    smoke ring trouble on 22.5" WSM...still

    i don't get it.  i've followed he minion method to the T.  I've done the KISS method exactly as spelled out in low & slow.  i know the smoke ring doesn't = flavor, but it will deduct points in appearance at the comp coming up.  why can't i get the smoke ring?  i use more wood chunks than either...

    anyone know about these?

    i'm going to get my father in-law an electric smoker for his birthday and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about these (Cajun Injector Electric Smokehouse).  i realize that most would suggest the 30" MES, but this was actually my wife's idea and his bday is on the 3rd.  their are no 30"...

    i want some cherry or maple

    My other Smoker Build

    ok, ok.  this "could" be a smoker, but i hope not.  once the smoke comes out, there's no putting it back in.  would be a waste of a couple thousand tax payer dollars.  i'm bored at work and i can only strip so many jumper wires before i need to take a little break.  this thing is really a...

    question for the WSM operators

    ...where is my smoke ring?  i have used the 22.5" WSM twice now and i love the simplicity of operation, but i'm missing the deep smokey flavor and smoke ring i use to get from my offset. i put 6 tennis ball sized chunks in the first smoke. i used almost 10 tennis ball sized chunks on the second...

    it's official...i'm a WSM nut

    i picked the new 22.5" WSM from Lowe's yesterday after the month long ordeal.  i know you don't really NEED to season the WSM, but...like i'm gonna get a new smoker and not do a test run.  i ran it with a full water pan and about 7 pounds of the Kingsford Hickory briquettes.  the charcoal was...

    HOLY CRAP! I'm in a cult now!

    well..more of a very dedicated advocacy group.  i ordered a 22.5" WSM as a late birthday present for myself.  the wife will not be happy, but with as easy as they are suppose to be to run, maybe she can use it and i'll use the offset for "spouse time".  smoking together is spending time...
