is Sun and it hasn't rained properly* in weeks, I thought I would make the most of it and start on my smoking journey.

I have purchased a WSM 57cm (22.5") and so far managed a small test cook of pulled and whole chicken (at the same time, both great) and brisket (good but not great, a little tough with little bark).

* Rain properly = All day rain, from the moment you get up to the end of the day everything is thoroughly soaked

Welcome to the site. We're a little rain deprived here also in New England.

Hi Stuart and welcome to the forum. There are a few of us from the UK who chat regularly on here and it is great that you have found us.

The WSM is a great smoker and is used by many of the teams at the UK BBQ competitions. You will be able to smoke some great food on there in quantity

I am not sure how much smoking you have done - though it sounds as if you have made a great start already. Next weekend the 4th Annual National Smokers Weekend is being held at Billing Aquadrome and if you can make it it would be great to see you. More details can be found here

I'd love to come, unfortunately busy that weekend, are there any other such events in the northwest at all?
