hmmm... barbacoa. There is a good little mom and pop shop down the street from my work that make good barbacoa burritos. Sometimes a bit too greasy but hey ; ) Im going to have to go to the meat markets and ask from some cheek now. Im sure I can find them here in a border town. Whats a...

I may be wrong but I always thought anything added to the smoker, mid cook, should stay on the bottom rack so raw drippings don't fall on cooked meat.

Have you guys seen this. I think its a good idea but don't think it will fit through a guru eyelet. polder (click here) sorry if this is old news.

Im no expert but when I do a high heat i have it at around 330*. I also wrap at around 168*-170* which takes around 2 to 2.5hrs to reach. then another 2-2.5 hours till it gets tender in the flat. Then take off and rest for 10min and slice. If im going to hold for over an hour I take it off...

Watch out for high winds... Knocked my wsm over and chipped the charcoal bowl and mid section. Had it in the back yard on the porch and it ended up on the side of our house.

rub them down wrap in plastic wrap and in foil that why you are less likely to get melted water in it and you can add more ice on top. man id be scared a bear would come down and get your grub.

I don't know if this is an option but what I did once for a party on Sunday was cook a butt and brisket slow n low Saturday then wrap in foil then put in frig. Then Sunday morning 6 to 7 hours before the get together was high heat the other 2 briskets. Then take them wrapped in foil and in a...

I cant seem to find it at the local chain stores here in far west Texas. Im going to call a meat market later. I've never heard of it either till I got my wsm and found this site.

I have many times and I don't see any affect on the ceiling. When my grill was under then that was a problem. One thing I hate is all the damn flies that gather around when I'm smoking something. Not sure if its the smoke that doesn't get blown away but there is always a bunch of flies around.

I use the same piedmont pan setup. I think the time I spent reshaping the door mad a big difference plus the folded foil I pressed in on the top of the door. It seems to only have a gap at the top. Other then my bent vent everything else has been awesome.

oh I didn't realize it tapes the door shut. I thought it was like a gasket. Don't want to do that. Every now and then I shake up the coals to let the ash fall so need that access door. Well I did another cook this weekend. 17 hours using the Rancher but what I did was fold foil and press it...

Where did you get aluminum tape? my door leaks a lot. When I close all vents the coals never go out till they slowly burn all out( no more charcoal) Can take over a day. So what I have been doing is using a spatula and putting all the coals in a large tin can and put the top on.

I got 8 this weekend so 829 Need to build my shed so I can get some more and have a place to store them.
