    First Cook with WSM 22.5 (Weber Smoky Mountain 22.5")

    Just made the same move. Placed my order for the WSM 18.5" this morning. Should I expect a learning curve? I had finally gotten the hang of my Chargriller. Did a pork butt last weekend and temps got high enough and held steady for probably about 5 hours. Granted, that was after the smokestack...

    2nd attempt at butts

    Thanks, Piney! It's a little drier than I wanted, but I think that'll be remedied once the sauce goes on. The ABTs turned out amazing though. Best batch I've made since the first time I made them. I have to wait another 2 hours for a friend to get over here. He's bringing a shoulder that he...

    2nd attempt at butts

    Thanks for the tips. It looks like it's legitimately cooking through. It's a boneless, so I'm okay on that front. I had tested the thermometer about a month back and it checked out. Switched spots in the meat and the temp registered the same. I flipped it, so that slowed cooking a bit. Plus...

    2nd attempt at butts

    The first time I did butts, I learned about the plateau and the fact that a 9-12 hour smoke could go 14-16 when you are having a hard time keeping a temp above 205. This time, my 2 butts weighing a total of ~17 lbs went on at 6AM, and 4 1/2 hours later, one is up to 185. My temps have been...
