    more brisket advice???

    I took 3 cups of tallow and added some rosemary, 3-4 gloves of garlic and put it on the smoker for 3 hours. Used some in my eggs and it was amazing. Going to use it on a few elk steaks tonight!

    more brisket advice???

    Has anyone tried seasoning the tallow before injecting? I was debating on tossing in some garlic and onion powder along with maybe some Worcester and soy sauce, mixing it all up and injecting it into the brisket.

    WSM door leaking

    The one that’s giving me the problem is the 22.5. My 18 door was and is great and I never had an issue with it. I’ve read about the Cajun door and people still seem to have leaks with it. I’d rather not spend $40+ for a door that still leaks even if it’s minor. The more I look around it seems...

    WSM door leaking

    Believe it or not the tin foil gasket I made above fixed the issue completely. I went from not being able to control temps and leaking a ton of smoke to working great after adding this. It totally saved the day. I’m going to order a gasket today and add it this weekend if I have time.

    WSM door leaking

    Tried to bend it a few times and it didn’t work out so well. I’m thinking I may start with a gasket instead of upgrading the doors. I used a mackshift gasket for the time being lol

    WSM door leaking

    Anyone have any issues with the door of their WSM leaking? I’ve only had this one for a few months and cooked on it maybe 5-6 times. I’ve had issues controlling the temps and from what I can see it has to be the door. Is there a quick fix for this?

    New Weber 22” issues

    I never had any issues with my 18 at all. The more I look into this issue with the 22.5 it seems pretty common. I just added another bag and it does look like the door has a decent leak on one side. I’m trying to flex it into place and not having much luck. Would you guys suggest a gasket or a...

    New Weber 22” issues

    Had all 3 vents on the bottom closed for the last half hour and the temp went from 300 to 315. I’m closing the top half way now.

    New Weber 22” issues

    There’s a breeze but nothing I haven’t dealt with before. I have tried for about 10 cooks and I can’t control the temps on it at all. It’s frustrating.

    New Weber 22” issues

    I started with 5 briquettes in the center of it. Then I waited until 175 to shut down 2 of the 3 vents and it keeps soaring.

    New Weber 22” issues

    I got a 22 WSM a few months ago and for some reason I just can’t get the temp below 300 degrees. I fired it up tonight and when it hit 175 I closed 2 of the 3 baffles and left the 3rd opened about 1/8 of an inch and it STILL got up to 300. I never had issues with my 18” even when it was new. I...

    Smoked blue cheese

    i just found a wedge of blue cheese that I smoked from 3/2015 in the fridge. It’s been vacuum sealed the entire time and I was wondering if it’s still any good to use? Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.  So should I pressure wash it at all and use soap?  If so what kind?

    Mold in WSM-What soap to use?

    I recently opened my WSM and noticed quite a bit of mold on the inside.  With week 1 coming up I have a party and wanted to make sure it was cleaned before cooking for everyone.  I burned a ring full of charcoal today and scrapped everything off of the inside.  My plan was to take a pressure...
