I recently saw this done by one of the participants on a BBQ Pitmasters show I watched. They turned the point into burnt ends. I just did a brisket last Friday so think I'll try this in a few weeks and see how it works.

Does anyone split their brisket into point and flat before cooking to accomodate the size of your grill. I have had my 18.5 WSM for a year and the food it produces has been outstanding. In January I am going into full retirement and going to travel the country and live full time in my Motor...

I'm not sure I understand what effect a hinge for the lid would have to do with the temperature change. Nor can I fathom what I am missing out on not having one. What affect does it have on the taste of the item I am cooking? For now I just set the lid on the ground and it seems easier to have...

Thanks for the responses and questions. Thank you for the many responses and suggestions to look at. I use Kingsford Charcoal in the blue bag. I figure the best is to always use the same charcoal to eliminate that variable. I used the same method I always do for lighting when doing my boston...

In the winter I will do two large butts in crockpots with liquid smoke. What isn't eaten I will freeze enough for a meal for us in plastic containers. When we want pulled pork we thaw the container in the frig for a couple of days and warm them in the microwave. They seem to be just as good as...

just go my first one, an 18.5 with shipping damage for $80.00. Just needs a little touch up paint on a couple of paint chips and I used a rubber mallet to make the center section round. did two chickens yesterday for first use and I should have got one of these a long time ago.
