    Cleaning WSM 18"

    Yeah it happens to every now and then when it rains before I get a chance to put it away. I keep it on covered porch... But I curse that Webber design that lets the water in every time it happens.

    Cleaning WSM 18"

    Occasionally water gets in mind because it rains..... And if it stays there you get mold all over the inside grease. Then I break out the pressure washer.... It removes most stuff without using cleaners..... In fact I had to pressure wash mine just yesterday due to this.... I had been putting...

    New from ThermoWorks: RFX wireless meat probe thermometer

    I've got a temp spike and I'm mostly use it in my oven in the house..... It's great when you're cooking a standing rib roast, etc. also use it in my dehydrator to monitor the temperature when I'm fermenting yogurt.

    Rib-0-Later vs rotating spit??

    Wrapping speeds up the cook, and it definitely comes out moist-er. Especially if you use high heat for fast cooks. No right or wrong..all good. Spare ribs have more fat than loin backs and lend themselves a little better to not wrapping i think

    Rib-0-Later vs rotating spit??

    The best way to cook ribs is laid flat , everything else is an aggravation of varying amounts. Yeah, you can make it work, but the 18 really doesn't have the real estate or kind of uniform temperature you'd really like to have to do a lot of ribs . Another problem with the WSM is when you...

    Thermopop vs El cheapo Amazon junk

    I had several cheap $9 trash Walmart thermometers before I got tired of them breaking..... And spent the money for a Thermapen. Screw all the cheap Chinese crap.... It just cost you more in the long run

    Rib racks

    Rib racks suck. If you're going to use a foiling method you're going to hate it..... It's a lot of trouble.... Sometimes you go to pull the ribs out and they're sticking inside the rack and you have a lot of trouble.... Burning your little fingers in the process. So the first thing you got...

    How long does your WSM run on a single load of fuel?

    My coal ring is extended a little bit with expanded steel. .... And I use a temp controller..... And I have run it for 26 hours at 265 ish and had charcoal left. The main reason the coal ring is extended is because you no longer have to knock down ash at 8 hrs or so. It extends that time to...

    Brisket cooking time, 225 vs 275

    I think the moisture content can vary a bit ....and that probably has an effect too. I don't claim to understand it but the biggest briskets I've ever cooked have also been the fastest.......go figure... Including a 19-pounder. Maybe the amount of volume it takes up in top of wsm has...

    Brisket cooking time, 225 vs 275

    I don't find that weight has much to do with the time it takes it to cook. Some of the biggest briskets I've ever cooked have finished in 9-10 hours...... At 275 I figure about 12 hours and often its about 10 It's done when it's done 225 takes a heck of a lot longer.... Took me 21 hours...

    Need Help Want To Cook Baby Backs Semi High Heat With No Wrap On My Pellet Grill.

    Wrap speeds the cook, while keeping it tender... That's why everybody wraps in foil. Steams it Faster simply requires higher temperature .,.but.... 300 is about as hot as you want to go and even that will start to harden edges , etc. I did 325 a few times as experiment.... It's definitely...

    How long can you safely wet age a brisket in the fridge?

    Taste/smell and safety are two different things. Your nose is an indicator of taste and smell, not safety. There is no indicator for that. Spoilage bacteria are easily killed by cooking.... It should be safe to eat. If well cooked because we take briskets to 200F. In raw meat the spoilage...

    Freezing Whole Smoked Brisket

    I suggest you take a page out of Aaron Franklin's playbook..... He ships cooked brisket nationwide. It's vacuum sealed and shipped cold with ice packs.... Then he has directions for reheating it. www.goldbelly.com/instructions/franklin-barbecue/whole-brisket-texas-bbq-sauce

    Freezing Whole Smoked Brisket

    It most certainly will stay hot iseveral hrs if you wrap it in towels.and put it in a decent cooler. But the answer the original question freezing a whole brisket would require carefully re thawing and a plan of how to do that. It would take quite a bit of time itself.
