    Lurker, finally smoked something

    Looks like one darn good fatty. I love to stuff them myself, but that's another discussion. Lol Congratulations on the new WSM.

    Smoking ribs on 22 WSM for first time. Cold. Advice

    Excellent point, Al. Mine always tastes better (to me) the next day. As for water vs. no water, I wonder if that really has any effect on taste? It comes up in virtually every thread, no matter the topic.

    Butter Separating from BBQ sauce

    Shake it, before you use it? :)

    Boneless Turkey Breast - Cooking Temp

    Boneless breast? I'd do it indirect on the kettle (Performer here) with one chunk of pecan. That will free up the WSM for whatever. How much does the boneless breast weigh? A bone in breast usually takes an hour or an hour and a half in my neck of the woods (at 350 to 400).

    Christmas Smoke

    We're having Osso Buco (Veal) on Christmas day. It's a tradition here. But I have the next two weeks off from work, so I'm sure I'll smoke a thing or two. :)

    Newbie and temp issues 18.5 in UK, any help appreciated

    I would guess there might be something wrong with your charcoal (damp??). I've always had the opposite problem . I usually need to choke back the vents in order to avoid getting too hot. A full chimney of lit would have me well over 300 with the vents fully open.

    Thanksgiving Turkey Results

    That's a good looking bird. What kind of wood did you use? I love pecan with turkey!

    Sounds like a great recipe. Let us know how it turned out!

    How much do you cook?

    I don't understand, what is the problem? :)

    Best wood to smoke the bird? Pecan any good?

    I love pecan with turkey. One chunk maximum.

    is this cheating?

    It's cheating, but who cares? LOL Cheaters usually win! Enjoy the bird, my friend. :)

    "Mushy" bark

    I have to agree. I'm a relative newcomer to the WSM (just eleven years), but I use water for every cook, and have never seen an issue. I think we're missing something.

    Dear Santa, For Christmas I would like.......

    I live in America, and I wouldn't mind getting in on one of Kevin Kolman' s classes at Weber in Chicago.

    WSM 18.5 - do you actually use your door for a 'typical' smoke?

    Relax, don't worry, have a beer. That smoke leaking around the door is meaningless.

    2nd time using the WSM 22, first time all night, brisket

    I agree with Chuck. A full brisket is usually done in ten hours. I've never seen the need for an over-nighter, unless it's for lunch.

    Is this Acurite thermometer any good?

    Last year, around this time, Amazon had the Maverick 733 for $49 on sale. I would hold out for a few weeks, and see if it happens again.

    Question about meat drippings

    During WWII people saved the drippings from the kitchen for the war effort. Somehow the military industrial complex used them to manufacture high explosives. So, unrelated to B-B-Q, but yet another use for grease drippings.

    I should be a new WSM owner

    I've never had anything but good experiences with Amazon. I got both my Performer (2006) and two WSMs (2005 and 2011) from them. I love them all. I'm also a Prime member, and I buy hundreds of items from them every year. With the exception of Home Cheapo and Lowe's, haven't been to the shopping...

    Sad day today for my brisket.

    Oh boy, that stinks. Get yourself a remote thermometer. It would have paid for itself in one cook.
