Hi Everyone, Been a while. My wife has this "great" idea to have a birthday party for my soon to be 5 yr old son. We thought it would be fun to smoke some beer can chickens. How many chickens can I potentially cook on a 22.5 WSM at a time? How many chickens will be needed for a party of 45...

Hey Everyone, My old Costco grill kicked the bucket so my Grandad said I cold have his. I went to pick it up and it is a Weber Genesis Gold. Is this a good grill? I don't know anything about it other than it was free and he said it has upgraded racks.

I am having a terrible time getting my temps up in my 22.5. I am an hour into my cook (4 racks of BB and 2 chickens) and I get the temp past 230 at the dome. even then it is dropping. Top vent open, bottoms at 60%. Water in the pan was warm when I put it in. I used 1 bag of Kingsford Blue...

I am smoking 3 racks of babybacks and 2 beer can chickens today. Doubt I can fit them all on one rack, so which should I put on bottom and which should I put on top? Ribs may need to cook a little longer, but not sure I want chicken dripping on the ribs. Or does it matter?

Hi everyone, Been a tough few weeks with work and I have neglected my new smoker. Going to try my second cook on Halloween. I would like to do a few whole chickens on my 22. Does anyone have a relatively easy recipe? The more tips the better. I assume it will take a bag of charcoal and all...

11:10 am Just got my first ever smoke started. 4 racks of BB's and a few beef back ribs for my wife. Things in the beginning seem to happen really fast. chimney, prep, so on. Couldn't figure out the membrane. From the pictures I have seen, it looks like Costco took it off already. Talk to...

I am using my smoker for the first time tomorrow and making 4 racks of ribs. The recipe says open the bottom vents 33%. Does that mean I only open 1 all the way or do I open each a little bit? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Apparently my search skills leave much to be desired, because I can not find a simple rib recipe that pretty much lays it all out for a newbie. I am planning on doing 5 racks of BB's this weekend as my first smoke since I somehow got suckered into cooking dinner for the family. Also, Can I do...

The big brown truck is supposed to drop off a big brown box at my house today. Checked my delivery status and it said "out for delivery"!!! Almost as exciting as waiting for Jeep parts or a new guitar. Would be as exciting if I didn't have to wait until the weekend, at the earliest, to use it.

If you had read my earlier post, you would know that I was debating between a Traeger pellet smoker and a WSM. I have chosen... Drum role please... ... ... WSM Now the question I have for you is which one? How much can you realistically get on the 18.5 at one time? upper and lower racks...

Hello, I have been looking around the forum and it seems to be a great site, so I will pose some questions (some probably pretty lame) and see where I end up. I am new to BBQ (cooking, not eating) and am in the market for a smoker. I went to a BBQ festival in Southern California and met a guy...
