Thanks for the heads up, offer still is good. It was my first order from Pfaltzgraff so I signed up for their email list and received an additional 15%, however I didn't get that 20% friends and family coupon you received.
I have the pot for building a Mini WSM, but haven't had the time yet. Might be a winter project. With the news of the 14.5 coming out though I might have to consider that, however the fun of building a mini will probably win out. I ended up using a lot of charcoal for just one butt, so I'd...
I just did my first butt yesterday and tried to keep temps around 275, but it got up to 300 at one point. I didn't use water, just foiled the pan. 8.5lb butt ended up being on the WSM 7 hours. I wrapped it when it reached 165* so that might have kept it cranking along. Pulled it from the...
As I posted earlier I picked up a 22.5 WSM but was in the middle of recovering from ankle surgery. Well the cast is off, and I'm able to move around almost perfect in my walking boot. Decided it was time to put the WSM to work.
I picked up a 8.5lb Butt at Walmart and while it took up just...
Thanks everyone!
Since I joined I've picked up a 22.5 WSM. However its still in the garage since I'm recovering from ankle surgery and I can't walk without crutches yet. Hoping to get the cast removed this coming Tuesday and I'll be in a walking boot after that.
Looking forward to the...
Thanks everyone, recovery is coming along alright but too slow for me :)
I appreciate the advice about seasoning vs. not seasoning. Glad to hear seasoning isn't necessary, I think I'll just jump in to my first cook. August 6th the cast comes off and I'll be in a walking boot. Hoping I'll be...
I'm currently recovering from ankle tendon surgery and will be in a cast with no weight bearing for another 2 weeks. While being laid up I've had more time to spend on the computer and ended up buying a 22" WSM. The eBay seller had a great price, plus free shipping. I also had a 10% off...
My 22.5 was delivered this morning but I'm in a lower-leg cast and on crutches another 3 weeks. Gonna be tough to not open her up! At least I'll have time to do some planning.
Thanks everyone, I think I'll move forward with cutting off the bottom. Yeah sorry I should have been clear that I wasn't going to cut off the entire bottom :) I'll probably leave close to a 1" lip.
Originally my plan was to cut many 1" holes with a hole saw, but now I'm leaning towards just removing the entire bottom of the pot.
What are people's opinions and pro vs. cons of each method?
I'm just gathering the parts for building my mini WSM. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but when do you do 2 butts do you put them both on the same rack or do you have multiple racks in the mini that you put meat on?
Thanks,
Bob
