I’ve got a 2010 kettle bought brand new in 2010. It didn’t have a dome thermo but years later I’ve decided I’d like to throw one on. I’ve got a nice Tel-tru 2” dial with 2.13” stem coming today in the mail. Where’s the most useful place to install this? I’ve seen some guys drill out bolt in the...

I need a lil 101 on operating the 14.5”. I started out smoking with a 14.5” 5 years ago, then a year in switched to a BGE but I always loved the taste of the meats that’s come outta my little bullet and want to get back into it and use it more often. An issue I always had was reloading coal. Do...

Cooked. So basically just heating up till internal of 145°

Cookin a 10.24 lb ham in my 14.5” WSM. I’m Runnin about 275-300°. How often should I add more coal? Using kingsford professional. Started with a full basket with 7-8’coals dumped on from my chimney.

I got a 14” WSM for Father’s Day 2015. I used it a bunch - mostly for ribs and sausages but then in 2016 got an egg and have been mostly egging since. However I’d like to start using the bullet more because I love the bark and flavor it contributes to the meats. The only challenge for me with...

Anyone ever taken the legs and ash pan from a Jumbo Joe and mounted it on an 18” OneTouch kettle? Or taken the propeller from an 18” OneTouch and installed it in a Jumbo Joe? I love the Jumbo Joe but it would be nice to have an easy cleaning system and also it would be nice to have the distance...

Man that sounds great. About what temps does 14.5 run at with this method?

Man I gotta try that. Looks like a bean can would be the perfect size for my 14.5's fire box.

Yes there's often a good breeze around here and temps are pretty cool except for the summer - why I got an Egg, but you just can't beat that WSM smoke.

That sounds killer! Gives you a nice long burn I take it? What's the best way to refuel if you're doing a big butt or brisket? I've tossed more unlits in towards the end of the first run of coals before and have had my temps drop to like 150 and never come back up. I've also added more lit coals...

What's the tin can minion method?

I got a 14.5" WSM for Father's Day last year and have been using it almost everyweek since. I was just wonder how to get longer smokes one load of coal in the hopper? Between 2-4 hours I can go without refueling but for 6 or more hours I've got to practically clean out the coal chamber and...
