top grate bottom grate temps

[ga.rick]

hi folks just wondering if anybody knows what is the temp variance between top and bottom grates

on the 22.5 wsm. i have only smoked on the top. i am going to be doing a larger smoke using both grates.

thanks in advance.

good smokn !

Hey rick, it depends on whether u use the water pan or not.On mine i do use it and it keeps the bottom grate at around 15-25 cooler than the top grate...I usualy smoke at 250 dome temp..That way i know the bottom grate is around 230.. Now the people who dont use water in the pan or no pan at all ( clay saucer) report the opposite....Happy smokes..

thanks jaxg i do use water iv'e only smoked on mine twice one was chicken the other a picnic. 

that was the best chicken and pulledpork wev'e ever had. i have a propane converted ecb and

a newbraunsfel sfb , the wsm is easier to use and the finished product is much better (imho).

good smokn!
