I saw that, the agave nectar one ?

Can you use Harry Soo's 3-2-1 recipe on babybacks or is it exclusive to spareribs? Thanks.

I started smoking on my WSM using Gary Wiviott's K.I.S.S. charcoal lighting method (Keep it simple, stupid!)...If you are not familiar with it, here it goes: - Fill charcoal ring halfway with un-lit lump (about two chimneys full) - Place 2-3 woodchunks of top of the un-lit charcoal - Fill the...

Gary, Thanks for the tips. My limited experience with whole chickens has been the same: great to eat, but does not produce enough meat (at least not for the crowd I'm feeding!). I'm thinking of getting a jumbo pack of breasts, brining, then using dry rub. I'll hit em with some sauce after!

I was planning on following this recipe (http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/chicken7.html) for some pulled chicken. However, since I have a large crowd to cook for, I was just going to use breasts instead of the legs and thighs. Anyone make pulled chicken with chicken breasts? How'd it come out...

Just a quick update about the switch: the thermometer from my WSM is now on my weber grill. While a boiling test assured me that the WSM therm. was about 10 degrees off, that's not the case with it on the grill. Now, when I grill, the original WSM thermometer is reading anywhere from 50-100...

EM, Welcome aboard. From what I've read on this forum, rain will not affect your cook on the WSM. Some people have carts or stands that prop an umbrella over the cooker but thats mainly to protect YOU from the elements. The big issue to worry about is wind, as it can affect the burning of the...

In addition to a 18.5" WSM, I also own a 2 burner Weber Grill. It's only two years old and works great. I have noticed, however, that it has a similar (if not the same) type of thermometer on its hood as my WSM does. Now, with all the talk about the inaccuracy of the WSM gauges, can't the same...

I bought a cheap vegetable grilling sheet - I think its made out of aluminum - but it cost me 99c at the local super market - its super thin- and instead of buying another grate, I just place this over the charcoal grate and at the end I can shake out the ash and keep the lump in place!

Does anyone keep their charcoal (lump or briquettes) in plastic bins or trash cans instead of storing them in the bag? I always found that the bags they come in would undoubtedly get wet or dampen even if I did cover them. I also found that when lighting my WSM, I had to sift through the larger...

Thanks for all the ideas, guys. Maybe I'll try out the beans after all...any preference in wood for the ribs, chicken, and beans? I was gunna go apple and hickory...

I am a big fan of the Jim Beam Red Stag line - they started off with black cherry infused bourbon...now they have two more, sweet tea and spiced, which is like a hot cinnamon. I adapted this recipe from and earlier post about apple pie vodka...But since I don't like vodka, I've used bourbon. For...

Good morning, I have been thinking about several things regarding smoking on my WSM. Instead of posting several posts in different categories (and flood the forum), I figured I'd post them here and see what kind of feedback I can get. Forgive me if some of these questions may sound dumb, just...

Why appetizers and side dishes, of course! Awesome websites out there that highlight how to make pulled pork nachos, sausage dishes, etc. Enjoy the extra food! Regards, Tim

Hey Rob, Glad to see you firing the WSM up this weekend. We are going to be getting great weather for a smoke here in Mass. Do you always get your meat at Bjs? How are the prices, quality? I just did my first ribs ever on the WSM and got them from Butcher Boy in N. Andover. Came out unreal and...

Bob, Thanks for the kind words - what if a high output propane torch is not an option? What is the best way to light these larger pieces of lump without medium/smaller pieces to catch them on fire? I suppose I could shove a bunch of the larger pieces into the chimney and just wait longer for the...

Hi all, Just got a WSM two weeks ago - already done a successful bird and as we speak, am smoking my first ribs! I do, however, have a pressing question in regards to lump charcoal. Most recipes - unless your following Low and Slow BBQ by Wiviott - call for chimneys or briquettes. Low and Slow...
