I finally decided to try my hand at some Beef Plate Short Ribs and I have to say I am pleased with my first try. I only seasoned with Montreal Steak seasoning and threw them on the 14.5" WSM with a Hickory and Cherry chunk mix. Didn't take any before pics, kept the temps around between 275-300...

I have always lived by the motto, "Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it"; so I bought the 22.5" and I have no regrets. I did end up buying a 14.5" a couple of months after, but that was mostly because I couldn't pass up a $50 wal-mart closeout deal on it. The...

I just went to a Wal Mart in Plano, TX and these were on clearance for $3. Needless to say, I got 10 of them, now I'm set with 12 bags of kbb and 20 bags of RO

That is the dream mod for my 22.5" wsm

Gotcha, that could have been bad, at least you caught it. Might want to get another thermometer, I use the Maverick ET-733 and the Ivation rebadged 733. I just checked and the Ivation can still be had for 37.99...

Are you sure it wasn't the stall? That is in the neighborhood of when I would normally hit it, you may think something is wrong, but it's not illogical for a 5 hr stall. Some people wrap when they get into the stall to power through it (look up the Texas Crutch). What was the temp difference...

I thought I did, I followed the guide on this. I guess I didn't.

First tri-tip on the baby wsm came out good, but I had a bit of an issue with the heat during the cook and the color of the slices. Since the first one was a pre-marinated tri-tip, I figured I would try a fresh tri-tip this time.....I'm glad I did. This time I just applied some Montreal Steak...

What was the temp on the wsm?

ATC = Automatic Temperature Control, I believe. There is really no right or wrong way to do it, it really becomes a matter of preference based on your results. What you have lined out will work, as you get tuned in with your smoker you will figure out what works best for you. I have used...

If you don't have one already, a dual probe remote thermometer with one probe on the grate is a must in my opinion. I had one and on my first cook, but used the probes on the brisket and the butt and I lost sleep because I didn't have one on the grate. You have to post a URL to your pic from...

I like the idea of starting off with a fresh tri-tip, but finding them in your average grocery store is an issue in Texas. Occasionally, they will show up, but it's not often; I'll keep an eye out though. In the meantime, I will have to use a pre-marinated one and will definitely take out the...

What temps do you get in the WSM when smoking the tri-tip? I could only get up to 300, I read where someone removed the silicon port to get higher temps, but I tried that the next day with some pork roasts, temps still stayed at 300. In all honesty, if 300ish is the max I can expect out of the...

I've read about the issues getting that silicon probe port installed, but I didn't have any problems with it on both of my WSMs. All I would do was bend it in half, get it started in the groove and used a little pressure to press it into place.

Finally got a chance to break in the 14.5" that I scored with a killer deal. Tri-Tip is an oddity in my neck of the woods and found some at Sam's, of course I got the biggest one they had and I figured it was the perfect size to throw into the mini and decided to give it a shot. It came out...

Looks like this is active again.

HAHA!!! So very true. Anyway, I got the typical "why?" question and my response was "why not?", then I showed her the box with the $200 tag and the $50 tag, and all was good. She likes a good sale.

I am a weak person, I gave in to temptation. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?66985-Couldn-t-pass-up-a-deal-No-Brainer-14-5-quot-purchase-at-Wal-Mart

After seeing the posts in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum; I checked out Brickseek to see if i could get one for $99. I saw one in my general vicinity for $50, so I headed out there to see if it was actually there and whether or not it was a floor model that had some damage. Lo and behold, I ended...

I am facing the same dilemma. I keep trying to convince myself that I need a 14 even though I already have a 22, just not sure how to justify it in my mind. Then I have to convince the boss that it was a necessary purchase; however, she is going to Vegas this weekend, so maybe I could get it...
