On here since June of 2005... but haven't smoked anything since 2011 (around then)...so I've been out of the loop and ready to fire up my WSM. Back then Kingsford was old reliable and it would just go and go and go...no overnight worries...until.....the formula change. (To me the change was...

I read "Low and Slow" by Wiviott. He seems to see temp fluctuations during long cooks as a good thing. He feels it imparts flavors you might not get with stable temps across the length of a cook. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Ok...I put this in a new thread so that all will read who has a stoker...just in case this happens to anyone else...you'll not have to spend so much time sweating this out... For some reason after my Buffalo Ethernet Converter had some difficulties my Stoker would not accept a dynamic IP...

Ok...this is frustrating... I can not get the Stoker to pick up an IP address...I've connected directly with different ethernet cords to two different DHCP enabled routers...one router with two different firmware versions...the latest armed with "tomato" firmware...nada...all 000.000... The...

Ok... I have two well stored, large bags of the old school Competition Blend Wicked Good Charcoal...for those of you who've been around the past few years you know this stuff was almost perfection until it was discontinued due to a lack of source for the wood...unsurpassed burn time...(like -...

Hey all! Question...I've used the Mr. Brown technique for my Butts since getting my smoker a couple years back...with the only change being that now I've gone to using mustard to hold on the rub... Do butts really need to sit in the fridge overnight as per the Brown directions? Or, can I...

I just pulled out a frozen, vacuum packed portion of pulled pork I put away months ago...reheated it...and it was absolutely amazing...it had all kinds of hickory smoked flavor....just outstanding... I mention this because this was the first time I used hickory for a butt smoke (I typically use...

I use natural lump now but I'm interested in giving Duraflame briqs a shot...heard many good things concerning less ash and a loong burn time but availability is iffy...I have a chance at getting bags of both their regular or their hardwood briqs...which is best for a long butt cook?

Just for those who are interested...used The Stoker with Wicked Good Weekend Blend natural lump charcoal for a six rack rib cook...used Minion with oak and cherry wood... The cook went fantastic over the course of 6.5 hours (my wife likes ribs over done - typically, I'd run the cook a bit...

Ok, I watched a show on Memphis in May and one man talked about cooking his pork butt at 210 for nearly 24 hours...this leads to some questions for the "experts" out there... 1) Will the product be significantly better if you use a lower temp. for a longer period of time? 2) Will the product...

Well, I finally got around to trying Wicked Good's Warriors Blend lump charcoal which nobody seems to have tried on a long cook on these forums. For those living in a cave these past 6 months, the much loved, super long cooking, Competition Blend lump can no longer be bought so some folks have...

Can I store brined chicken for half a day to a day in advance of my cook or do I need to get it into my WSM as soon as possible?

Ok, I scored the last six 20lb bags of the old Kingsford at Walmart last evening...but I'm in the market for Royal Oak to give it a try... I live in Frederick, MD...where can I find RO in my area?...RO of any variety will be fine but I'd especially like to try the briquettes... I'm willing to...

My wife is from Memphis and loves Leonard's pulled pork sandwiches topped with their mustard slaw (so do I!)...no other slaw seems to fit after we tried Leonard's slaw including others in Memphis...it is an outstanding compliment to the pork and we've tried many other styles including vinegar...

I've received two 22lb bags of Wicked Good Competition Lump...from what I understand it's a loooooong burning lump but "heck" to light...does anyone have experience using Wicked Good Lump in their WSM? What's the most effective way to light it?
