    So... anyone old enough to remember me?

    I still remember you Keri, and I'm still making your beans. I give that recipe away more than any other. Great to see one of the "old timers" posting again. Hope all is well.

    Butts sticking to grate

    Spray your grates with a non-stick spray prior to putting your meat on, it will minimize the "stickage", but there will always be some.

    Need advice on cook in WSM

    I've done 3 & 3, keep in mind if you put them on cold your temp is going to drop in the cooker. It will take a little while to get it back up to temp.

    Pitmaster Book?

    Good book here, lots of good tips on using the WSM from an award winning cook. BUT, nothing you couldn't learn right here if you read the cooking topics. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1624140998/tvwb-20?tag=TVWB-20

    Water Pan Cover

    I agree Rich, I foil the water pan, seaming two sheets of 18" foil together, sometimes I get small leaks other times not, never understood the obsessiveness of keeping the water pan pristine. If you do get a leak, a few shots of Simple Green and a shot with the hose takes care of it.

    18 or 22, I'm struggling.

    I've never heard anyone who bought the 22" say, "Dang, I wish I had bought the smaller one."

    My first brisket cook is in the books.

    Brandon, wrapping around 160 is the right time if you're going to wrap. Wrapping in foil will cause the meat to "steam" which will have a negative affect on your bark. In my experience you have 3 alternatives; 1) don't wrap, 2) wrap in butcher paper (search You Tube for Aaron Franklin's Brisket...

    Seasoning the new 22.5 WSM

    Nice patios guys! Seasoning the WSM isn't really necessary. It has a porcelain enameled finish, not bare metal like a stick burner. Just cook a couple racks of ribs or a pork butt and it will build up a nice coating of BBQ goodness. The more you use it the better it gets. Good luck guys.

    Water or no water?

    I'm a big believer in learning to use your cooker the way it was designed to be used before you go off doing mods or using a pizza stone or sand in a foiled pan. Use water the first few cooks, learn how to control your temps. See for yourself if water has any advantages or disadvantages to what...

    Pork shoulder injection Apple juice to Apple Cider Vinegar

    Be careful with the Kroger Boston Butts, although they are a great price (.99/lb), the one's sold at my Kroger store are enhanced and already injected with a salt solution.

    2nd Brisket...OH so good!

    Brisket looks awesome. For your next one, prior to adding rub, determine the direction of the grain of the meat and cut a small slit against the grain at the end of the brisket so it will be easy to determine the grain once cooked.

    at what temp. do you pull your smoked butt?

    I don't cook by temp. Temperature is just a guide. As far as Boston butts go, if it's done, and by done I mean the bone pulls out easily with very little effort, and it's at 195, fine. If the bone doesn't do that until 203, so be it. It's done when its done.
