Bob looks good. I want to give this a try. I don’t have that pizza thing. But I’ll do something like this and throw it on the smoker or kettle on my next smoke!

Hello Amber. I realize that this post is a month old. When I first started out smoking. I use to do low and slow with chickens and turkeys. I hated how the skin came out Like rubber! The meat was good. Just good (but not great). Then I read that there is no reason to do low and slow with...

HelloTHoey For me, years ago I used to go by the WSM thermometer and tried to keep it at 225 and I wrap ribs. They came out good fall off the bone. Then I wanted to know how to do it if I didn’t wrap them and kept the temp at 225 with the WSM thermometer. Well they came out ok but a little dry...

Hello Joan LOL! My wife just asked me about smoking one for this Easter. I can’t believe I Haven't made this since then! Just yesterday I shared this paste with a friend. He was looking for something to smoke on Sunday And I told him to give this a smoke! LOL so now I went out got one from...

Hello David It sound like everything went well for one of your first smokes!! When I first started out I had the same results. Until I measured the grate temp and kept the grate temp at 225. Unfortunately just like me. You were thinking you were smoking at 225 and you were probably much higher...

Hello Dave. If you have a vacuum sealer. I would put it there and then when ready to heat it up. Put it right in a pot of water and boil it up vacuum sealed and all Maybe about 20min or so? When I cook for a party I usually make my pulled pork a week or so in advance and freeze it in the vacuum...

Hello Issom. Great video! I agree it looks like you can run it both ways. With the top vent open all the way, or 1/4 in open. Both ways hold temp. Maybe like you experienced, on very windy day, you might want to close top vent closed 1/4 to try to keep temps a little more stable? But as you...

Hello Mike. I bought the Fireboard 2 and the 20cm fan that Fireboard sell for it. I feel I have put it through some good testing. Which I have wrote about on this forum. Here is the link fireboard-2-drive-and-drive-blower-20cm-on-22-wsm As long as you have a handle on her (which it sounds like...

Hello Issom I started with the lite coals on and put the wsm together. It got up to about 185% on the wsm thermometer. That’s when I set the temp to 225 and that’s when the fan went on. Can’t wait to do an overnight brisket or pork butt now!

Hello all! I was able to get out and smoke some baby back yesterday. Well I am definitely very happy with the way the Fireboard and diver blower 20 cm worked! Issom, I was able to keep the top vent 100% open from the beginning to the end of the smoke. Smoked 3 racks of baby backs for 5hour. I...

I really want to keep that to vent open like you said. So next long cook I do I will try it!! I will report back!

Hello all. Finally weather was not too bad to get some smoke on. Decided to do some beef jerky. I started out with 5 lite coals and set the FireBoard to keep temps at 180. It came up to temp and only overshot to 190. Then settled in and got back to 180 in about 10+ min or so. After about 1 hour...

Hello Mike. That looks great!! If you get a chance take pic all around I like to see how you put it together. I’m have bin wanting to do this for a while. I have seen some on here. But yours looks great!!

Hello Michael. I can not comment on this book since I never read it. But you are going to get several different ways on how to set her up! The kicker is each person that post has their way of set her up and they are all right! The reason is because if it works for you then it is right! There are...

Not worth it!! Play it safe and do what Chris said. Go to plan B!!

Hello Kevin. I do just about the same technique And learned it from here many years ago Also!! I feel by burying the wood heats it up before it gets lite and therefore the smoke is just right for smoking. So I think Lynn is onto something!! But with that said you also have to know and use the...

Hello Antti. Years ago there was a thread on this great site. I had the same issue. But it is an easy fix! All you have to do is turn the middle section upside down put the lid top back on (of course with the damper in the closed position and cover it! That’s it. Water does not get in it. Just...

Grant you hit it right on the head! The realization of making better food than you can get at a bbq restaurant and making your own rubs and sauces to tailor to your taste is the big part of this whole thing we call smoking!!

Hello Issom. Thanks for your input! And Thanks for the pics too!! So you said “if running at 250 or lower with the top vent open 100% and my pit gets too hot. I was hoping that it would work with the top vent open fully. It looks like what I did with the top vent at 3/4 closed will keep her at...
