Its always been my bro-in-law and I but this year we decided we needed another body to help out. So I conned my older bro to help out at the snowshoe. We'll see how it goes.

Well, I guess its just you and I mike...I'll try to go easy on you this year.

The big day. First comp of the year. The snowshoe. I always look forward to this first comp of the season not only because I get to shake the snow off'n my smoker and kettle but it is a good cause. Who is going to compete at the snowshoe this year?

Like most everyone else, I researched smokers (actually I was looking at BGE's) then was looking at a more affordable WSMs. I'm glad I went with the WSM.

I was an automotive tech for 32 years (right outta HS). Last year I had my left elbow replaced and now work as a Service advisor for a Buick GMC dealership.

When I first made this dish my wife crinkled her nose because of the onions. We have been together for 20 years and she never would let me cook with onions, every dish I made, I would have to make an onion free one. Well I finally got beligerant and put my foot down! The smell of it cooking was...

Y'ah s'posed to clean 'em? Winter time is the best time fer smokin. Nothing like the smell of hickory n ribs wafting through the air. I clean mine once a year at the local steam and suck (truck wash). Blow out the big chunks.

I've done plenty of charcoal only cooks and I think they taste just as good without wood. I think if your smoker is seasoned the heat will heat whats stuck on the sides and it will smoke regardless. I know that my wsm has got at least 3 years of "seasonings" on it.

I found this little breakfast/lunch joint down in Onset village Massachusetts this past summer and they served the best Biscuits and gravy I have ever had. (I was stationed in TX years ago and had that for B'fast almost every morning). I've been looking for the recipe for the gravy but none I...

I used hickory lightly. Also a spicy mustard slather and sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning got me 5th place in a competition. : )

I thought of using the pre drilled holes also but looking at the position of the handles it would require a lot of lifting pressure on your wrists as opossed to handles directly across from each other. I opted to use 2 garage door handles, bent the mounting slightly to match the curve of the...

Ain't seen ribs that size 'round here. I wish! Looks good man.

Chicken on top or chicken on bottom. Personally I would go with the chix on top. They do cook faster and as a result will dry out quicker too. On top it is easier to mop them (recommended), then when you hit your target temp move them off, foil and hold. Then move your brisket, butts, ribs...

I've re-used charcoal also and have'nt had a problem. Could be from grease drippings.

I don't go for those fruity or flavored beers. I like a pils or lager but thats about it. And it has to be ice cold! I learned to drink warm beer in Germany years ago but have since lost my taste for it.

I do more fresh shoulder (picnics) than butts only because they are cheaper. They tend to run a little dryer but I always mix in a little apple juice and apple cider vinegar with it. Just enough to moisten. I sell sammies at our youth softball tournaments and games and usually sell out real...

I use the big embrella. I have also seen people use a top from a 40 or 50 gal rubbermaid trash can. The handle fits right over the handle of the WSM's lid. The lid seems to not get hot enough to melt the rubber maid lid.

How did it taste? I would think that 4 chunks of mesquite would be a little over powering. Maybe not. I'm just a miser when it comes to smoke wood, especially mesquite since its so strong.

You can see the reflection of the grate in the side of the body! Thats ok, it won't last. I have 2 years of funk built up on the inside of mine and I was considering scraping it off but I figure hey, it's insulation! I see your top temp guage reads higher than the actual temp. Mine reads...
