    Cooking time for 4 butts

    Mike, I did 6 of those from Costco on Smoke Day. Did the minion with K Comp,foiled pan and apple wood ..... it took 16 hours. I rotated at 12 hours, but that was the first time I opened the cooker. I've done more bone in than boneless, but these were as good or better than any I've cooked...

    Pork Butt 16 Pounder, what would you do?

    Tom, I smoked 6 of those from Costco (2 per package) Memorial Day weekend on the WSM. Mine took 16 hours, but it should be a little quicker with 2. I had a PP sammy every day last week for lunch with the leftovers. Go for it and enjoy!

    Kettle Lid Finish

    My old kettle was originally black but has faded to charcoal grey. This weekend I used the kettle to place the top rack from the WSM and got some butt juice on the hanging lid. It was dark so didn't notice until the morning. Any suggestions on removing the stain or refinishing the lid to...

    Reverse sear ?

    Eric, the Meat House in my area (Chelmsford MA) does have Tri Tip....definitely pricey, but they can get. I went to our local Costco today and they do not carry it, told me it was a "West Coast thing". I'll keep pestering them to make it an East Coast thing too I passed a Trader joe's on the...

    How long will a WSM last?

    My 22" Kettle is from the mid 70's and I just replaced the grate this year for the first time. I'll have to let you know in another 30 or so for the WSM

    Favorite BBQ sauce

    I usually make my own, but I also like KC Masterpiece and Stubbs when pressed for time. I first had burnt ends at a KCM restaurant(still around??) while travelling near Chicago 20 years or so ago. Cold beer and Q hooked me right in!

    Kettle fried chicken

    Al, I used the Louisiana Fry on some boneless/skinless breasts in the oven during last week's snowstorm. They were real good, but like Chris I also found that it made a hard shell. I will cook some bone in pieces today on the kettle and will season first before dipping in the batter. When I try...

    Lid fit question

    John, My WSM 22 that I received last month came with an out of round middle section. The customer service folks bent over backwards to help and I had a new middle section the next day Good Luck and happy smokin!

    WSM Coals burning out

    Matt, I have found with my new WSM that the thermometer has been less than accurate. Measuring with a probe at the top vent and grate as well I got a 70 degree(higher) difference at some times. I followed some cooking charts on this site and the meat progressed just fine for the time frame. I'm...

    Rack, Roll or Grate

    Thanks all! I'm amazed by all of the different methods and clearly many years of experimenting to get your rib results. The fun part will be trying them all!! I've learned a lot and appreciate you all taking the time to help out. The WSM has about 18 inches of fresh snow on top (so far), but it...

    Rack, Roll or Grate

    Wow, great answers! Looks like all 3 methods will need to be experimented with. I'll go with the rack this time since I have it. My first two cooks I did one without water(turkey) and one with (spiral ham). I found I went through fuel quicker with the water, air temps both times were 26-34...

    Rack, Roll or Grate

    I will be smoking BB ribs this weekend and wondered what the consensus is for a low slow cook. Santa brought me a Weber stainless rack, but I am also very interested in the rolling method. I also see lots of posts with the racks on the grate. I'm sure I'll try them all eventually, but would...
