Looks awesome! Is that a 22.5 or 18.5 wsm?

From my experience, what little there is, a butt feeds a lot of people. I made a 5 pound butt and it fed 6 people for 2-3 servings with lots of leftovers. Also, don't go by the time guidelines as definite. Give plenty of time for that thing to cook. I've had butts go 3-4 hours past the rule...

Whenever I've cooked chicken, it was usually always legs and thighs only or breasts only, therefore I usually buy the pre-cut stuff. It's very rare that I roast or BBQ a whole chicken. I know it would be cheaper to buy a whole chicken and butcher it myself, but when you're serving 10+ people...

If I only have a few briquettes to light, I usually turn my standard size chimney upside down and put them on what would be the bottom end. It's worked fine so far. I've lit as few as 6 briquettes this way

Very interesting. I was going to make that exact basket for my Smokey Joe mini WSM conversion. Did you have issues with ash clogging up the air at all?

I've been using Competition because I had 3 big bags and I'm trying to get through them so I can get the original blue bags. If I do use this again, I may move the fire bricks in closer together to give the snake more room to breath.

Those look great! I've had the pre-rubbed tri tip from Costco but I baked it in the oven. To me the taste was great. I've been wanting to try their ribs too, I just might after seeing this

Ok, so I fired the snake up early Sunday morning at about 12:30am, got her up to temp and laid the meat down at around 1am. The wife woke me up just before 8am and asked if I needed to check the BBQ so I got up and was pleased to find that kettle held the temperature at 275. I don't yet have a...

Oh yes I forgot to mention that I was going to do that. You can actually see the pan that I'm going to use on top of the cinder block on the top of the pic but I didn't put it in yet cause it was all cruddy and oily from my last cook. I'll go ahead and try this. I'm still new to smoking so I'm...

Hello all! This is my first time using the snake method and I was wondering if the use of fire bricks will be a benefit as it does with the modified minion? Or is it just overkill. Every picture and post I've seen does not use any sort of barrier and I would think that you'd still get some...

Hello all! First of all, I'd like to say that I REALLY appreciate this site. I've only been lurking for a few weeks, but it's saved me so much money already. I've had Weber Kettles for a long time but I've mainly used them for grilling. I've BBQ'd ribs and other meats before but nothing...
