    Advice on utilizing top and bottom racks

    Generally, I use a small amount of water in the beginning to up the humidity and help form the bark, just a quart or a little more usually , then let it go dry..it might not make a difference, or maybe a slight one, but it's how I roll, lol

    What do I do with a pork picnic?

    The picnic is the lower part of the whole shoulder, the meat is very slightly different, but in whole hog, or whole shoulder cooking it all gets pulled, chopped, and blended in so in reality it's about the same, just realize that there is a big bone in that "arm", so less meat then in a butt.

    I have a few venison roasts...

    For what it's worth, I bone out the muscle groups in a hindquarter, then either steak it before cooking or roast it to no more then 140, 145. It's too lean to cook to a high temp. Shoulders get smoked whole, but again to 140-150...sliced hot or cold.

    Pork steak, grill direct or indirect ?

    You know...there's lots, and I mean lots of rubs, seasoning mixes, commercial and homemade..To me, most are very similar, I mean look at the ingredients, they're essentially the same, amounts probably differ but basically alike... I like regular or the reduced salt Lowrys on pork and chicken...

    Pork steak, grill direct or indirect ?

    I just grill, or pan cook them till done, which to me is a pinkish center. Lowrys seasoning is my usual go to.. Nothing fancy, just done and eat.

    WSM dome thermometer accuracy

    When I got my used 22, the thermometer was accurate, checked with a thermoworks DOT,... then it wasn't, lol I ignore the stock one, it's half full of water which I'm sure doesn't lend itself to accuracy... I just use the DOT and monitor temps at the grate.

    GrillGrates or Weber cast iron grates?

    I have grill grates on my gasser, I use them flat side up like a griddle. Frankly, I think the claims grill grates make are more hype than fact, I don't see any real difference over regular grates, but I like the griddle surface.
