I trim the fat around the butt all over just like Johnny Trigg does. There is more than enough fat within the butt and it stays super moist.
Although after reading these posts I might try keeping the fat cap and get it good and crispy.

Congratulations, my name is Jennifer as well and I picked up a C code 18.5 WSM from Craigslist a couple week ago for $30.
Here is my thread about it: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?49661-Picked-up-an-18-5-quot-WSM-off-Craigslist-today-for-30

So I recently bought 1/2 rick of pecan firewood for $30 here locally in Oklahoma.

Btw, I don't foil my ribs at all, no mop, no spritzing and they turn out just great :)
If you want to foil, then I guess a rule would be that your bark has set before you do it. You can test to see if the bark has set with the fingernail scratch test.

I am loving this 18.5" WSM--had used Mini WSM previously. I notice there is a lot of room in the dome, and I'm sure many of you have come up with an elevated grate that sits on top of the upper cooking grate. What would be the ideal height to raise it?
Hoping to seeing some photos, links or...
Okay, this was just my ignorance of WSM in general (I had gotten the new one a few days before finding the other on Craigslist). I was trying to put the lower grate of the new one, into the top grate of the old one. I later learn the top and lower grates on both are different sizes. So the...
