    Smoked Hamburger Patties

    Yup, those burgers are just like a flat meatloaf. I've done meatloafs quite a few times and they always turn out great. Make great sandwiches for the week also!

    4 butts still going....

    I keep a probe in the middle of the beast pushed 1/2 way into it. As the temp approaches 195* I will use an instant read in a few places to average out the temp. Butts are pulled off at 200*.

    lump vs kingsford

    I think Kingsford burns longer only because more fits into the charcol ring. Lump has huge pieces and there is lots of air all around them. I've had better results with briquits in the WSM and lump in the kettle. JMHO.

    First cook and a few problems...

    Phil, Before you start messing around with the top vent, start with less briquets in the beginning. We had similar temps here yesterday and I started with 12 lit briquests. When your temps start to approach 200*, start closing the bottom vents to around 25%. As you hit 230*, close down the...

    1st meat loaf

    Did you have it in a pan? Did you remove it from the pan during the cook? Meatloaf takes smoke really well. I usually start with it in a disposable pan. About 1/2 hour into the cook, I dump it out of the pan (it will hold its shape now) and continue cooking until done. Always has a good smoke taste.

    Food for 40

    I found something else I am addicted to

    It's good stuff. I've read people pulling it off the smoker at 165* and it was tough. Since it's only a brisket I cooked it just like all the rest of my briskets. Foil at 165* finish cooking at 190*. Tender and moist.

    Ok, tested Alton Brown's suggestion last night.

    I use a propane plumbers torch. Never fails.

    Cooking For Parties

    That chuck roll alone will almost feed them all. I did 5 butts for a super bowl party of 35 people. I left one at home and gave away 1 for the crowd to take home. And chicken, man invite me just for the leftovers!

    Quick question?

    Great pics Rick. I did a standing rib roast yesterday in the oven (Ugh). Pulled it at 130* and it was mostly med. when I cut it up 30 mins. later. Still moist and tender.

    My meat behaves badly

    Adam, when was the last time you calibrated your thermometer? Temps. that meat hits a platau aren't cast in stone. Temp. drops like what you explained are normal just like Greg said. I did a pastrami this past weekend and after the meat hit 165*, I wrapped in foil and put it back on the WSM...

    turkey breast ideas??

    A good coat of crushed black peppercorns. Turkey like that around here sells for $7.99 per pound in the deli! I try to do 1 every couple of weeks. I usually find it for $0.89 per pound on sale here. Like Al said, go easy on the smoke! Applewood is choice.

    BBQ Guru vs E-Temp

    I've only used the ramp mode when I needed to extend the cook time (finishing faster than I thought) or as Mords said if you have to leave the WSM unattended. I don't personally think it would be worth an upgrade if your E-Temp is working.

    Cut your own wood ?

    I'm with Greg, I have a bow saw and a chain saw. If your only cutting a couple of pieces a bow saw works fine. They sell for around $20.
