    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    OK I hadn't paid any attention to the handle/lock at all, I'll have a look at it next time the WSM comes out

    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    Hi Tony! I have the 18 1/2" with the smaller door, I don't seem to get much leakage, well visible smoke leakage that is. What's the big advantage of swapping the doors? Less oxygen getting sucked in? I'm halfway through my first proper cook now, fired it up at midnight last night and still...

    Baked Bean Recipes

    Another one to try, thanks. It gets good reviews so looking forward to giving the bottom of the plate a lick (but don't tell my missus!)

    First Cook Question

    I hope so but if it works as all the reviews say (and why it wouldn't is anyone's guess) it should be good. I was surprised how cheap it was over here in the UK £226 including shipping; normally you can double the price for American goods in the UK

    First Cook Question

    I threw caution to the wind and just ordered a DXII even though I said I wasn't going too. I guess an overnight cook is a possibility now. I think I'm going to go with the low and slow pulled pork butt, even in the cold weather it should be OK overnight and a top up of charcoal sometime in the...

    Any links to an example of this Tim?

    First Cook Question

    OK guy, pork butt it is weather permitting, an early start and see how it goes. I'm a lazy sort so maybe a DX2 in on the cards for overnight cooking in the future, I quite fancy the idea of forgetting it while I sleep. I'll do some manual first though to gain some experience, a bit of...

    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    Hi Petroni, another UK based person here, new to WSMs. Many thanks for the link to battleboxbbq, I'd not heard of them but they look interesting. I have the 47cm version and the door fit isn't bad, I'd figured on using a thin bead of heat resistant silicone as a gasket if I really felt I needed...

    First Cook Question

    Pork butt or chicken, you guys don't make it easy!! If I went the pork option,a couple of options: Cut it in half - faster cooking? Will there be more risk of drying out? Could I use the Texas crutch to speed up the process so I could get it done in a day (9-10hours)? High heat chicken is done...

    First Cook Question

    Weather permitting I'd like to do my first cook in my new 18* WSM the weekend after next. It's my birthday so I fancied having a go at brisket or pulled pork, but it's cold this time of year and I'm not convinced an overnight cook is the best idea for a first real go. I fired it up yesterday to...

    Baked Bean Recipes

    When I saw the "Texas Pete Hot Sauce" reference I thought never happen in the UK but we can get it, amazingly! I will most definitely give this a go too, it sounds great. What kind of baked beans is it would seem the question. I rather stupidly thought perhaps there was a traditional American...

    Sausage ratios

    We've been making sausage for about 30 years, it's very much a try it and see thing sometimes. We tend to use half a pig at a time and make a even mix out of all the meat / fat and divide it up into 10lb batches, to which we add 1 heaped tablespoon of salt or for a bit saltier, 2 flat...

    Baked Bean Recipes

    Here in the UK baked beans come in a tin with some sort of watery orange coloured sauce that has more to do with a laboratory than a tomato. Now I know baked beans have a better side to them than that, anyone got any pointers to an authentic/classic version, or even a really good recipe?
