WOW that sounds/looks great. Thank you for sharing. Definitely going to try it.

Hey guys, I have some venison cube steaks I’ve thought about trying on the WSM. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

Also, if you’ve got to buy a $200 brisket to impress your future in-laws you’ve got bigger problems than brisket. 😜 I feed mine bologna.

I think a lot of people idolize guys like Aaron Franklin and that’s great but don’t feel that because he has the luxury of cooking high end meat that’s the only way to get a great end result. I’ve never had a single person tell me my pulled pork would be better if it were Compartt Duroc. I’d be...

I’d like to cook a SRF brisket too just because but I do like the challenge of trying to make the best product I can out of easily accessible meat. For me, that’s what bbq is about. What a lot of people fail to realize is that when you have guys like Aaron Franklin, John Lewis, John Mueller and...

I think “best” is subjective. I’ve had really great brisket from Sam’s. I don’t believe you need to buy super high end meat to get great BBQ. You certainly need to buy the best quality you can within reason but don’t make yourself feel like you absolutely have to cook a $200 brisket to get a...

My original door was worn out. The cheap plastic latch had come apart. This door and latch are MUCH heavier.

I got the Cajun Bandit door and water pan (expensive 20qt mixing bowl) for my WSM. Does anyone else have any experience with these?

Thanks for the reply. If I use it I may go with a small amount. I guess the reason I want to try it is from reading so much about it. Curiosity is an expensive thing lol.

When I was touring as a professional musician I used to play the Ameristar in Council Bluffs right across the river.

I'm thinking of trying some Butchers pork injection. I don't compete so this will be for a home cook. I'm wondering if I'll be disappointed with the results. Nothing against the product but I know it's probably geared more for comp cooks. Would you guys recommend I try it or pass?

I use a Weber charcoal chimney with the bottom grate removed. Sit it in the center of my charcoal ring and surround it with unlit coals. When my second chimney is hot and ready I dump the coals into the first chimney and remove it. This method works ok for me but sometimes I have trouble getting...

So, I moved to Ludington, Michigan from East central Mississippi a little over two years ago. What a change LOL. I have a 22.5" WSM that I've been using a lot for the last four years or so. I really like that cooker but it doesn't like the cooler temp up here. It's great to be a member of this...
