I have one of the BBQ Guru Thermometers. No, it can't be calibrated. I use the stopper through one of the top vent holes. It works fine there. Not sure if it has threads for "through the dome" mounting. I don't think so. MikeZ

I have a Pitminder. I use it all the time. I guess I just enjoy sleeping all night. MikeZ

I too built and installed handles similar to the ones on my kettle. I'm now going to redo them with angle clips bolted to my WSM and hinge pins to the handle bracket so the handles can be folded down when not in use to get my cover to fit. I installed mine horizontal near the top as opposed to...

Search the site for similar posts on this subject. I'm sure I read: 1/4 lb./person and that you only get about 50% from the weight of the whole uncooked butt. I did (6) 8 lb. butts for 75 people a few months ago. Remember that all the people might not want to eat pork. I made some...

I know this isn't the opinion of most of the WSM users out there but, I keep both of my WSM's as clean as the day I put them together. MikeZ

Temperature was too high! Try using the Minion Method for starting your charcoal. Throw away the book that came with your WSM. Foil. Try the "Competition Ribs" recipe on this site. OMO MikeZ

Be careful! I added handles identical to the dimensions for the strap material used for the lid. Now my cover won't fit. I'm planning on modifying the handles so they fold down when not in use. MikeZ

Someone was looking for wooden replacement handles. I saw these on ebay. MikeZ http://cgi.ebay.com/WEBER-GRILL-HANDLE-KIT-CUSTOM-MADE-...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ron, First purchase some sort on temperature measurement device. Maverick, NuTemp, etc. This makes things a little easier. You don't NEED these if you have a good thermometer. Keep a log. I usually write down vent settings, internal meat temp, grate temp and lid temps. I also log when I open...

I have one for my "RED" kettle. The only problem I've found is that the cover won't fit ovet it. MikeZ

That's all I use (the original) now on butts. I also sprinkle a little on after it's pulled with a little apple juice. MikeZ

I saw one in an ACE Hardware in Pennsylvania for $199.00 this weekend. MikeZ

Tom & Bill & Jim, Tom: Yes, he has a place in Toano. I ate there on Tuesday night. He has several locations. I think he started in Kilmarnock, VA (Northern Neck). The place is nothing special. Just like all of his other places. The food is great! (IMHO). Bill: It may be? I know he has...

I go to a local place called "Smokin Joes" They use a Buffalo Chopper for their chopped BBQ. I was hoping to get that same consistancy with the grinder and the coarse plate. MikeZ

Has anyone ever tried putting BBQ through the coarse grid screen of a Kitchen-Aid Mixer with the grinder attachment? MikeZ

Why not smoke the butts ahead of time, pull them, and put the que in large disposable aluminum pans. Reheat in your oven or in a crock pot the day of the event. Save yourself all that worry about things getting done on time. That's what I did for my Mom's 80th birthday party last year. It...

I'm helping a freind smoke some salmon on Sunday. She told me she was going to brine it. Can I use the Minion Method for starting the charcoal? I looked in the cooking section and they seem to start out high temps then close down the vents to get to 225. Is there anything else special I should...

Here's a place you can find Humphrey Lump. It's pretty good stuff. Pottstown Roller Mills 625 Industrial Highway Pottstown, PA 19464 Phone (610) 323-8620 MikeZ

It all depends on how much time I have. I've done it the night before and just before lighting my chimmney. I really don't think there's a bad way. MikeZ

They sell it at Sam's Club. It usually comes in a gallon container along with a smaller spray bottle. I've also bought the gallon size at Lowes. MikeZ
