    A preemptive THANK YOU

    Great story, Brian. When I was a kid, my exposure to BBQ and grilling was nothing short of pitiful. As an adult, you can turn that around. I never had kids of my own, but if I did, they would be masters of the grill, as well as the BBQ.

    How many pigs will be sacrificed in support of Smoke Day this year? :)

    WSM newbie - temperature control

    I fill the charcoal up as much as possible, then remove 20 coals from the center. They get lit in the chimney, then I pour them into the hole. Adjust the vents correctly, and that gives me eight hours of fairly steady temperatures. I usually fill the bowl with hot water, but I've used cold water...

    Second cook Pork Butt How many lit coals

    I usually do a full load of coal with 15 or 20 lit. I pour them into a hole in the center. I would plan on 12 or 13 hours to get it done.

    What's in your backyard?

    I'm a Performer nut also. I probably use it five times per week. But the weekends are special. That's when the WSM gets used. :)

    Covering the water pan

    Ouch! That's hot. Maybe you don't need any charcoal? :)

    Carolina Pulled Pork

    I've used that same rub for more than ten years, now. I haven't deviated from Chris' Renowned Mr. Brown recipe since joining TVWBB. Although I'm thinking of trying a mustard finishing sauce one of these days! Maybe this year? I hate to mess with (repeated) success! :)

    My 26" Performer

    Lol First thing I thought of, is where does the lid go? The hinge made it perfect!

    Welcome to WSM Smoke Day 13: May 27, 2017

    Can't wait! There is going to be some Billy Idol playing, as the smoker is rockin and rolling. :)

    My Dual WSM Cart Build

    I like the checker board paint job. So when do we get to see 16 butts cooking? :)

    Any Tappecue Users?

    I use a Maverick currently, and I've never had an issue. I do plan to get a Smoke when they get the WiFi sorted out. WiFi is the ultimate solution to the connectivity issue IMHO, at least when cooking in the home environment.

    WSM 14.5 - First cook results with pics + temperature logs!

    Wow, that looks delicious. Start a bit earlier next time. That's how I get through the stall. I usually do an eight to ten pounder, and I allow 12 to 14 hours for the cook. I never wrap a butt, but I always mop.

    BBQ Season is coming!

    I agree. It's no fun going outside at 2 AM when it's cold. There are also the sounds of summer that are missing. Plus, who wants to crack a beer that's going to freeze when you're not at a football game? lol

    Is the heat shield necessary?

    Mine sits on a stone patio, so it's just there for looks.
