Thanks for the compliments! No. I was gifted an iGrill a few years ago and this was my first experiment. I was trying to test ambient temperature, and I don't think that works with the standard probes. So far, I've done fine without such a gizmo - but I mainly smoke ribs and chicken. I'll...

Hi. It's been a while since I posted but I still pop in to refresh my memory on various recipes. My WSM from 2009 is still going strong. I've looked long and hard at high end pellet grills over the years (MAC), but still think the WSM is king. I also grow peppers and smoke them in the WSM before...

My classic black EP-310 was just delivered this Monday. I purchased it from Tru Value. They put it together, delivered and took away my rust bucket gasser. I have only cooked hot dogs so far, but love the grates! Here's a quick cell phone picture just after delivery - it was raining.

Nice! I just bought a 310 in black today from my local hardware store. I probably could have found it a bit cheaper, but it includes free delivery (this Monday) and disposal of my old rusty gasser. All I have to do is drop in the propane. It also comes with the stainless steel grates (like...

I recorded it for commercial-free viewing but couldn't even get through the whole show. It was extremely disappointing. Except for the title and a few returning cast members, it was hard to believe I was watching the same show. I kept thinking "What the #@!$!?" I was really looking forward...

Sorry but there are no pictures for this one. I'm a newbie and have had my smoker for about a month. The weather has been cooperating, and I've been able to smoke each weekend (ribs, chicken, brisket) and tried grilling this last time. I have an 18.5 WSM and put the large grill straight on...

I'm a newbie and have only smoked one brisket. But, I added about 1/2 cup to the foil (mix of mostly apple juice with some apple cider vinegar, pan drippings, garlic powder) at the 160ish mark. The final product was pretty tender but agree the bark was soft and crumbled off easily. The best...

Joe, Thanks. I live in the the Portland metro area - Tualatin to be exact. I just read in the Harry Soo forum that he's coming here this summer to teach some classes. Cool. K, Thanks for the advice. I can't imagine that it wasn't done, but I know you have to nuke brisket. I will try your...

Sweet! I'm gonna check that out - see you this summer in Portland. Todd

Well, I still don't really feel like I know what I'm doing. But with a successful rib and chicken cook under my belt I tried a brisket today. I picked the smallest cryopack at Costco - a little over 7lbs. I figured that weight wouldn't an overnighter, and would be easier to handle. After...

Thanks for the comments and advice. I just received a rib rack for Valentines Day, and will be using that next time. I'm also going to try it without water next time - that was kinda messy to clean up. I'm not sure what is next. We might do another shorter cook next weekend with a couple of...

Hello all. I received my first smoker (18.5 WSM) earlier this week and had my first smoke yesterday. I have been reading through the forum for about 2 weeks. Originally, I was set on an expensive pellet grill (Mak), but decided to go with the trusty WSM. I tried to follow the basic baby back...
