    How much charcoal will fit in your WSM and how long...

    I usually get about a half of an 11 pound bag of week end warrior in mine and it lasts great. I do use a guru and that extends the charcoal life I just finished a 16.5 hour smoke with some to spare and overnight temps were in the 20's

    first brisket in wsm

    It was frosty before I lit it after that nice and warm. I finally pulled the brisket off at 2:30. internal temp 189 and fork tender seemed plenty juicy when I took the probe out. I have it resting in many layers of foil and in a warmed microwave. dinners at 6 I'll let you know how it turned out

    First cook in the new WSM...some ? and lessons learned (long)

    The chicken over ribs should not be a problem given that you cook the ribs past 165 and thus kill anything that may have contaminated it. I was also wondering about the skin at that temp. I seem to have to keep my temps around 350 for good chicken skin. sounds like a great first cook.

    first brisket in wsm

    Kevin, since you seem to have a huge amount of exerience and your advice always seems spot on I will bump the temp up a little. what do you think for cooking time at 240-250 for about 9 pounds? I want to rest it for a couple or three hours but not more than that.

    first brisket in wsm

    I Picked this up at wholefoods (where I work) so I was able to get a good look at it and the advice of our meat cutter. It is an organic from a small farm in vermont it is very fresh. we recieved it this week and the lack of juices in the cryovak lead me to believe that it really is that fresh...

    Ron, I have not used kiln dried wood, but I hear it lacks flavor as far as the year of seasoning this is something I often question as when I worked for a bbq place that was quite good and had won several comps they bought wood that was about two months or less old. Now we only used wood for...

    mmm. meatloaf

    Mike, I made two loaves and put them on parchment paper on the grate both on top. I use a guru so no water in the pan. I started the meatloafs at about 325 degrees but they were cooking to fast so I turned it down to 275. they took about 2 hours, but you can do it quicker if you leave the temps...

    Tenderloin tapas

    those sound really good. what is the pepper like? I have never seen them up north, but that isn't too suprising. I have only recently been able to buy pure chili powders locally and only a couple of varieties.
