    Getting ready to hit the order button 18.5 or 22"

    If you ever have thoughts of doing a competition then get the 22. I initially bought the 18" and had it for many years, then 3 years ago I bought the 22 and have never been sorry. I still have the 18 also. In six months to a year you don't want to be cooking for a group of friends and family and...

    Thermometer issue

    I don't rely on the lid thermometer, I use a digital therm from Thermoworks for temps at the grate and on long cooks I use the Pitmaster IQUE 110 for temperature control. You can remove the lid therm and test it using the ice water and boiling water tests. I have no idea what the warranty on...

    Favorite brand of seasoned salt?

    Water or Sand

    Keith it's just that simple....kind of. If you're going to use a foiled, empty pan, you must control your temps on the way up. For example, if you want to cook in the 225-240 range, once your temp gets to about 205-210, close down two of your vents. Once it reaches 225-230...start closing down...

    Water or Sand

    I've been cooking on WSM's for 12 years. I started with water, went to sand, went to the clay saucer, tried the Piedmont Pan (don't ask), for the past several years I've just been using a foiled dry pan. All have their pro's and con's, but once you have gained enough experience using your...

Then open up...

    BBQ IQ110 - Worth It or Not

    I've had my IQ110 for 3 years and I have no complaints. Is the set temperature exact...NO, however, when you set the IQUE at 250 it will hold temps within 2-3 degrees of 250 one way or the other and that's close enough for me. Does it have all the bells and whistles of other much more expensive...

    Need help - I've lost my water pan and can't get up

    That saucer from Walmart is a clay/poly saucer. I think its made with some plastic. Make sure you look for a pure clay saucer.

    Makin' Some Bacon

    It's BACON DAY......finally! I set up the WSM with two charcoal baskets and filled the center trough with Chef Select briquettes. I left an empty spot at the end for about 8-10 lit coals. Using apple wood and 1 cherry chunk (mostly for color) Put the belly on at 10am, WSM hanging right at...

    Butterball pierces skin over breast meat

    Although I must say I've never noticed them on any Butterball I've cooked. BUT, I wasn't looking for them either.
