Thanks to all the forum contributors. I have been grilling on a gas grill with wood chips for years, and thought I was eating well. Then on a trip to Saint Louis I had a pulled pork sandwich at Papa’s, wow, I was blown away. I started researching back yard smokers and found this site. You convinced me to get a WSM. So I saved my pennies and bought a 14 inch WSM in April. My first cook was a 9 pound butt. I started at 4am on a rainy, windy, 36 degree day. I was in heaven, best rainy day ever. The butt was done at 6pm. The family raved and ate the whole thing in less then 3 days. Since my first smoke I have done a whole chicken, whole turkey, and salmon. All with great results thanks to your advice and guidance. The wife wants a brisket for Mother’s Day. So I can’t wait to tackle that. Thanks again for all the advice, you guys and gals are the best. Keep on smoking.
