    Am i over thinking this darn thing?

    Ok, so a couple years ago i started a UDS.  It had the dreaded red liner.  I burnt, wire wheeled, sweated, cussed, and finally gave up.  Partly because the Craigslist gods opened up and dropped a new 18.5 WSM in my lap for $100.  I scrapped that barrel with a smile and have enjoyed my WSM very...

    Question for you guys with smokers on your decks

    I recently bought an 18.5 WSM and i have put it on my (wood) deck. I put it up on concrete blocks to get it a little further off the boards for heat reasons, and it doesnt even get very hot under the heat deflector anyway. But my question is on when using your chimney. I have an old ECB that...

    WSM quick question
