I love hickory with any pork. I agree with fruitwood and poultry. I am starting to mix and match to fine tune flavor. Most recently turkey with apple wood and a hint of hickory. It turned out very well. I used six chunks and will go four next time. Not bad this time, but not perfect either.

How'd it turn out? I leave mine alone for 2/3 of the smoke and then I foil it for the remaining time.

First off I think it would help you a ton if you had a thermometer in th bird's thigh during the cook. I have a cheap one from Meijer. It has a probe with a 3 foot cable and a digital read out. You can set an alarm on it and bingo, you know when you are good to go. Mine cost about 15 bucks. For...

Okay I have to check that out. Thanks!

My temp was right at or just under 300. I had to keep all my vents about a quarter open. I did have more fuel than I needed, so next time I would go with half a chimney with a small ring of unlit coals around it, a mini Minion... I did not foil the pan, it was just empty. I had a disposable...

Agreed. I am done with the juice water mix. I also understand no water is necessary, but it is how I have been smoking pork buts for the past couple years albeit on my OTG. Still all the advice on this site is great. Lots of methods to try on your way to perfecting your own style! Thanks to all...

I have returned to this post because I smoked a turkey today with an empty pan, no clay saucer and it worked out great. I still plan on grabbing a saucer and trying it out, but it is nice to know that I do not NEED to. I will still use water in the pan for butts and brisket.

The day I got my 22 I was browsing TVWB and came across posts by 18.5 owners calling the 22 a waste. After several smokes I am glad that I read those posts after I got my 22 as they may have swayed my choice. The 22 is great! No regrets. I hope yours serves you well!

Yes, small but tasty! It turned out great. I just need to figure out how to post the photo of the finished bird. My experience with smoking up to now has included water in the pan, this was my first dry smoke. No sand. No clay saucer. I was a little nervous, but the WSM came thru with no trouble.

The Weber cookbooks are good starter books, especially the Big Book and Charcoal. They can be a little repetitive. This site I am learning is really beyond any book. Trouble is, unlike a book you will get multiple and sometimes divergent opinions at the same time. Next thing you know, you are...

My Weber Gasser is going on ten year. I got it at Homers because their model had heavy cast iron grates. I replaced the enameled flavorizor bars last year with new SS ones. Keep the grill covered between uses and even the enameled steel will last a good while. As far as side burners go my last...

I love my Silver B, hot dogs or burgers for the kids why not go for the easy fix. I also love it for corn, potatoes and other veg on the grill.

Keith, My experience with brisket has been that it is difficult to find it whole. I am not a Sam's member so maybe those guys have the upper hand. Still with the 22 you can just buy 2 or 3 to get the weight that you need. No problem. As stated before done is in the temperature. I hope it turned...

That is logic I could not argue with. I checked CL before I got my WSM and I did not see one. Bad timing or location... Welcome to the trifecta club! Happy smoking!

I put the bird on at 9. 10#. I brined it using the Atlon Brown recipe and used the Weber Turkey rub that my wife got me. I am using apple an hickory wood. Was not able to locate the right sized clay saucer so I am starving the coals to regulate the temp. I need to figure out how to post...

This vintage of Genisis is great! Mine has worked flawlessly. A great gift.

Tim, Wow, that is a lot of information! At the same time your first answer was very important too. It is great to read about who is using what and why. This web site is great. I have poked around over the years but I never appreciated the breadth of information that resides here.

I read this post last night and those images of that melted grill got stuck in my head. To those with grills looking like that I think you better check all your gas lines, regulator, etc. I would even go so far as to recommending replacement. You melted a metal box, how do you think the...

Okay, I love hot dogs and I love Michigan. Try Kogel Viennas. They've got the snap!

I had been tempted to go the Alton Brown route and grab one of those round yellow and red Igloo coolers, but I am serious about not having extra space around the house. Those XL Ziplocks really spoke to me with an ice bath in my cooler. Great tip about the air drying in the fridge! Thanks.
