    GRADUATION BUTTS

    Well, i did the marathon BUTS last weekend, 8 total in 2 days. About 75lbs of pork prior to smoking. Did my usual prep and smoke period, then changed it up. Put 2 butts in a foal pan, added a half of a beer and covered them up. Opened all the vents on the WSM for the last few hours. Brought them...

    How Many BUTTS have you stuffed into the 22 for a single smoke?

    Kids grad party is coming up and I am doing butts on the WSM 22. I am planning on 8 butts, and want to jam 4 into the WSM at a time. Havent done this before so I am not sure if my smoke data will apply with cook times and temps. I am thinking it may take longer and more fuel. Looking for some...

    WSM in Michigan

    I did 2 spatchcock chickens in the WSM last weekend. Exterior temp was 50 degrees, a bit windy. With all my vents open all the way, I couldnt hit 275 at the top rack. I need a simple method for insulating the WSM now that our weather has turned. Is the welding blancket the way to go? If so, any...

    1st Brisket

    My first brisket is on. Got a 15ln packer from the butcher, that was the smallest one they had. Trimmed fat off of the top, left the cap as is, but scored it every inch like a checker board. Kosher salt applied and in the fridge overnight. Got the beef broth injection this morning, and applied...

    So last weekend I did my second round of pork BUTTS, this time with bone in. I followed a different process, and the results were outstanding. However, I can always do better so I have a question. Here is what I did: I got 2 9lb butts from the meat store for under $1 per pound ! Bone in, great...

    WSM on the deck??

    As i write this i have 2 whole chickens going over Stubbs and pecan. I have an elevated deck, and the WSM is on a concrete pad in the yard. Its getting old running up/down to baste, check temps etc. Does anyone have their WSM on a wood deck? If so, what do you do to protect the deck from the WSM...

    WSM FUEL

    So the big variable for me is fuel choices. I have tried KBB, Stubbs, Royal Oak lump, and Kingsford Competition. Haven't tried any others due to availability at the local stores (i am always on the hunt for coal!). Also, all smokes have been setup with the original Minion method. KBB-ok for...

    RIBS RIBS RIBS

    Well, I this is the 3rd spare rib cook, and by far the best yet. I am sticking now to one cook plan and modifying based on results, suggested tweaks and other info here. This time I reduced the crutch time to one hour (with agave and apple juice added to the crutch), and that did the trick...

    1st Smoke on the 22.5 WSM

    OK...this was my first smoke, baby backs. I used Stubbs charcoal briquettes and hickory for smoke. Set up was the doughnut with a half chimney of red hot coals with 3 chunks of wood. The temp came up quick so I had to close the lower vents 3/4 shut and the top vent the same to get below 250 at...
