    question about laser non-contact temp gun

    To my understanding, it is surface. It wouldn't know how deep/thick something is to get internal. But, maybe somebody that actually knows will answer.

    Hot spots?

    Bob, I hear that as well, but that is in offsets mostly. I never touch the meat in my wsm until it is ready to pull. Having said that...the two racks will have a different temp. The upper will be hotter even though the bottom rack is closer to the fire. Heat rises. Plus, the pan acts as a...

    how do I post pics on WSM forum?

    temperature plateaus

    Hey Troy, That is very similar to my experience. I generally get two plateaus, as well, at about those temps.

    Another newbie question

    Dan, I seem to be in the small group of "don't touch it" 'ers. Once I put the lid on my wsm, it doesn't get lifted until it's time to remove the meat. I put pork on top, brisket on bottom, if I'm doing both. Works for me. But, I wonder... could one reach in the side door and rotate the ring...

    I give up, I live in a time warp.

    Hi Linda, Welcome to the forum. An Igloo is a brand name of an insulated ice chest. You know, load it with drinks and ice. They keep things warm, too. Sometimes when you have your briskets, butts, etc. ready before serving time, you can "hold" the meat in a cooler. Preheat the cooler (sounds...

    I give up, I live in a time warp.

    Well, it was great. Nobody sick, nobody throwing up. Everyone wanting more. Now get this....Last time I did the same thing: 1 - 11 lb brisket, 2 7-8 lb butts. At 230?, both took 18 hours.

    I give up, I live in a time warp.

    Thanks, Chris. I'm boiling watr to preheat my coolers. I'm changing coolers back and forth several times to keep temp up. I hope. Hospital report in the morning.

    I give up, I live in a time warp.

    My wsm works in another dimension from all others, apparently. Last night, I put an 11 lb packer brisket and two 7.5 lb butts on the rack at 10 pm. Pit temp had been 235? for two hours. Top vent full open, as always, bottom 3 about 20% open. It took a couple of hours to get it back up over...

    Sand again.

    Thanks for the responses guys. I was just wondering. I don't know that I found any difference in hot or cold water for the start. Guess I'll have to try sand.

    Sand again.

    I always start with hot, 180?, water in the pan. Do any of you sanders heat your sand in the oven before putting it on? Seems like if you heated it to 225? it would help get the temp up and set real easy.

    Use of the "Texas Crutch" (foil) on pork butt

    I don't know how much effect the foil had, I never use it. But I get the same thing every time. It sits at 170-175 for hours, then shoots to 200 in about an hour once it starts moving.

    Cooking a brisket right now! Have a ?

    That's normal, J. It will jump there so quickly it makes you think, "Omygosh! This'll be done in two hours!" Not. As Doug said, it will plateau and sit here for hours. And hours. Then it wll start moving slowly. It may stop again around 175-180 for a while. When it starts moving from there, it...

    How many vents do you use?

    I will, generally, use all 3 in about the same position. They will be open about 20-25% @ 230 overnight.
