Let me start off by saying I love My WSM. That being said five years ago my son gave me an electric oil less Tuckey fryer for Christmas. I have been using that ever since for my turkey. Only time of year I pull it out. First I brined the turkey then rinsed off and dried. Injected and made a...

After 12 years I finally decided my WSM needed a little more mobility.

Had water in pan and had old country thermometer installed at top grate level. I used the maverick the first two cooks and it was consistent with the old country thermometer. Didn't use it on the last cook.

I usually run 225-350 depending on the meat with water pan 2/2 to 3/4 full

I had 3/4 unlit in basket topped with 3/4 lit in Weber chimney Minion method three chunks cherry wood.

The last three smokes on my 18.5 WSM I have had trouble reaching 225 degrees at the grate level. It would only get up yo 212. I opened all the vents wide open. Still only 212 for the entire cook of baby back ribs. As the cook was coming to an end the temps started to rise to over 300. I was able...

I have been using my WSM for seven years now and loving it. With the ease of operation I don't see why you would want any other smoker. I have a question that has been in the back of my mind for a while. When I use the WSM after the smoke the inside of the cover and side of the middle part is...

It seems that the older I get the brain farts come with more regularity.

Was smoking some baby backs on the WSM for the fourth(actually did them on the third). Set up the smoker and lit coals as I usually do. The temps ran at 225-250 for an hour before I put the ribs on. After I put them on and was running for a while i noticed the temperature showing on my maverick...

We recently received a gift card for Omaha Steaks. I ordered some steaks and the came in yesterday. Only problem the dry ice had melted and the steaks had thawed out. They still felt pretty cold to the touch so I put them in the freezer and called Omaha Steaks and they are sending me a new...
