Hi fellow BBQers. I've always enjoyed cooking outdoors and really like making tasty food for my friends, but haven't really had a house large enough to be able to entertain in. We moved a couple of years ago to a larger, nicer house and bought a new Weber Genesis as a gift for myself. Last summer I BBQed an 11lb pork shoulder in the gas grill with a wood chip box for a large group everyone loved it, but I found it hard to cook burgers, sausage & veggies while I had a big chunk of meat smoking on the gas grill, so this year I got a WSM, at the recmondation of a friend. So far I have done at a turkey breast, a whole chicken and a brisket. I have had problems regulating the temp and I'm looking for a solution to how much charcoal to load, for how long of a cook and how high of a temp I need.

Welcome! I just joined myself, and I have found the search bar is the most useful thing. It guides me allover these extensive forums.
 
Hello and welcome to the SMF, from a sunny and hot East Texas. You will find lots of great information and good people here. Look through the different forums and post and see if that doesn't help Poultry I always check the internal temp, As far as how much charcoal to use it depends on your smoker. I have a basket I usually start with about 4 to 5 lbs give or take to get things heated up nicely when my coals are ready I add a split of would and go from there add charcoal and wood as needed to maintain  225º in my cook chamber.
