I did the same as Len and Mike with my new 18.5. Just fired it up and started cooking. Didn't notice a thing on that first butt.

Ah yes... the BBQPit Boys. I've watched some of their videos on youtube. I'll have to try out this sauce too. I did a search for Meathead's Memphis Dust and found this. http://www.amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_pastes_marinades_and_brines/meatheads_memphis_dust.html. It's close to what I've...

My wife's dogs. Gibson (left), and Brimley (right). Gib is a 7 month old shih tzu mix. Brim is a 2 year old mini schnauzer .

I've been making Q for a year now. I wanted to get everyones input on this. I've used commercial rubs. I've doctored up commercial rubs. And I've mixed my own from several recipes I've found online. Same with BBQ sauce. I've not come across anything that just blew my socks off. It seems...

I've been liking all these WSM Mini builds I'm seeing. I have a SJS and may give this a try. My only concern would be the charcoal ring. Where would I get some expanded steel. This cake pan idea looks like the best option to me. Thanks for sharing. I now think I'm going to try this mini build.

Oh man that looks tasty! I'm gonna have to try making quesadillas on the grill now. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, John. I guess I'm seeing the wrong models? The 2 I'm seeing when looked up the numbers you provided show one with and one without the gas assist. They both have timers (which I've never seen before). I agree with Justin, i think the gas assist is what makes the performer.

It looks to me that the 1431001 model has the the touch n go ignition systemgas and the 1431001 model does not. I have this 1421001 model. It has the touch n go ignition. I got mine at home depot 3 years ago. Can't remember what I paid.

What a great way to spend a day off. Looks good. Great job!

Gary, I paid $16 - $18 a bag. Where do you get it for $11.99? To be honest, I've haven't shopped around. Most places just sell the chips, and Ace Hardware is the only place I found that sells the Weber chucks. I've seen other brands in other places, but I'm still on the first bags I bought, so...

I buy Apple, Cherry and Hickory chunks at my local hardware store. And I have a friend with a pecan tree who's given a few large branches off of it.

Only used about 10 - 12 lit coals. The others that look lit were left over from another cook on my SJS. Don't like wasting them, so I close all the vents down to extinguish them. Then re-use them. Decided to just add them the WSM right before I added my lit coals.

Thanks for great comments. I will be eating leftovers today. I actually used a new sauce on the PP. The recipe came out of Myron Mixon's book. It was pretty good. Looking forward to some football and leftover PP today. ;)

I had to constantly add lit coals to my old Brinkmann during a cook. I used a deep fryer ladle. I could get 8 - 10 coals on it at a time. It has a long handle to reach into the coal chamber. Used tongs to place the lit coals on the ladle.

Performer. Best grill I've ever owned.

Thanks Morgan. No I'm not new to BBQ. I've been Q'n on a Brinkmann for about a year. New to the WSM and this VWBB though. I've been reading up on the VWB site for about 3 months before buying my WSM. So I had a good idea of what I was supposed to be doing. There is so much great information...

Thanks everyone. I will be posting more cooks. I'm hooked. :wsm:

Temp hit 254 about an 45 minutes in. Closed 1 vent and other 2 others down to about ¼ each. Maintained 230 – 240 all day. 6.25 hours in, wrapped in foil to finish it off. Hit my target internal temp at about 8 hours total cook time. Removed it from the smoker and let it rest in the foil...

figured it out.

not sure what i'm doing wrong. pictures only show up as a link. Is there a size limit?
