Chris, If you do not mind smoking up the ceiling a little I do not see any problem. My patio is covered and open on two sides and I always set up my WSM just under the cover near the edge. I have done this for several years and there is just a little discoloration on the ceiling. John

I would have to agree with Mark. Gibson's Red Sauce is excellent, In fact when judging sauce at a contest last year I am almost postive that 4 of the 6 entries at my table were "doctored" versions of Gibson's sauce. I also like to use Cattleman's as a base and add a little more heat. John

John, In your post you stated Took the picnics out of the fridge, washed, and scored the skin. This was easier said than done (or my knives need a real good sharpening), but I got a semi-cross hatch on the skin down to the meat I have found if you buy a plastic utility knife with the break...

Pat, About 40+ years ago there was man named Pat Trammell that played football for Alabama, I think he was from up on Sand Mountain somewhere. I was just curious if you were related? John

A year or so ago someone on this site suggested using the side burner of a gas grill, if you have one. That works great for me. Just set a chimney on the side burner for about 3 min. John

Rob try this link http://www.porkpeople.com/porkcuts.html The Picnic is the bottom part of a whole shoulder. Its somewhat leaner than the butt or top part of the shoulder. I have cooked them but I like the butt much better. John

Dave, I bought one bag and did not really care for it. I had to open the vents about 50% more than normal to keep the temp. in range. Even though the Kingston cost a little more I feel it is worth the extra cost. JMHO John

The Winn-Dixie stores in North Alabama have them this week for $.69 a pound. see: www.winn-dixie.com John

Sonny, What part of West Tenn? I grew up in the big city of Milan. John

Pork fat is white when it is cold. When I was a kid and we killed hogs on the farm and rendered the fat into lard it turned snow white. Even if you buy lard today in the store its white. John

Mike, A friend of mine picked up a baby monitor at a garage sale for 3 bucks and it works great for him John

Richard C. Thanks for the tip. I do have a side burner(that I never use) on a gasser setting right next to my WSM. That a great idea thanks again. John

I have never attempted this but I wondered if anyone has invested in a small bag of the Kingsford Match Light charcoal and put about 4 of those in the bottom of the chimney then fill with regular charcoal and light with a match. Do you think a small amount like that would impart a taste? John

HJ, I have never found a good way. I call the wife and with welding gloves pick up the bird and she pulls the can out with another pair. John

Here is where I got mine. BUT Mark got the last one they had in stock on Saturday. ACE Hardware has them in Decatur Al but their price is $199.00 You Might check the ACE Hardware stores in your area. Also see the response to my orginal post there is a link to the Weber site that has a dealer...

It cooks like a dream. I did a turkey breast Sunday and it came out great. Being used to maintaining a fire in an offset I could not beleive how rock solid this thing held the temp. without doing anything other than opening the vent a tad later in the cook. If it was just a little larger I...

Thanks for the tip Mickey I will be sure to check. I'll let you know Monday how she cooks. john

Ray, That was to easy. I found a dealer in Huntsville, AL (where I work) that has them in stock for $179.00 + tax I am going down at lunch to pick one up. thanks for the tip John

OK after lurking here and Ray's forum for a long time I tired of stoking up the offset for a small cook and ordered a WSM thru Amazon. However I received a notice today (after a week) that the ship date was now sometime in August and cancelled the order. Wal-mart has a good price but they are...
