    WSM question, butt or brisket on top?

    The advice I received was to place the butts on top because they would likely be done first. I don't think you will notice any appreciable difference with butts above or below. I would make my choice based on which piece of meat I would want easier access. My preference when I've cooked both...

    My experience with Kingsford Competition Briquettes

    In Alaska Costco has the twin pack for $16.99. That it is a little more expensive makes sense because of shipping. Costco currently has a coupon for $2.00 off per pack. Picked up the limit of two twin-packs.

    Smokey Joe Platinum on Steroids

    Well I saw the picture and order the middle section from Pro-Q. Just received it this weekend and went to fit it on my smokey joe and to my surprise the grate is on the bottom. Wouldn't have been a surprise if I had looked closer as it is designed to top off the WSM. Maybe I'm missing it but...

    Ok, I guess I'm dense, but what did you use for the middle section?

    Cheese Smoke

    Shawn, I wasn't questioning your approach or uniquness of each set up and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I have less than 20 cooks on my WSM and I've never done cheese, so I tend to ask about some of the details. I only asked about the lid v grate b/c it might have...

    Cheese Smoke

    I'm getting better at not fussing. I was just curious if there was a reason for top vs grate. Glad to hear that your approach is much like mine; whatever works at the moment. I don't know all the test shorthand, what does ROFL mean? I think I figured out IDC = i don't care. No eyeroll Bryan.

    Kinda Carolina Rib Sauce

    Loved the sauce, had a hard time not dipping and snacking too much. Kevin, I read a thread of yours dated quite a while back about vinegars (cider v white). Do you make your own vinegars? I saw that you did rec'd flavoring already made vin (pineapple in rice vin). I started a thread in the...

    Cheese Smoke

    You won. Although -15 F isn't comfortable, I always love the challenge. Makes me appreciate the summer that much more. Love Mars bars - good scale for me to measure by. I also use the Maverick ET-73 (I believe that is what you show in one photo). I use mine to measure the smoker temp at the...

    Homemade Vinegar

    I did a quick search but didn't find any threads on making vinegar at home. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good book and/or website on making your own vinegars?

    Kinda Carolina Rib Sauce

    Just made the sauce tonight, great flavor. Really went well with Jane's Butt Rub. I added it as a finishing sauce and vacuum sealed to hold until Thursday. It then dawned on me that maybe I had made a mistake. The acid content might further cook/turn the meat mushy. I'm hoping the freezing...

    Cheese Smoke

    You topped my wknd smoke at -2 F. It looks as if you were using lump. If I wanted to approx the size of your fire, how much lump in a chimney starter?

    High temp brisket question

    I tear the foil as well. One time I thought I would be real slick so I pulled the top grate off and set it on some fire bricks. Pulled the meat off and set aside. Put the bottom foil piece on the grate, meat on the foil, top piece of foil, crimp, grate back on the WSM. What did I forget...
