Stupid question alert. It wasn't the MatchLight, was it?

Chris - 1) Is the access door design same as existing model (better or same seal)? 2) I sometimes set up my WSM for grilling (charcoal in middle section). Does it look like the new 22 will support that scheme? Thanks for the early look!

+1 on Sonny Bryan's Inwood shack. My most recent visit was in January - still very good, honest BBQ in a no-frills site. Get there by 11:30. There are a hundred other corporate Q places that are OK, better than what we have in NY/NJ, but not as good as your backyard cook.

If you don't have a side burner, you can find one of these on sale at a big-box sporting goods store for $10-15: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1290166 3 minutes is all it takes.

I just tried the Morton' tritip from CostCo last night. No fat cap. Grilled it on medium. Very tender, I think they overapplied the papaya. And it was salty to my taste, but my son loved it. The only place I can get plain tri's is at Trader Joes.

I do this same cook frequently - nice combination for the guests. The ribs get a light sauce glaze, then quickly wrapped, and then sliced about 1-2 hours later. Sometime I hold in the oven at 170, sometime just in a cooler w/ newspaper. After the ribs are off the grill, open all vents 100%...

I bought pecan from Nature's Own last year. Very satisfied with product and price. I've purchased alder, apple & cherry from Cabela's. Also very good. As I smoke more, I'm finding that less is more, and I'm probably using half the chunk count that I used to throw on (2 or 3 small ones).

Try the old Weber kettle trick: Tilt your lid open a crack. It typically gets me 25 more degrees on a hi-temp cook.

My temp control became a lot more effective when I taped the door shut w/ aluminum tape. I burn lump and it's very sensitive to air supply. No matter how tight a seal you think your door has, it doesn't. If you're running waterless, you'll have no need for the door anyway.

Some Weber gassers come with a side burner designed especially for lighting a half-chimney of lump

This is my house rub, courtesy of Goode Co. BBQ in Texas. I add very little salt, cut back the paprika a bit, and add a dash of ground chipolte. I triple the recipe anounts whenever I make a batch. It works very well on brisket, butts & ribs: 2 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons...

Here's a home-made jacket. Not as pretty as yours, but no smokey/gooey buildup either: Photo http://mywebpages.comcast.net/540perry/540perry/Misc/20...62856AA_edited-1.jpg Thermo http://mywebpages.comcast.net/540perry/540perry/Misc/20...62944AA_edited-1.jpg Guru...

Thank you. I looked it up, and that is the very place I went to last time. I'll be back.

I'll be in NW San Antone next week, have not been down there for some years. What are the favored Q places these day? I remember a place up in Boerne, just off the highway, kind of a family dive that was great. Any suggestions appreciated.

I have the PitMinder - picked it over the others because I just wanted temp control, didn't need the other features, and the price was right. It is reliable, keeps a steady temp, and you'll get much longer unattended burn times than with the standard water pan set-up. It's important w/ any of...

A piece (or a roll, more likely) of Reflectrix from HD or Lowe's can be used to make this crude but effective smoker jacket, which will do the job ir rain, snow, wind, etc.: Schematic http://mywebpages.comcast.net/540perry/540perry/Misc/WSM_blanket.jpg Photo...

+1 on tightening the door (or lose it altogether). A way to nest oven gasket in the seams to tighten the unit up (air control is everything). With those changes, no water pan is necessary, so either a Piedmont pan or other type of baffle. 1 additional lid vent and 1 or 2 additional bottom...

Hickory & mesquite are at any Big Box, I've used Cabela's for other woods. They don't kill you on shipping and it's quality. My front yard also has a pin oak and a maple which got pruned earlier this year Maybe your new neighbors need some pruning help too.
