You too my friend. Enjoy those steaks!

Gotta go with Dave on this one. A Craigslist turkey fryer with accessories is cheaper than this and has a lot more uses. But it is kind of cool!

I wouldn't hesitate to cook em! Some odor is expected. I'll bet they'll be delicious.

Big Babybacks!

I'm no high heat expert, but if you're confident you can get the brisket done in 5 hrs the hold on the butts will be fine. So far as amounts, you could easily get by with just one nice butt (8 lbs or better) and a decent sized whole packer (around 12 lbs before trimming). Otherwise just go with...

Bone-in or boneless? Shoot with the question, we love ribeyes here at the TVWB!

Kevin K could explain this so much better than I but I'll give it a shot. Let's go with your chicken and ribs. Here's how I could do it. Let's say my ribs take 3.5 hrs to cook from start to finish and the chicken takes 90 mins to finish. I could start the ribs on the bottom grate and after 2...

Tell us how you really feel Rondo! I gotta admit though that for as nice as they seem to be, they do appear they could be a PITA. I still want some though ... just because.

I bought the eyelets for my first two WSMs and I only installed them on one, and I never use them. Tim's method works fine. One word of caution though, don't hang your transmitter on the lip above the access door! It'll melt the heck out of it. Trust me, I know! Rick @

Yeah Tim, that's exactly the way it seemed when I did a multi-stage cook on it the other day. (multi-stage cook = finishing one meat then starting another) In this case it was a ham replacing a couple of finished turkey breasts. The mounted therm seemed more sensitive to the actions that affect...

Far be it from me to argue with a Wizard and with all due respect ... but ... I always thought that once the WSM was set up with the water pan and grates in place that the heat rose as it went up the cooker? My formula using the lid vent as my temp measuring point is/was, 265* lid temp = 250*...

Thanks guys ... but I need more! Curiousity has gotten the best of me. Being the proud owner of three WSMs and having cooked on one for over five years I know pretty well how they work. I know about the temp diffs between the top vent and the bottom grate and from side to side. What I didn't...

Hi Jeff. Never heard of the barrel thing before. I'm sure one of the engineers around here could come up with something pretty cool! My original windblock was four of those 6' metal garden/fence stakes sledgehammered in the ground at about 3' apart forming a square (four corners). Take a tarp...

I was using a WSM I bought off of CL the other day. The previous owner had mounted a decent quality therm in the lid opposite the lid vent. When using my "tested" ET-73 in the vent hole I was reading an average of 15-20* higher than the mounted therm. The only thing I can come up with (other...

Here's probably what you're looking for: Hawg Wings Yet to try them, but once I do I'm sure they'll go on my eventual menu. Rick @

I like your attitude Bob! My wife likes one of Bandana's sauces. I make her keep it in the garage fridge! It's just a little ongoing joke with us but it's all in fun! Hey Tom, here's a review of D'arcy's and a description of a horseshoe. Horseshoe review and Fast Eddie's Bonair Enjoy...

I read somewhere the new bags will weigh 11 lbs. I have no complaints with the new K or the comp version. So I'll give this one a shot as well. Getting frustrated about the price ain't gonna change it. Go with the flow or just say no! Rick @

Yeah, what they said ... Pappy's! Honestly, I rarely get bbq from out. Mainly because I'm usually highly disappointed. Especially the chains ... Bandana's, Chile's, Applebee's, etc. Yuck! (sorry Bob) There is the Super Smokers on old Rt 66 and Ethyl's Smokehouse in O' Fallon, MO. and...

I actually prefer using lump in my smokers. Just like briquettes, once you get it dialed in it's no different. I do use briquettes on top of the lump to start it off. Much, much less ash. Because of the irregular shape of lump it helps to move it and push it down and around to compact it better...

dave, dave, dave ..... that's a whole nuther forum! Rick @
