    Took the WSM to work today

    Bought another 18.5 today

    I don't even need it but it was $125 on Craigslist and I felt like it was unloved. Now I'll need to put it to use!

    First Butt in a Long Time

    Haven't used the smoker in a while. I thought this turned out nice. I realized after getting it ready that I haven't smoked anything since my grandfather passed away this past winter. I would always make a package for him and run it over to his house. He loved it. A year or so ago he was in...

    WSM Smoking Question

    Adding charcoal isn't a badge of shame or anything. You'll be able to see the charcoal and know if it needs more. When it burns down and looks like you need more, add a handful and spread them around, it's not a big deal. I don't like the idea of putting chicken over top of pork or beef. I'm...

    4 butts on 18.5"

    Wanted to get them to 190-195. Two smaller butts were done at 16 hours. Two larger butts were done at 18. Let all rest in a cooler for a couple of hours before pulling. Freakin delicious. Everybody was happy. I liked the Bad Byron's Butt Rub so it looks like Stubbs is out. We had a good...

    4 butts on 18.5"

    7:30 am. Looking good. Rotated racks. Temps were 170 on three butts and 180 on another. Temp was 260 at vent. After stirring coals, rotating meat, checking temps, basting, etc, the temp jumped to 350. Closed bottom vents. Gonna check again in about 20 mins and readjust vents. Photo...

    4 butts on 18.5"

    4 AM check, 8 hours in and they look great. Nice bark developed on all four. Temp was 250 at the top vent. I stirred the coals, shook the ring, added some unlit, basted with apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Now I'm back to bed. Haven't checked meat temp yet. Will check at 8ish AM.

    Stubbs Clone?

    Anybody have a recipe? It's the only rub I've ever used, but they recently changed it from the original "Bar-B-Q". They have pork, chicken, steak, and Bar-B-Q now, but the Bar-B-Q is not the same as it used to be. The texture, color, and flavor is different. My wife and I are both sad and...

    4 butts on 18.5"

    so here's the scoop. got started trimming and rubbing them down. first two went great. opened package for the next two and there was an "off" smell. And there was some kind of slimy stuff near the bone. Not good at all!! I sent my wife to the store to get two more and put the first two on...

    4 butts on 18.5"

    I need to make pulled pork for 40 hungry baptists this weekend. I think 3 butts might be enough but I'm probably going to do 4 to be safe and have leftovers. I've never done 4 on my smoker before. I've taken out the water pan and use a clay pot base, will that have any impact on the...

    Smoked a butt

    I always forget to check in here before I smoke on WSM Smoke Day, but I started a butt this morning at about 7:30, coated with spicy brown mustard and Stubb's dry rub. I mopped it with apple juice at about 1:00. Pulled it off the smoker at 6 and put it in a cooler. We pulled it and ate it at...

    any tricks to greatly speed up a chimney starter?

    I picked up a used Performer off Craigslist for $75. I didn't know if I would like the propane system or not but I LOVE IT. And now I have a nice table and storage area and a shelf under it for my chimney starter. Get a Performer.

    Store Bought Rub

    Stubbs is all I ever use. I've never even tried to make my own yet because I love stubbs so much.

    Going for my first "double" this weekend

    you shouldn't need to add smoke wood. i usually put a pretty big chunk (usually a a split piece) for a long cook and it puts out flavor for a long time. I'd make sure you give yourself enough time and then add some extra time. there is nothing more frustrating than when it's time to eat and...

    Going for my first "double" this weekend

    when i've done ribs and butt I put the butt on top for a while until i'm ready to start the ribs. then i move the butt to the bottom with the ribs above it. i try to time it so the butt is done a couple of hours before the ribs so the butt can rest in foil for a while before being pulled.

    awful butt, was meat bad or was it me?

    wow, that is all way over my head. i've never heard of that before. i would tell the butcher if i ever saw them in there, but they're never around. i'll just stick to the other food city. it was cryo'd meat so i don't really blame the butcher. thanks for the knowledge
