    Buying Advice

    You won't regret a WSM especially if if you a kette user. Don't add unlit to lit. A minion burn which is the opposite will not give that bad taste. KBB is fine to use dispite the haters. I keep some lump on hand for the few times I do need to add unlit because I needed some extra time

    Failed Brisket #6

    Sounds over cooked. If you cooler it directly from the smoker, it actually contined to cook. You really only need to cooler if you plan to hold for hours. My last rested wrapped on the just the open counter and was still 170 90 min later. Sounds like you were real close on this one. If you...

    Water pan full or dry

    Welcome aboard. Here is the text book answer. Water helps keeps temps down in the 225 range and prevents any big temp spikes. Empty pan allows you to run hotter but also is easier to have temps run away from you, hence why weber wants to make it easier for do. Can you make good que with or...

    3-2-1 method temp overshooting

    Foiling is a technique many will use for competition to control the color, add additional flavors and to create tenderness while doing the first two I mentioned. Not necessary to create a good rib for backyard eating

    Thoughts on a Brisket Flat

    Cook it until it is tender, not to a temperature. Then when you take it off, vent it for 10 min or so to let heat out some so when you cooler it it will not continue to cook. Cooking to a set temp is even harder to judge when foiling as the foil give false readings. Next time you cook foiled...

    Can you smoke without a water pan?

    Some people really like cooking over the coals with the dripping grease. Will defiently give a different taste

    minon questions

    Just remember there is a difference between putting a few lit on unlit vs dumping unlit into lit. The later will give you a really bad smoke and taste

    Ribs - what am I doing wrong ?

    May I suggest a snake burn. 2 high 2 wide, then get it started with 8 lit. Your temps will stay down and maintain a consistent temp. Last time I did I had the bottom cracked on the OTS and the tops open and ran in the 260-280 range with ease

    Getting a bitter taste...

    Me too. I never did see what kind of wood u were using. I light 12-15 coals and use about 4 chunks. Never had a problem

    Thanks to this site for successful fire/smoke...

    I thnk rubs are like beer. There all good and all different. Lots of good recipes on this site for them. Also I hear the weber line is pretty good. I know SAMs club sell them but I'm sure you find them else where. For other competition style, try Oakridge, Smokin Guns and Big Poppa

    I don't like foiled ribs

    I think foil is just another tool and as any tool their not all used the same. I like them either way depending on what I am after
