    Replacement smoker?

    I would just replace the bars that keep up the water pan, if that's the only thing that is wrong with it. I like the older WSM because the original water pan is more shallow. The new water pan takes up so much room, unless you put water in it and a whole lot of it. Is there anything else...

    Brisket too smokey

    Brisket too smokey

    Thank you for all of the suggestions. I should have waited longer but sometimes I don't wait and it is fine. I have handmade wool blankets for my wsm in all 3 sizes but didn't use them. Sometimes when I use them, I feel like the wsm doesn't get enough room to breathe and it gets too hot so I...

    Brisket too smokey

    Hello, I recently cooked a choice brisket in cold weather. It was 28F, which for me, is the coldest weather I've ever cooked. I got a complaint that my brisket was too smokey. I haven't gotten that complaint in years. The only thing that I did differently was to add 2 blocks of wood...

    Congratulations Donna Fong!

    Thank you Chris so much. The Virtual Weber Bullet has been a wonderful part of my bbq journey. I was foiling my water pan this morning and thinking of you Chris many moons ago at Dana Point when we cooked together. Folks here are part of my BBQ family.

    Getting prepped for latest arctic blast

    I'm cooking a brisket for family in Seattle. It was 28F at 6am and only 3 degrees higher after 5 hours. But the 18"WSM doesn't mind one bit.
