22" WSM - Parkland Florida
I have a 5 year old 22" WSM that I just don't use. The smoker itself is in pretty good shape, If I was buying this I'd replace all the grates. You will definitely need to replace the cover. You would have to pick this smoker up in Parkland Florida. You would pay me no money. What I want is the...- rastafas

Smoking on a weber kettle
I smoked for years with a Weber Kettle. The way Chopsaw has his 26 set up works just as good in a 22. Search for "weber snake method" on youtube, you will find lots of videos showing how to set it up in detail. I easily would get 10+ hour smoke times. You will love cooking on Kettle!- rastafas

Post Snake Method questions
I think you will get a longer burn time if you use Royal Oak briquettes (or the Walmart or Home Depot version of them). I'd get at least 10 hours out of a full snake and it wasn't unusual to get 11 or 12, but I'm in South Florida, so chilly weather usually isn't a problem.- rastafas

Kingsford Briquettes vs. Royal Oak Ridge Briquettes: Burn Temperature, Time, and Ash Comparison
So I smoked a pork butt on my kettle this weekend, using the snake method and the much reviled Kingsford Pro charcoal. Outside temperature was 75 degrees with little wind. My snake kept the kettle right around 250 at the food grate for about 10 hours, with minimal fussing around with the top...- rastafas

Beef Round Botom Rump Roast Directions
I just did a 4.5 pound one in a weber kettle on Sunday. Kept the kettle between 325 and 350. I used 1 chunk of apple wood, that I kept about 1/2 inch from the coals. I used a very sparse rub of CBP, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. I used a shallow roasting pan, with a rack to keep the... -
Grilled Sausage Bombs
Sorry, I don't own a camera, so no grill-view. Mrs Rastafas was out of town, and I was looking for something quick and tasty to grill. Didn't feel like burgers or wings or my normal "go to quick eats", so I grabbed a chub of sausage on the way home from work. I cut it into patties, set the...- rastafas

Smokenator Question
Steve, Don will for sure help you smooth out your cooks with the smokenator. He helped me a lot with mine, and I finally get consistent temps with it. Mine comes up to temp in about 1/2 hour. I was having trouble with the temperature spiking, but in my case it was a nasty wind combined with...- rastafas

Smokinator1000
I get very good results using my smokenator, and Don (the seller of them) is very helpful. I get a very stable temperature. That said, using this setup, I'm now pretty locked in to finishing my butts and briskets in the oven. You get a nice long initial burn (with mine 4 - 6 hours) but after...- rastafas

FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)
Wow. I finally got around to making a batch of this stuff. I don't think "Finishing Sauce" does it justice. Magic Juice is a better name. I smoked two 6# picnics today, and I've never seen a batch of que vanish so quickly. If you haven't tried some this on a batch of pulled pork, you are missing...- rastafas

De-Lurking in South Florida
SlickRat, I live north of Ft Lauderdale. This is the most helpful online community I've visited, and I've seen plenty. I've only used my smokenator 5 times so far, since I'm pretty much limited to smoking on the weekends, but I'm 4/5 on ending up with really tasty meat. Next weekend I'm going... -
De-Lurking in South Florida
Howdy All! I've lurked here for a few weeks and have picked up a bunch of good info. I only have a Weber kettle with a Smokenator, but I've been getting pretty darn tasty results with it. Got up at 5am today and started 2 baby chuck roasts (about 4 pounds each). Used a simple rub and no mop...
