Gene, thank you! This was much simpler, cooked the shoulder for about 2 hours at 290, sprayed with apple juice twice the last hour and let it rest for a half hour after taking it out. It was 170 and did the trick. Thank you again. This afternoon I'm doing ribs on my WSM 18.5, let me know any...

Hi guys, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now, back to cue! I'm hosting poker night and have a 5.5 lb shoulder that I smoked a few weeks ago. It's in 3 pieces. Took it out of the freezer Thurs morning and I was thinking crock pot on low for 4 hours with some of my homemade cider vinegar...

Thanks, guys! I will use Minion method and move my charcoal'from deck (in a storage bin, but outdoors nonetheless). Appreciate your quick replies.

Hi all. I've used my new WSM 4 times now, ribs 3 and pork butts once. All the meat has been outstanding, very happy as far as that goes. But I'm having the darndest time maintaining a temp level in the "smoke" range on the WSM thermometer and it's discouraging. I gave up my sidebox smoker for...

Hi guys, thanks for the nice welcome and assistance. I'm happy to report back first effort gets an enthusiastic grade and I can't wait to get back to it soon! :-) But must confess that I turned to gas grill for last 10 minutes (don't boot me yet). I smoked baby back ribs at around 200 for...

Excited to smoke some baby backs this afternoon, and I'm being lazy by starting here instead of just researching myself. If I want to sit down and start eating around 5, any recommendations on how long to cook and at what temp range...I'm thinking 3 hours on the grill - close? Thanks in advance!

I am totally new to WSM...moved in March so I gave my indirect smoker/coker to bro-in-law. Have now moved into new home and ready to smoke again! A colleague at work suggested the Weber "bullet" model and initially I dismissed his suggestion, a few weeks ago. Then I did some research, ended up...
