Yumm!!! I've tried using leftover brisket in my chilli before. I typically cook my chilli in a crockpot. Word of warning. Brisket in a crockpot becomes beef paste!

Thank you! These are sooooo good!!!

Jeepster's right!! The drawing in the manual does appear to show the charcoal grate installed with the two cross rods on top. And it DOES hold the ring better!! Good eye!

Thanks everyone. I'm confident I can use the advice to get my temps under control.

After I submitted the post, I knew I was gonna be asked these valid questions. I'm pretty new to to the WSM. I've only got 6 or so smokes under my belt. Every time, I've used Kingsford with 4 pieces of smoke wood, full water pan, meat loaded all at once on top grill. I start with the vents...

Maybe it's just me, but it seems harder for me to get and keep the temperature stabilized using the minion method as opposed to the standard method. Is there something to that, or is it user error?

YUMMMM!!!! I gotta try that! Thanks

Yuengling... I was traveling for work in Virginia. I asked what local brews to try. It was suggested I ask for a "lager". They'd know that lager meant Yuengling. First one was real good, second, third, fourth, and so... It's a great beer, but all things must be consumed in moderation... I...

Alright... So you had about an hour per pound on your two flats. Two 8 pound flats for about 15 1/2 hours. I've seen recommendations usually around an hour to an hour & a half per pound, depending on several variables. Does that then hold true even if the pounds are divided between two...

Stacked together? Never heard of that. What temp & how long? Thanks

I have two brisket flats I'd like to Q this weekend. I wanted a whole packer, but that's not what I have. The flats are 5 and 6 pounds each. They appear to have good fat caps so I don't believe they're overly trimmed. I'd like to hear some recommendations on temp and time. Let me know what...

I bought my WSM on Amazon about a month ago. The handle was nearly broken off?!? I called the 800 number and after ten minutes they had me and my WSM registered and were sending a new lid. It arrived the next week in perfect shape. I would still recommend Amazon for cheap & fast, only...

Beer, a little bourbon while listening to the blues...

Some of the best ribs I've ever tasted. When I made the rub, I thought it was too strong with chilli powder. I considered making a new batch with less chilli powder. I'm sure glad I kept to the recipe! They were great. I'm going to have to learn more about rubs and how spices work when...

Thank you everyone. I have a much better idea what I'm looking for now. If I do it right, I'll make mistakes along the way that will make me seem wise.
