I am fairly sure that I get the best quality from the butcher. I am fairly sure that Sams or Wal-Mart has better prices most of the time. The service at the butcher shop is much better. If I wanted the absolute best quality I would hit up the butcher shop.

After reading page one, next time I think I will be able to get it up.

Thanks Chris. Does this further define proper cooking methods and help to control desired temperature expectations? That is if you want to run it hot put the lit coals on the bottom and add unlit coals on top. When you want it to run normal and long put the lit coals on the top of unlit coals...

Dave, Did you put the lit coals in the bottom underneath unlit coals? Only 2 chimneys of charcoal?

I added a full chimney. Probably should have let it ash over completely. Also should have put the lit coals on the bottom rather than the top.

Smoked a 10.7 lb. turkey this weekend and had consistent problems trying to get the temperature over 250 degrees. The Kingsford charcoal was dry (actually new ~$10 for 40lb at Homeydepot). I used the Minion method and filled the charcoal space on the WSM full of charcoal + coals + dry seasoned...

Show up at noon with a fresh turkey.

I was a bad boy and said nothing.

It is really really cool how it keeps the temperature constant.

When I ran water, I used hot water to get the WSM to temp quicker (like almost immediately). No big deal. Just did not want to waist an hour getting the WSM to the proper operating temperature. The last butt I did I was using water in the pan. As the time passed there was less charcoal but less...

Thank you Stogie!!!

When you are selecting the meat. If the butcher mistakenly puts the price per pound significantly less that the listed price do you correct him or tell him you changed your mind; that you want twice as much? What is the standard price for baby back ribs? The list price is about $4.50 around here.

Just finished the trial cook. Layered oatmeal and peanut butter, chocolate and raspberry brownies. Complements most smoked meat and pork meals. RASPBERRY JAM Make or buy about 2 cups Raspberry Jam. (To make, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch in medium saucepan. Stir in ~1/2 cup...

For my Weber gas grill, I hooked up my house propane tank. 500 gal. Well worth the time spent.

Would be a good show for the cooking channel on TV. So Chris, any books planned?

"Brinkman pan and filled it to 1.5 inches from the top" I think that translates to a full WSN pan. I'll should add more sand. So far I am thinking I am running a bit hot.

"...call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-446-1071 to order. Open 24 hours" From www.weber.com Nice people.

I also like the clean-up. I thought at first I would have problems with a slower start (cold sand vs. hot water) but so far no problems. I have no proof but I am thinking I have a slight increase in operating temp? How much sand are you running with?

Maybe a bad batch. Mine was without defect out of the box.

It will work. Until mine died, (the weber would not calibrate and out of frustration one day I killed it) I used it to keep an eye on the temp. Just stick it through the top. A simple long (10") turkey thermometer also works. Best thing is to learn how to approximate the time. What is best...
