Hello all
Decided out of the blue to pick up smoking as a hobby since it sounds like a manly thing to do.
Web research and conversing with co-workers pointed me to the WSM as the best all around smoker, especially for a novice so picked up the 18.5" model and some hickory chunks.
Made my first pork butt (screwed up as I was trying to make pulled pork, but excellent sliced pork), chickens (phenomenal), turkey legs (undercooked) and eggs (easy and subtle taste).
My only question, and may seem dumb. Where do you guys toss out the contents of your water bowl after smoking? I don't want to pour it on my lawn because I think the grease will attract critters and kill my grass. Don't want to pour it down the drain because I have a septic tank and was advised to minimize oily fluids.
Thanks alot and it's been a great experience so far!
