    Basic WSM charcoal guidelines

    So I just finished putting together my shiny new 18.5" WSM. I'm brand spanking new to charcoal smoking and am curious whether anyone could help me out with some general guidelines for how much charcoal I will need for different meats (baby backs, pulled pork, whole chicken). I know it can be...

    Flying my flag at half mast today....

    Went out to start up my MES yesterday to do some ribs....plugged it in and pushed the power button.........nothing. Tried a different outlet......nothing. Admittedly I haven't used it a lot lately but I'm certainly bummed that it's gone the way of the dodo. My guess is that it's just the...

    $4.59/pound

    So I go to a local butcher shop the other day and pick up a beautiful 10 lb pork butt that is currently in the smoker and out of curiousity I ask how much they charge per pound for brisket? The guy calmly looks at me and says, "That's be $4.59 per pound." $4.59 PER POUND?!?!?! Bear in mind...

    The Labour Day Weekend Smoke - Q-view to follow

    So far I've got a small prime rib, some chicken drumsticks and a meatloaf planned and I may have room for a picnic roast as well. I've got a MES so there's only so much room. Admittedly it's been about a month since my last smoke (don't beat me) and I'm looking forward to it. Supposed to be 75...

    My second foray......

    Well after getting some ribs and a fatty behind me a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd whip up a meatloaf for sandwiches at work. I only used beef as that's all we had in the freezer and I thought of making this last night at 23:30 after looking at the porn in this thread. So I get up this...

    My first foray.....

    I guess it was almost two weeks ago now that I cooked up this food but better late than never. It was two days after I bought my MES since I needed the first day to season it. For my first foray into the world of smoked food I thought I'd go cheap in case anything went wrong so I bought a...

    Pesticides?

    Hey folks, Just a quick question..... There is an orchard within 2 km of my house which I thought might be a good source for some apple wood but I was wondering if I should be concerned about possible pesticides that have been sprayed on the trees during the past growing season(s)? I guess...

    Has anyone tried it? I imagine it would be great spread on bread.

    G'day folks

    Hey there, I'm relatively new to the world of smoking meat having only done a limited amount using home-made foil pouches of chips on my gas-fired bbq. I'm looking into picking up an electric smoker to help move to the next level. This site looks like a GREAT resource for me and anyone who...
