    Big Green Egg difference from WSM

    Flashback is easy to avoid if you open the top in the correct order. Close the bottom vent. Open the top vent. Open the top. No flashback. Do it every time.

    Expanding my arsenal

    Has anyone ever made a smoker out of a beer keg. It seems like a nice size. Maybe it could be cut across a chord somewhat above the middle to give more room above the charcoal. I admit to knowing very little about home grill construction. Any comments or ideas?

    Handles on the lower grate might be worth doing.

    The Weber WSM (Possible Redesign)

    I don't see the point in most of these things. My Wsm cooks fine without them. 1 Increase the size. I can cook 40 lbs or so of meat on this size. Increasing the size would just make it burn more charcoal to do the same thing. Most people just don't cook more meat on a regular basis. 2...

    Rib Rub

    I cooked this recipe today. It was very good but the final flavor left me with a question. With all the spicy, hot elements Why was the final product not hot? Do the red, green, white peppers and ginger just lose their heat in this type of cook? The dipping sauce was the salvation of the...

    Smokey Joe Silver steady temps probems

    First Cook

    Great You did it just right. My only suggestion is that you get a spiral notebook and keep a log of every cook. Enter the recipe, rub, marinade, whatever your do to the meat. Also enter all the cooking details, charcoal, times, everything. If you do this you can duplicate or improve every...

    Still not smoking *****

    Bryan Let me tell you a story about smoking. My mother died of smoking in 1984 just days after my son was born. She never got to meet him...and he never got to meet her. One of the last things she told me was that she would like a smoke if the dr would just give her some. That craving takes...

    high heat finish for butts

    Why not start thhen at 9pm the evening before and have 15 hours before noon on race day. That way you have pleny of time for the WSM to do that LOW and SLOW magic it was designed for.

    Slicing Ribs ?

    Maybe I missed the sliced ribs as art thing. I always just cut them apart with a sharp knife and eat the meat off the bone.

    Burnt crud in Cast Iron Skillet *****

    We always use a stainless steel scrub pad to clean the skillet after each use. Copper and all the other pads are too soft. No soap and dry over the heat for a minute.

    Newbie needs advice...Charcoal or Electric Smoker

    One more note: Foil that water pan and just trash all the greasy leftovers. The pan will need only a quick rinse.

    Newbie needs advice...Charcoal or Electric Smoker

    The WSM works right out of the box. I've been cooking on mine for 17 months. I've added Minion starts and a top vent thermometer. Still start with a full pan of hot water and add water as needed through the door with a long spout watering can. It's all simple and works great. Go for it. I...
