Does anyone ever just run leads for the probes through the top vent? that's what I do, is that a no no or is it ok? Jeff

Hey Kurt, My thermo on lid condensates aswell, but seems to go away after a while. Also I think the lid therm is way off too! Jeff

I'm not to sure, I bought a bag from Lowes last week, who know how long they were on the shelf! I wonder if there is a date on the bag? My chicken wings sure turned out great today!! One more thing, when shutting down wsm do you close all vents including top or leave top open? Jeff

I am smoking some chicken wings right now, I'll let you know how it turns out. I'm not to sure my wood chunks are that great, after about an hour of smoking they are all black and not smoking what so ever!! Jeff

Well I guess I know for next time, one of the great things about this site is learning from people who are experienced!! Thank You. I use Kingsford original with Hickory wood chunks. Jeff

Went to local orchard today and got around 30lbs of apple wood chunks for free!! got to like it. Thanks for the info guys! Jeff

Hey guys wondering if anybody has a good recipe for chicken wings on the wsm? This will be my second cook, so I have never done chicken or chicken wings before. Any help would be helpful. Jeff

Just tried Amazon, said wouldn't ship to my address, what's up with that? I do know of an orchard near by my house, will be checking that out for sure! I just might take you up on that offer Bob, Thank You!! Jeff

Any fellow Canadians know where to purchase Apple Wood chunks, I can't find them anywhere, everybody seems to have hickory that's it! Jeff

Oh Really, I thought they where ok but not great, the beef tenderloin I pulled at 150, it was good, but not a lot of smoke taste and no smoke ring at all on anything. Maybe my temp gauge is way off? What should the butt be pulled at? Jeff

I see on my local kijiji site a 22.5 WSM for sale for 250.00, does anybody see any problem with buying used equipment? Of coarse I just bought a 18.5 for 349.99 and this comes up!

pulled both at 170 Jeff

So are you saying not to clean, and let the gunk buildup? I cleaned mine up after it cooled, maybe I shouldn't have. If she tries that again I'll throw her in with the coals!! Jeff

After my smoke I had a lot of good coal left on the bottom, I closed all vents to put it out but my wife later on watered it down and put it out. My question is are the watered coals any good now or if left in sun to dry will they be fine? Jeff

The only problem was that I invited people over for 6pm but was ready at 4pm...was my temp to high? was the pieces of meat small hence the fast cook? Jeff
