As and FYI, you can refill those 1lb canisters with an adapter available on Amazon.com. I use this for both my Q220 and my Performer.

Mark, it was a dry water pan. I have cooked bigger, like 19lbs. and for Thanksgiving I cooked 2 at the same time.

Meat density should not be that huge in the same bird. When I checked at 3 hours, I had 154 on one side and 168 on the other.

It was thawed in the fridge for about 5 days. It was still partially frozen when I placed it in the brine, but I have never had a turkey NOT thawed after 14 hours in a brine. I admit I did not check it before placing it in the WSM.

Today I smoked a turkey for dinner. I brined a 16lb bird overnight and placed it on the smoker with 1 chimney of lit and one unlit. I added 4 medium chunks of apple wood. 3 hours into it when I checked the temp, 1 side was 15 degrees warmer than the other. I have smoked probably 4 or 5 on my...

I ordered a 732 today. I hope I do not have issues with this one like I have had with the past 2 73's. I am about ready to get a Guru anyway...

You actually used yours? My wife got one as her bonus item a few years back.

I did a smoke this past weekend and my ET-73 failed only a few hours into it. It was replaced last year by Maverick. The batteries were brand new on this smoke. Needless to say, I am very frustrated and hesitant to buy the new one.

The system actually belongs to my church. The day I went to pick it all up, the boxes would not fit in my mini van. So we unpacked everything and I got the idea to take this picture. This is not a DJ setup, but a 24 channel digital mixer. I used to know someone in Riverside that did party DJ...

Often when people find out my wife has played the cello most of her life (over 35 years in the local Symphony), I get asked what instrument I play.

I don't use beer. Instead, I use chicken broth, a few crushed garlic cloves and a couple slices of red onion. Then I put my favorite rub on the chicken and invert over the cans. I also use a can holder I picked up at my local Ace Hardware for like $3 each. If I use my kettle, I do what was...

I am finding that I may have to add a 26" to my wish list as I could not get three cedar planks on my 22" last weekend. But 2 would be great, especially at $20!

Population was only about 250,000 and Moreno Vally did not exist. I grew up close to Downtown right by Mt Rubidoux. I went to North High, class 1980. My first taste of good BBQ was at the old Riverside Raceway during the Winston 500. Someone was selling half chickens for like $3 with a side of...

Wayne, nice fishing spot! I got tired of the city rat race and moved to where life goes at a slower pace. I still consider Riverside my home town as I grew up on 7th Street (now Mission Inn Blvd) between Redwood & Pine. We were there in August for a few days staying at Jurpa park in our RV and...

I'm in for one!

Awesome job Dan! Maybe I should look at doing that to my old genesis. I need the lower box as mine is warped pretty bad.

I agree, Weber CS is top notch. I have called several times over the last decade or so and have never had a problem. Right now I have a couple parts on the way. One of them they were out of stock and the grill is no longer made. They are MAKING the part!

OK, I will quit being so hard on myself... The bird did taste great and my wife loved it. I will try a brine next time, probably Alton Brown's honey brine. I have used that several times on the gasser with great success. I did mesquite once on one of my first turkey's, I will never do that...

I finally smoked a turkey on my WSM. For years I have done them on my Genesis and was always happy with the results. Below is a picture showing how dark the skin got. Should I have not used olive oil on the skin? I did not brine, just olive oil, salt, pepper and half dozen cloves of garlic...

Thank you for posting this Chris! My wife loved it:
