I finally got a WSM!!!
I know I'm jumping in this discussion late but with my WSM I foung the BBQ Guru eyelets to be the most useful. First of all there was no drilling needed so no worries about chipping the WSM. Second you don't need to worry about moving the theremometer when you move the lid when you raise the...- erik2173

New WSM!!
It depends if you're using lump or not. I have used only lump charcoal in my WSM but here is my procedure, which I'll admit is still a work in progress. I fill the charcoal ring up with unlit lump. How much I put in there depends on how long I need to keep the cook going. If am doing ribs I...- erik2173

New WSM!!
I've only had my WSM since October so I am by no means an expert, but did you have trouble with temp control? How did you start the charcoal. If you haven't already do a search on here for the Minion Method, to me it is the easiest way to get long controlled cooks of the WSM. The other advise...- erik2173

Habanero ABT's...I must be insane!

My first smoked turkey.
If you brine there is no need to inject the brine should be enough. I just did my practice bird on Sunday, and I used a small amount of apple and it seemed like the turkey absorbed more smoke that pork or beef has in the past. I've always read that turkey or chicken is alot easier to over smoke... -

Hello from the suburbs of Chicago
Well I went shopping last night and my decision was made for me. They were out of the salmon but had some decent looking baby back ribs, so now I know what the next smoke will be. The chuncks of hickory I have are about the size everyone is describing, the other woods are smaller, I just figure... -
Hello from the suburbs of Chicago
I think I'll take a trip to the store and just pick what looks good at the time, Unfortunately for me I'll be going to costco which usually has good ribs and really good wild salmon fillets so I don't know if it will be any help. The one thing I have had trouble finding in my area is good... -
Hello from the suburbs of Chicago
Thanks for the welcome. Now my biggest problem is figuring out what to smoke next. I'm leaning towards doing some more chicken, or maybe a turkey breast, but salmon sounds good too. I don't think I'm ready for an all night smoke yet, I need more practice with fire and temp control first. I... -
Hello from the suburbs of Chicago
Just wanted to do the customary introductions here. I just started on my Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker this past weekend. I tried a couple of times to make ribs to my liking on my Jenn-air grill and found I couldn't do it just right, and while I still love my stainless steel propane grill, I...
