    Greetings from Central Florida

    I've been smoking for about 20 years now, first with a modded Lowe's Char-Griller, now with a Weber Smokey Mountain. I typically do birds, but a nice London Broil goes a long way. One thing I have no experience with is using the water pan. I always do straight smoke - 275 or so for short...

    Pulled the trigger and picked up a Weber Smokey Mountain (18")

    Good afternoon all. I just picked up a WSM 18". Woo-Hoo! I am already defrosting some gorgeous St Louis ribs that will be my very first cook on my new toy. I never cooked on a WSM before, but have been watching some videos to get some pointers on what to do. Any tips that anyone can give me...

    What is the difference between a pit barrel smoker and a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker

    I've been looking to pick up yet another smoker and these two seem to be very similar in how they smoke food. Does anyone know the pros, cons, and differences between the two? Peace

    The WSM 22, Signals, Billows and the Cold!

    Hey all! I was just wondering if anyone is running a setup like this. I have a WSM 22 that I've had for a couple of years, and recently added Thermoworks Signals and the Billows to try to make temp management simple. Does anyone have this setup, and if so, how successful has it been for you...

    Is this typical of electric smokers?

    Hello, I just converted my Weber Smokey Mountain to electric. I have an old Ranco controller that I used for home brewing (max 220F). Right now I only plan to use for sausage, so that shouldnt be an issue. Is it typical for electric smokers to cycle this widely? The controller is set to a 1...

    Smoking Homemade Bratwurst without casing...

    I have never done this but am excited to make my own brats with pork and beef and smoke them. I don't like casings so am going to form "logs" (maybe the shape of a Twinkie) and smoke them. My plan is to refrigerate after forming so they can firm up, then place them on the smoker and likely...

    Arcid taste in meat, especially chicken, please help!

    Hello! New member here. I use a 18" Weber Smokey Mountain and usually do pork ribs and full chickens. I use Kingsford Charcoal and Kingsford Wood Chunks (not chips). All of my smokes, and especially chicken smokes, tend to have an arcid, "campfirey" taste to them, similar to what your clothes...

    Smoking at altitude

    I moved from NY to CO last spring. I’ve been smoking with my Smokey Mountain for about four years. With the exception of one time when I tried to smoke with -10 degree wind chills for the Super Bowl, I never had any trouble getting my smoker up to temp in New York. ...then I moved to a...

    Maiden Voyage Weekend - WSM 22 - Labor Day

    Hey SMF Community! I just wanted to post the results of my first smoker weekend, with lots of help from the forums here. I owned a very horrible smoker at a rental house about 9 years ago, and did some edible smokes with it, but recently built a deck for my wife and myself on our house, and...

    WSM Cart Ideas

    Hello all, I've got a WSM 18 and am interested in making some modifications. One of the things I'm thinking about is making a cart with casters for it. I've seen a video on YouTube of how to make one for a 22, but was just curious if anyone has done one themselves. If so, would there be any...

    Double Feature - Crowd Cow Unboxing - Reverse Sear Ribeye on Mini Weber Smokey Mountain

    If you would like to jump directly to the cook and skip the unboxing jump to 6:40. I ordered some beef online. First time ever but it looked really really good. Pound for pound this is actually a little cheaper for me to purchase 100% grass fed and grass finished beef from Crowd Cow (averaged...
