Hi All, mothers day approaching, and was going smoke some beef ribs. It is supposed rain most of the day on Sunday in NY. What is the best way to handle this? Do I have to put up a tent? Can you smoke in the rain? (Probably not because the briquettes might get wet. Options? Ideas?

I saw that, however, the Beef Back Ribs are so large, I am pretty certain they will not fit. I was thinking about perhaps a rib rack to just stand them up side by side

Hi All, I have started to get into Beef Ribs w the Long Bone. How can I fit more on at one time? Those long Rib racks are huge. I can only fit around 3 racks on the WSM 22" (Top and bottom) and still have to cut them. Are there any racks that are best for the long beef ribs?

OK, glad I found this thread. I must be doing something wrong. Recently purchased a WSM 22. I use the Weber briquettes (also from Lowes @ $11.99). I filled the the ring with Weber briquettes to the top, lit 25 briquettes in the chimney and poured it on top once, and also created a pit in the...

So as a newby myself w a 22.5, I started with the BBQ Chicken using weber briquettes. It came out a bit too smokey for me. I started with a chimney full of lit coals, and then added another 1/2 unlit and waited for them all to get grey. Once I got the temp up with the wood smoking, I put the...

Thanks. I just tried the BBQ chicken because it was mentioned as a good starting point. In the future, I am not going to bother with hi temps. I have a nice Weber 650 for that. Going to stick to the Low n Slow on the WSM. in regards to the BBQ Chicken, I lit a whole chimney of Charcoal and...

Hi All, newbie here. So far I have barbequed 2 whole chickens at high temp. That did not go so well. The temp was fine for a bit, then took a nose dive below 300. I through in extra briguettes, but that might have delivered too much smoke causing an extremly smoky flavor...

Actually, I meant the deck is up against the house. I would have it about 9 Ft away from the side of my house, but on a wood deck with wood railings. It is Cedar and a bit old and dry. Should I be concerned about and flames perhaps igniting it?

Hi again, If I am putting my WSM on a wood deck against the house, do I need to be worried about flames, heat, burning siding or the deck? What precautions should I take before during and after a cook.

Ha. Thanks for this. Yes, my first time. I have mainly used my Summit 650 for smokng ribs. Temp was easy to monitor, but the smoke thing never really worked well. I was going to ask since I have heard it takes a few cooks to get consistent temps. Would you suggest perhaps starting with BBQ...

lol on the lid. My understanding about the water is that it acts as more of a heat shield, and keeps the heat at bay. I will probably just foil the water bowl it would be cool if they made a disposable tray that just fit inside of it. I will probably dump the whole bag in like you say and heat...

Great Info. I am looking for hassel free, so if the Weber Briquettes allow me a steady low and slow burn for 12+ hours from one bag, that is good. Use the Minion method with the whole bag? 1 Chimini filled unlit, and another lit? What is the best for low n Slow w these briquettes in your...

I am awaiting delivery of my WSM 22.5, so doing as much research as possible prior. I see the Weber Charcoal 20lb bag on sale at Lowes for $11.99. That is 40% off. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Weber-20-lb...tes/1000156169 I also see the KBB Original on sale $12.88 for 2 18.6lb bags...

Great info all. Thanks. I tried to do a general search on the main page but didn't find anything specific about this. Remember I have the 22" in case it matters 1. If I only need to use the top or bottom grate for cooking, which one do you use? 2. On all the examples, I see everyone using the...
