I have guys I work with that are really big on this book. I agree that it DOES work, but none of them can seem to stay on it for more than a few months. It isn't WHAT you eat, it's more of HOW MUCH of it you eat. Me, I'm a little over weight, and I can point right to my problem, I am on...

Shawn, I was tying to avoid this, but that is another good reason to have a temp control device. The forced air movement helps keep things more balanced IMO, and gets the WSM up to temps a lot quicker when packed full of beast.

I don't even think of taking the lid off the first 10 hours or so. I don't spray/baste to often anymore. If I am cooking for the guys at work, I will do a quick spray, then dust on more rub at about the 10 hr mark. I keep one probe in the butt on the bottom rack, one in the smaller of the 2 on...

Room temp meat, hot water in the pan, all good advice. Myself, I would start with more lit fuel also to help it get up to temps faster. For example, if you are using Kingsford, if you would "normally" start with 15 lit coals, start with 5-7 more. Smaller ones on the bottom rack also is best...

I use that really wide roll of foil, no seam. I have never had any leakers either, but if I did, wouldn't really worry about it.

For me, any trimmings from spareribs are "testing" grounds for new rub ideas. I like things to have a bolder flavor than everyone else in the house, so this is a good time to make myself those little treats.

I try my best to get the membrane off of them. It's really tuff some times, but it is best if you can. I put them on when I am doing the ribs, pull them off after maybe 2-2.5 hours of at temp cooking. I slice into strips across the grain to eat.

What growing area do Pecan trees atart at. They are in Ga. area? How far west? Sure wish they were around here!

Jim, You will have to tilt them a little bit, so don't fill them to the rim.

When I do beans on the lower rack, I buy several of the small meatloaf pans I guess they are, and they will fit through the door so you can put them on the lower rack w/o needing to take the lid off and go through the top. I put 2 of them on at a time. I think 3" is the max height that will fit...

Lol, don't say Guru? I also would question how you store your fuel. Fuel and good air flow is all you need, and with all vents open, door cracked open like you mention, you should have no problems. If you still can't get it, go to Wall Mart and get one of those little "turbo" fans for $9, stick...

Congrads Bud, sounds like you are off to a great start.

I find a Picnic can dry out faster if taken to high. I like Butts for pulling, Picnics for making BBQ ahead of time. I think the picnic has a little stronger flavor also. If I can't find butts, I have no problem doing picnics. While I inject butts sometimes, I always inject picnics.

OK, next batch of butts will be done this way. I'm in it for the results, not how it get's there. I'm sure there are "purist" that cringe at the thought of this lol.

To answer your question about more rub on it, if I know that I am doing it for people that like the extra flavor, I sprinkle more rub on it 1/2-3/4 of the way through the smoke. Just make sure you don't spray baste it right after you put more rub on.

Gary, Try this link to order Pecan. A lot of us can vouch for this place. Natures own

No pics on hand. Just made a wood base about 2 x 2, put decking board on top. Used 4" castors. It sits the WSM up about 6" higher. I am looking for a handle to put on it right now to pull it around.

I use his method as a "base", and add other items, but I do cut the salt in half. If your rub has a high salt content, then it is to much salt for my liking. I also inject only about 1/2 an hour to an hour before I put it on the smoker.

I think if you over inject, it can give it a little "mushy" texture. Do they get done faster? I think so, but I should keep records to verify it. When I did 5 7.5 pounders Saturday, (All within 3 ounces of each other) I put them on around 10:30-11 Friday night. First one came off at 12:30...

I keep mine in the garage when not in use. It's on a treated lumber rolling platform. I just roll it out to the driveway and fire it up.
