Air infiltration from any source will feed the flames, so to speak, and the sum total of air infiltration is going to matter. In addition to the door, be sure you have a handle on other possible sources or your efforts will be in vain. With smoke marks around the lid, that's where I'd be...

I think the Performer comes with baskets like this: http://www.amazon.com/Weber-74...MGM4/ref=pd_sim_lg_1 I use them for indirect cooks but nearly always use a charcoal chimney for lighting the charcoal. Like others have said, use a full or nearly full chimney and shut the vents when you're...

It's nice to have someone like Jeff in the neighborhood. I can show SWMBO a picture of his collection and point out that I'm not even close.

Hi Dan (and welcome to TVWBB.) I could use the left side (opposite the end with the thermometer) to replace a part on mine that cracked in an unfortunate fall. Of course if someone wants the entire hood, go with that. But if you don't get any interest and don't mind taking it apart, let me...

I've tried several different kinds of wood and find that Cherry is particularly good with Salmon. (That's smoking at about 225° F, not cold smoking.)

For a traditional sauce I go with Sweet baby Ray's. For pulled pork, I make Big Daddy’s Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce

Conventional wisdom is not to use soft woods (conifers) for smoking, but there is prior art on this one. I'd find out what I could about how it is used and give it a try. I have heard numerous times that black walnut is poisonous and will give food a bitter flavor but I use it regularly with...

That's the right decision IMO. I would also give the gas assist a shot. I use a side burner for lighting charcoal and as easy as it is to use some paper and a charcoal chimney, I find propane and charcoal chimney easier and faster. You only use the propane for a minute or two so the bottle...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned rain. In my experience a good heavy rain can do more to affect temperature than anything with wind next and ambient temperature following. Of course any of the three can dominate on a given day and as noted, altitude has an impact too (though it usually doesn't...

I have an old one. Were I to buy new today, I would spend the extra $$$ and get a Performer. I think the single larger work surface would be much more useful. I also might go for gas assist. Propane is the lazy bum's way to light charcoal. Were I to buy today, I'd probably look for an older...

Vary cool! Nice addition to the collection.

I'm sure you can smoke pulled pork on a kettle but the WSM is designed from the ground up to do that and it does it well (and with less effort on your part.) If you have more time than money or a penchant for DIY projects, a UDS would probably be a good project, but I've always felt that the...

Pictures or it didn't happen! Just kidding. It's amazing the results we can get with these smokers. As you get more familiar with your smoker it only gets better too.
