    First brisket on new WSM w/Q-view!

    New WSM 18 with CyberQ. Did a rib smoke to warm up my technique, and today I had to do this brisket. Been in my fridge for a bit and it was SCREAMING at me to fire up that bad boy! So this AM I fired up the rig, dialed it in to 250ºF, put a very basic salt-and-pepper rub on the brisket, and...

    Bulk spice?

    As a tangent to this question; are there significant flavor differences between, for example, McCormick small jars of onion powder and costco-size jars? While bulk sounds good to me, I have no idea if I'd be sacrificing flavor/quality for price. Anyone?

    Gaps in WSM Door Assembly

    I put in the gasket kit and replacement latch available on Amazon and it worked great. Gasket sits on middle section for lid sealing as well as another where the door closes. Very little leakage there...

    First smoke in new WSM rig

    Been smoking on a GOSM gas smoker for several years. Finally took the plunge and got my WSM 18, along with the BBQ Guru CyberQ. Thursday I fired it all up for the first time for a break-in run. Everything worked the first time and it held at 275º +/- 10º for 12 hours on less than a half-load of...

    ISO baby back rbs perfection

    Already have the hinged grate. Picked up the baskets today at HD on sale. Brining a chicken now, cut into 2 legs and a whole breast. It will go on in an hour or so. Also have another slab of ribs in the fridge. Gotta give the wife a couple days off between rib cooks. :-)

    ISO baby back rbs perfection

    I am indeed looking at a pair of the baskets. I built a couple out of HD tinfoil and punched a bunch of holes in them to let ash through and it seemed to do OK. I also used 4 binder clips to hold the lid down tighter. Worked really well to prevent air leaks there. But I did something wrong with...
