After three cooking sessions my WSM finally seems to be 'seasoned'. I cooked up 6 rings of country sausage using John Willingham's recipie this past weekend. Finally got the temps down to where they should be. This weekend is a brisket and more sausage. Gawd this thing is addicting lol. Oh,and don't think I'm the only one eating it all. I give most of it away. You want to talk about happpy friends.
