Party Pork
The week has finally come. Heading over to Sam's today over lunch to pick up a case of pork butts to smoke for a party this Saturday evening. Looking for 60-70lbs in the case. It'll be my first time firing up both my 22.5" and 18.5" WSMs at the same time AND the most meat I've smoked at one... -
New (used) addition!
So by some struck of luck I found a guy 20 miles from me selling his 2yr old WSM 18.5" for $150. Found his ad the night he posted and sent him an email the next morning. Within 24hrs had it in the van rolling home! I don't think its ever been cleaned is the only draw back. I'm trying to...- coryb

22.5 WSM Pork Capacity...
I've had my 22.5" WSM for a few years now and in regards to smoking pork I've done 4 bone in butts totaling 34lbs (roughly 8.5lbs each). Took about 10-12hrs by the time they were all done running heat between 235 and 250. My question is am i pressing my luck with choking off my smoker if I... -
First ?Christmas meal of 2014...
Pulled out the WSM and dropped on a 14lb turkey at 11:30 this morning for dinner at 5 tonight. Last night I slathered the meat under the skin with Tony Chacc and injected with creole butter and a tiny touch of Frank's mixed in. I've done 1/2 dozen turkeys or so at this point, but this one... -
Pork Candy?
I could search harder on the forums to find this answer, but don't beat on me too bad for just asking...what the heck is pork candy? -
Thanksgiving turkey breast
As usual with me no Q-view, but started an 8lb turkey breast on my WSM 22.5" at 6:30am. It was 8 degrees when the meat went on and an hour later it was 1 degree here in Prairie City, IA. Its back up to 4 degrees i see and the meat is moving right along. Tried something new and got a 48" tall... -
Hint of heat?
So I've smoked a few turkeys over time and have always had great results from injecting with Tony Chacerie's creole butter injection. I just got finished injecting that into an 8lb turkey breast my in laws are having me smoke for tomorrow to go with their ham for Thanksgiving. I have another... -
short probe cables or just me?
I have 2 Maverick ET-732's. Both work great. One of the best things that ever happened to me using the smoker in fact. I do have a complaint though. When I smoke meat on the top rack of my 22.5" WSM the meat probe cable is just long enough for me to set the base on an upside down bucket...- coryb

The last several years my wife and I have hosted Thanksgiving at our place for her immediate family and I've smoked turkey and we've all enjoyed it as its the best turkey ever, right? Anyway, this year the inlaws are hosting as the rest of my wife's step brothers and sisters will be coming... -
craptastic brisket
I'm well on my way into destroying a perfectly good trimmed 10.5lb packer brisket. Got the meat on my 22.5 WSM right at 7am. By 8am had the smoker finally holding right in the range of 200 according to the lid therm. I struggled getting it up there as I have to set up in the driveway on... -
Brisket and Pork for party
Lit up a few coals and filled the charcoal pan in my WSM this morning and put it all together with a 13.44lb Choice grade Angus brisket and two 7.5lb pork butts at 2am. Smoker hovered around 215-225 from 2am-3am so i went to bed. Got up and checked at 6am and the smoker was closer to 240-245... -
Rocketing through charcoal in WSM 22.5"
So I'll fill the charcoal pan in my WSM 22.5", dump about 3/4 of a small chimney starter of lit coals on top of the unlit coals, assemble the smoker, get the heat up between 220 and 250 on the gauge in the lid and add the meat. Temp will fluctuate a bit as expected with having the lid off and...- coryb

Impossible to smoke
I've found since owning this Brinkmann Gourmet charcoal smoker the impossibility of finding a workable middle ground. When i first got it, it was nearly impossible to keep the charcoal burning. I drilled holes in the charcoal pan and added 4 stainless steel bolts perpendicular from each other to...- coryb

smokin' in the cold...
Just put 4 four pound chickens on the Brinkmann about 1/2 hour ago. I brined 2 of them and rubbed the other two just as tasty experiments. I tend to have issues keeping the smoker temp around 225-250 so i dumped a small chimney started of lit, prepared coals on one side of the charcoal pan... -
smoke in IA
Hello! I got a Brinkmann 'Gourmet' (HA!) charcoal smoker for my birthday last Fall and started smoking right away. Love it! I've done(ruined) some beef spare ribs, pork roast and a ton of chicken. I've gotten a lot of advice from this site and thought it would be nice to join officially and...
