I love the stay at home romantic dinner. no crowd, costs less, and tastes better! Congrats on your 33yrs!

36lbs is over a pound per person and 8 of them are kids. I think I'd go with about half a pound per person, so 18-20lbs should be fine. In my experience I can't get the 325-350° range on the wsm less i remove the water pan.

Excellent pictures! Everything looks amazing!

Just order Franklin's book yesterday. looking forward to it!

Great looking ribs!

Lookin forward to seeing some sliced pix!

I agree with a lot of whats been said here. Whenever I smoke a butt or brisket its an overnight cook. The wsm is great at that. your first few you probably won't get much sleep, but as you gain experience you'll sleep just fine. You'll want to get a wireless thermometer, it makes live Sooo much...

I would of "liked" it too, but I don't know where the "like" button is.

I also haven't noticed much,if any, difference in my burn times. I use KBB all the time.

Don't be afraid of the overnight cook. If you know your wsm it should be fine. The wsm holds temp really well, and you should be able to get plenty of sleep. Fresh BBQ is best, not leftovers. you can do it!

Sounds good!

I do a 2-45mins-15mins at 275° for bb ribs. Just right. If ya like them falling of the bone more go a full hour in the foil.

Its not the wsm! Thats bbq man! It takes time, and at 160° you still have a long ways to go. 195-200° is what you need. Butts and briskets hit the stall and it takes hours to push through. learn from your mistakes and try again. If you don't have patience then bbq is not for you. I just did 2...

So how did it go? any pix?

22.5"wsm is Big Smokey, the 18.5"wsm...Little Smokey. Pretty creative eh? The Lang 84 is known as "The Beast"

I don't think that I would do it. like you said, probably doesn't create enough of a draft.

I cook my butts 250-275° a 9lb'er should take 12-14hrs. Might have to add some coals, but the 18.5"wsm can run for a long time on a full ring of fresh coals.

I've added unlit many times. It will take your temps down for 15-20mins. On my 18.5"wsm I did the upside down mod on my door (can be found in the mods section on virtualweberbullet.com) Gives it better air flow to help startthe unlit. If your temps are dropping cuz your running out of coals add lit.

When I first got my wsm I just cleaned off the grates and started cooking. with a new wsm I'd recommend using water in the pan to help keeps temps down to the range you want, then give it a try w/o water in the pan. I prefer no water myself, but try different methods and see what you like...

I like doing BB ribs at 275° 2hrs, 45mins wrapped in foil, then sauced for 15mins.
