Did the wind pick up during your cook? I don't have any wind protection where I smoke and when the wind picks up it causes my WSM temps to plummet. Dan

Dwain, I'm tempted to go for it as it sounds like fun but only if I can do all six butts at once as Bill suggested. Also I'm only responsible for the pulled pork itself....other members are responsible for the fixings, drinks, etc. Bill, thank you for your reply. I had pretty much given up...

Wow is right. Thank you Russell.

I've been asked by my local FOP if I would make some smoke pulled pork for an upcoming banquet. I am flattered and hesitant at the same time....I only have a 18.5wsm. I know this question has been asked many times but darned if I can find it. How many pork butts would it take to make 100...

Is there a set temp that the meat will hit "the stall" when smoking? Also is the temp the same for brisket as it is a pork shoulder butt? Thanks, Dan

Smokinlicious for me. I've. Tried several different woods but think I will only maintain a supply of cherry and Hickory. I love the smell of those two when I sitting by the smoker enjoying a brew. Dan

Ok so it sounds like I shouldn't worry too much about the smoke ring. Just really wanted to understand what was going on with it. Bob, I use Texasbbqrub's Brisket Rub which is the same rub Ive always used. The ingredients don't list sodium nitrate but don't know for sure. Dan

Randy, sorry I left out those details. I did not wrap at all and put the brisket on immediately after dumping my full chimney of lit kingsford regular. I used a half full water pan. Had the brisket fat side down. One thing different I guess is I'm now using smoke wood ordered online from...

Smoked a choice 13lb packer last night. Came out great except for the almost non existent smoke ring. Had good smokey flavor, was moist on pull test, had great bark....just a paper thin smoke ring. I stayed within 225-275 the entire cook and used red oak with three hickory chunks. I would say...

I don't have a meat market in my town so my local choices are Kroger & Walmart. A while back Wally started caring these ribs which I love (shown this pic before but what the heck) So today I go visit Wally to find something to smoke this weekend. Had a big pork shoulder in my hand when I...

Thanks all. Matt, our local Wally carries those Smithfields too butt a little further down the isle in the "all natural" section are these Farmlands.

Gotta say I'm developing a good reputation for my ribs among family & friends. I'm sure they're just being nice but all comment they are better than any restaurant ribs they've had. Love these all natural ribs my local Walmart carries. Anyway here are a few before after pics. Sorry the last...

I used the beer can chicken recipe on the main page of this site that calls for temps 225-250dg. Will try the higher temp method. Thanks

I've smoked two beer can chickens on my WSM and both turned out good with great smokey flavor. Only downside was the rubbery skin which we did not eat. I understand I need to cook at higher temps if I want crisper skin which brings me to my questions.... I was thinking of smoking the chicken...

Dwain, no disconnect problems yet. Seems to working great but of course this is my first time using it. I've always tried to put the meat in the center so it's directly over my water pan. My ambient probe is also still over the water pan but towards the outside with its tip pointed inward...

Put a 4lb Brisket flat on and first time using my new iGrill. I know many others have said this but.....I am surprised at the difference between the iGrill ambient temp and the WSM dome temp. My iGrill ambient temp is holding steady at 255dg while dome temp reads 225dg. From what I've read this...

Looks great & thanks for your follow up post on the iGrill.

Thanks all. Dwain, will look forward to hearing about your upcoming smoke using your iGrill. Think I will go ahead and get it as there seems to be good & bad reviews for about every similar device. Thanks again, Dan

Think I'm ready to get my first remote therm. Looking at igrill since I have iPhone and iPad. Amazon reviews are fairly mixed with complaints mostly about Bluetooth connectivity and probe durability. So igrill owners please give me your honest opinions. Also I'm not ready to drill holes in...
