Should be smoking 8 lbs. of beef short ribs on Sunday. Checked out an Asian supermarket which was recommended for good prices on fresh meat. Short ribs were 2$/lbs., but I think they have less meat than usual (first time I’m doing beef ribs, actually). Also got a picnic that I’ll marinade and...

Thanks for the feedback! It’s a fun learning experience. Grate size is part of the reason for taking these pics. Hoping that people who are thinking about getting a 14.5" won’t be discouraged. YMMV but, FWIW, it does fit enough food for my needs and, as a compulsive pedestrian, I love the small...

Didn’t realize this was the subforum for galleries. Posted my first one in the “new WSM owner” subforum. Also blogged it. Short version…

Right, pictures… Didn’t think about that, though I took a lot of them. Just blogged some. Also posted them here.

Should do my second cook, this weekend. We’ll see if I get similar results. Guess my concern is unwarranted. It’s not because I maintained a low temperature with some water that it risks burning even lower in other conditions. Could try with an empty pan, next time I do poultry. Just thought...

Howdy, Got my 14.5" Bullet, a couple of days ago, as a birthday gift from my amazing partner (she knows me well), and as an upgrade from a Cheapo Offset Smoker. What a difference it makes! I’m a French-speaking ethnographer from Montreal, now residing in Hull, Qc. Hull is part of Gatineau...
