When I use kingsford I put chunks of wood in for flavor. I use the 365 brand lump too. It is a hardwood, so I also add chunks of wood to add smoke. I have used mesquite lump too.How much smoke flavor if any is in kingsford briquettes? I have only cooked with lump charcoal. anyone use lump in a Mini WSM?
i super glued some dowels to the magnets on my intake holes. I moved a couple of the magnets just a little bit more open and the temp went up about 10 degrees. I thought I could walk away from this thing and come back later but I am so use to tending to my nbbd that I cant stay away. plus lets face it when you are smoking meat is there really anything better to do then hang out around the pit? neflix, tv, exercise? no thanks. I think I will just close down a vent and open a vent all day until my imaginary food is ready.
I just have two grates with a therm in between. There is less difference at lower temps and increases as the temps get higher. Typically it's about 15 degrees...i am interested to know what the temp differences are between the three grates. right now I just have a gauge right below the middle grate. when I get more $$$ I will add more. three temp gauges would look so cool.
