mini wsm

Had to take Mothers Day cook on the road so the mini came along for the ride. I love this little cooker. We used it to spin up a rack of pork with a half pair of OctoForks I wish we had brought more racks to cook...plenty of room for more. Juiciest tastiest pork chops ever, So addicting...

Long time gas and charcoal griller. Built a Mini-WSM a couple of years ago. Loved it but stepped up last year and bought a 18.5 WSM. Already did a few modifications to it. Added casters to the legs which makes it totally portable. Added a second charcoal grate and secured it using stainless...

Hello everyone! It's my first time posting, but I've been reading a lot on this site for the past few months and just finished painting my own mini WSM today! It was a really fun and easy project, but I'm sure it'll be even more fun to cook with and have some amazing meals. I'd really like to...

Greetings I am just starting my experience here on TVWBB but looking forward to hearing more about all the great things going on in the Grillin, Qin and Smokin world. I have owned my 22.5" on touch gold since around 1999 and added a weberQ 300 gas grill about 5 years ago and this year for my...

Been cooking on a Weber 22.5 pretty much my entire BBQ tenure. Just completed a Mini WSM build and joined up for info/tips. Little thing hold temp like a champ even on its first few cooks. I can see why these are such a hit on this forum. This is a short video on the first seasoning of my...

Going to do a smoked brisket tomorrow and a friend said he wanted to come over and watch the process because he is interested in buying a 14.5" WSM. Well, he doesn't want to get there at 4:30 for the fire up so I was going to modify the process and go HH. My Mini has a Gold for the base and no...

Thought I start the new year with some nice St. Louis ribs to break in my Mini's first cook... Started at 1:15 pm, Sunny California about 78 F, little windy.. lit 10 briquettes and we were on our way.. it settled to 250F-268F and went up an down through out the cook, pretty consistent for a...

Well, my awesome wife got me a tamale steamer for Christmas, so I finally started my Mini WSM build today. Please let me know if you have questions about my build. Hopefully it will help you with yours! I picked up a SJS from craigslist a few weeks ago for $8. I had literally been used one...

I'm looking to smoke two butt on my mini. I'm quite new to all of this, as I have only tackled 3 butts and 5 or 6 beer can chickens in the mini. I'm hoping to get advise on how to achieve success with this endeavor. My known variables are as follows: * I'm expecting the ambient temperature to...

I've read countless posts on building these and here is what I came up with for mine. Picked up a Smokey Joe Silver on clearance at Target, an Imusa pot at Walmart, and some hardware at Ace. I've seen a few people use a pie pan for a diffuser instead of a ceramic flower pot base. I went with...

I stumbled into BBQ when my crazy Russian next store neighbor built his own smoker from a recycled 55 gallon drum. the smells that wafted over the fence were amazing. After many shots of vodka (he taught me a way to avoid hangovers...kind of) and several baby back ribs my fate was sealed...

First, I want to thank everyone who has gone before me and shared their build. I'm a big believer in not reinventing the wheel so almost everything I did I stole from you guys. I really appreciate it. After going back and forth, I decided to go with the Smokey Joe "Gold". I thought I would...

Hi everyone I've had an 18" WSM for about 6 years just recently got rid of my gas weber grill and got a few more weber charcoal kettle grills and lately been reading up on the mini wsm all ready to start building one got a smokey joe gold and extra grate having trouble finding a 32 quart steamer...

Hello to all. A few months ago I turned my Smokey Joe in MiniWSM following the posts found in this forum. I found it very comfortable for smoking, certainly with its limitations. Here are some images of a Pulled Pork that I smoked for 15 hours at 220°F with 4 supplies of Kingsford briquettes...

I put together a mini a couple months ago, and have found it pretty useful when doing smaller cooks. Yesterday I did some pork steaks. I rubbed two pork steaks up with some Penzey's BBQ 3000. Wrapped them in plastic wrap, and put them in the fridge for several hours. I took them out, put them...

I just built my Mini WSM in the last couple of weeks and posted the details here... http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?41834-My-Smokey-Joe-Gold-Mini-WSM-Smoker-build-with-a-couple-of-twists I have now made it so I can put 4 grates in it. There is only 3" between each level. I would like to try...

So I am new to this forum and also to low and slow bbqing, not much of this type of cooking going on up here in Vancouver BC Canada. However alot of people do smoke salmon here and I have done a bit of that. I have read the many many posts and will try to start with some slight differences my...

Decided to try a stuffed pork loin on the Mini and watch some football on Sunday. Stuffed with dressing and some shrooms: Rolled it up tight and lathered with mustard and a brown sugar rub: Threw it on the mini with some apple wood: Finished with some homemade raspberry bbq sauce and...

So...it's a warm rainy day here in the Northern Alabama hills: a perfect day for cooking outdoors! :D I've not done a butt in the mini wsm yet so when we were stocking up at the grocery for a grandkid sleep over, I spied a nice 7#er way in the back of the meat case. I ran a test fit - look...

Hey everyone, I'm a long time visitor first time poster. I've been visiting the site over a year and built a mini wsm back last year. It has been used several times and is wonderful for camping trips. I've smoked several butts, turkeys and even peppers I fired it up today for a small butt and...
