I have been succesfully using a few wired units that I bought from Lowes. I just had one quit on me so I figured I would look into a nicer model. I will eventually get the cyberq but i dont feel like dropping that much cash. I am considering the Maverick so I can go in the house and watch some...
Sorry I am just seeing this post now. I bought a Master Forge smoker first before upgrading to the WSM. My first smoke was a shoulder. I had everything planned out. I would put it on around 330am and catnap for 30 minutes between checking and spritzing it. WRONG! The lack of venting on this...
The smoke turned out well. My brisket finished up earlier then expected but I was prepared. I had a hard time keeping my temp down around 260-270 where I wanted. It wanted to stay closer to the 300 range. This ended up working out fine. I took the brisket off and closed off all vents for an...
I am going to try this on Friday.
Corn on the Cob. (probably silver queen as its the more popular in eastern NC).
12 ears of corn.
1 lime (for juice)
4 table spoons of dried Cilantro (estimated, maybe more or less).
2 sticks of butter (light)
Either 1 teaspoon or 1/2 a teaspoon of Chili...
Sounds good. This will be a good test for me on the WSM. I am doing a brisket and some baby backs for my family that is coming into town this Friday. We plan to eat between 6 and 630 so my timing will be key here. My rib recipe is on point but this is my first whole brisket with the point. I...
Are you using any certain method like the Minion technique? Without too many details about your smoke its hard to say. I usually have a solid couple hours of fuel left when i finish smoking. I would read up on the Minion method and see if you are missing something when it comes to the amount of...
I have cooked a couple of brisket flats only because none of my local stores sell the entire brisket. Well, I went to Raleigh and picked up a whole brisket to smoke this coming Friday. Its a shade over 13 lbs. untrimmed. I did a couple shoulders on my old smoker which turned into a "no rest"...
Alright I have family coming into to town next weekend. I am smoking some baby backs and a brisket. I have done both seperately but not together. Are there any suggestions I should keep my eye out for or prepare for? I am planning the ribs on the top grate and the brisket on the bottom grate...
I have tried several different rub recipes and bbq sauces on my ribs. My wife likes less heat and a sweeter style sauce.
my rub was basically...
brown sugar
black pepper
smoked sweet paprika
little bit of cheyenne
little bit of chili
mustard powder
onion powder
garlic powder
kept it low on...
Ashton,
Good luck this weekend on the smoke. I am still a novice myself but have already tried several different recipes on my ribs including rubs and sauce. I had to find the perfect combination of sweet and heat for my wife. The WSM was definitely worth the money for me. I was smoking on a...
Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been reading a lot of the posts up here and learning as much as possible. I just purchased and tried out my first 22.5 WSM and love it. Previously I was using the Lowes special (Master Forge Green Bullet) smoker. It did the job but was not very good to...
