Difference in charcoals in a WSM
Very weird. I will have to use it again. The wind must be the beast ruining it for me. The temps I am smoking at is usually around 225 but after the 3 or 4 hour mark that temperature just burns out and drops to 180 and will not rise from there until they're all burnt out. This is using the water...- michaelpm

Difference in charcoals in a WSM
I have been using the minion method. I think the charcoal i've been buying is just burning too hot. That or the wind is causing the coals to burn a lot hotter and faster and the heat just isn't being retained inside the WSM. I had huge fluctuations. I should give it a try in february on a nice...- michaelpm

Difference in charcoals in a WSM
Hello, I bought a 22.5 WSM and had very poor success with it last summer. I used it 3 times and was not able to get a sufficient burn time of more then 4 hours. I was using about 13lbs of briquette charcoal by Royal Oak and it just burned through it insanely fast. It was a very windy summer...- michaelpm

New WSM 22.5 question about fuel consumption
Yeah the wind was pretty ridiculous it hasn't stopped yet it actually caused a fire to burn through 2/3rds of a small town not top far from where I live. I bought a new house so I probably won't be using my smoker again for at least 3 weeks. Can't wait to try it with favorable conditions...- michaelpm

New WSM 22.5 question about fuel consumption
Well i've cooked a few shoulders now and never had them be at such a low temp in that period of time. I was using the dome thermomemter. Which also filled up with condensation pretty quickly. It seemed odd for me to have used as much charcoal as I did. Maybe it's just the type i'm using. I was...- michaelpm

New WSM 22.5 question about fuel consumption
Hey Everyone, I bought a Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5" last week used it for the first time yesterday. I noticed I burned a lot of charcoal, very quickly and had extremely poor temperature control.

First time smoking brisket. Few questions
Awesome. Thanks for the help. My Final concern is that the brisket I get should be about 8lbs. But I dont have 12 hours+ to cook it. I wont even receive it in time to eat it. If I cut it, into two 4lb pieces of brisket will this take the cook time down to 6+ hours? Or does that not apply and it... -
