I have the 22.5 and she holds pretty steady around 275* with the top vent open, two bottoms closed and minor adjustment of the third. I have added the CB door and the BBQGaskets gaskets to mine. She is almost airtight, so the temps are usually really stable and she shuts down in about an...

Love me a good Philly Cheesesteak. I have never tried them on the grill, but I also don't have a griddle for my grill. I have the Grill Grates which can be flipped, but they have holes, so that wouldn't work. I do have a griddle pan for inside, and that's where I have made mine in the...

Thanks for the suggestions Tim...

Nice job. What's the 2 X 4 for?

I did 4 bone in butts, all averaged about 8.5 lbs each, for a party of 50 people (didn't count, there was probably more). My WSM likes to run around 275*, so that's what I cooked at. Smoked for 4 hours nekkid and then I put them in pans and foiled them. They were done after a total of...

I just turn on the gas and then light it up. They get moving rather quickly... (I am kidding)

Tim, This is the first time I have had to use something to insulate my WSM and I got this suggestion from either here or one of the other couple BBQ sites I belong to. I didn't know the welders blanket was made of unsealed fiberglass, or I would have worn gloves the first time. I gather...

Nice mod John...

Yep, barrel probably out of round. Measure it several times across the top and find the spot that is wider, pick it up and give it a gentle bear hug (wear an old shirt if it is dirty). Measure it again. When good, flip it and do the same on the bottom. Congrats on your steal...

Fill the charcoal basket with KBB, light a small section (three or four briquettes wide) with the Flame Thrower. I usually light the center, but if I am going to be using the Pitmaster IQ120, I will light the coals right in front of the vent the IQ is connected to...

That actually might be better than the welders blanket. The blanket is made of fiberglass, so you need to wear gloves when handling it. Don't ask how I know... BTW, did you know that you can use packing or duct tape to remove fiberglass splinters?

I use the minion method, as in I fill my charcoal basket full of KBB and then point the flame thrower at it until a section of the coals are good and started. I then give it about 5 mins to get good and going before I assemble the WSM. I always wait until I get Thin Blue Smoke and then I add...

I ran into issues Monday due to a cold northern wind. Finally got a chance to use that welders blanket I bought. Worked great. Wrapped it up and the temps jumped up 10+ degrees and then started to climb back to my pits normal 275* area.

I do my SLC ribs in just under 4 hours. Trim the ribs and rub them down. We like our food a little spicy, so I found the following rub mixture: • 2 tablespoons paprika • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper • 1 tablespoon brown sugar • 1 teaspoon kosher salt • 1/2 teaspoon...

Yeah, I have the 22 and have gotten somewhere around 13 hours before I shut it down. Next day I looked and I might have got another hour or two. I have the CB door and also added the gaskets. I feel it runs more efficiently, and it also shuts down faster when I close the vents.

That looks pretty cool. Let us know how it turns out...

Oh, and don't wear a nice shirt if the WSM is seasoned. Don't ask me how I know...

Congrats on your new toy! I agree with Charles on all points. Especially #4. If it is just you two, have fun with it. If it is for a big family gathering, either wait until next year or make sure you have a backup plan like a second bird in the oven.

We were planning on inviting friends over, so I got the turkey and ham purchased and in the freezer. Then, we decided not to, so I am saving them for Christmas when the son will be home. Bought us a couple choice ribeyes, some scallops I am going to wrap in bacon, and a nice salad. A meal...

Yep, no mopping or spritzing here either. Not enough added benefit and makes for a longer cook and possibly added clean up.
