Hi Everyone, I am wanting to smoke a brisket to serve for xmas eve, about 20 people. I have only done a couple of smaller briskets before and also did just the point recently (~6lbs, took about 9 hours @ 250). I have never done a large brisket to be able to serve this amount of people. Is...

Well, it's that time of year again. I don't post much, but browse often. I saw some threads on how big of a spatchcocked turkey could fit on the 18 model, but not anything on how big of a spatchcocked turkey could fit on the 22 model. In the past I have usually done a pretty big turkey the...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 22.5 WSM. I have done a few smokes one it (chicken mostly). On Sunday I did my second brisket. My first one was a small flat I purchased from the grocery store (maybe around 5 lbs). It came out so moist and tender. That one I ran my smoker at 275 and...

Hello everyone, So I just received my brand new 22" WSM. I have previous experience using an 18" knockoff of a WSM, but it started falling apart. I will be doing a 20-22 lb turkey, but don't know where to start. I have only smoked a turkey once a couple of years ago and it was much smaller...

Hi everyone, For years I have used a cheap Sears knockoff of the WSM (link below). It has worked pretty good for me over the years, but it is finally starting to fall apart. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to purchase a WSM (although I would love one). I have a weber kettle (just the...

Hello there, So I am planning on smoking a boneless pork top loin roast for xmas. It is about 6.43 lbs. I was going to start brining it tomorrow night and then put it on the smoker on xmas day for dinner along with an herb rub and then a citrus rosemary glaze towards the end. From what I...

Hi Everyone, I am doing a brisket for the first time for Christmas. I bought it from Costco, two beef brisket flat cuts. I wanted to know how to cook these, about how long these will take and any suggestions for a good rub. We will be making a gorgonzola cream sauce to go with the brisket...

I have some ribs going right now and the temps got hot very fast in my smoker. I don't know how this happened. Right now I have the bottom vents closed to try to bring the temp down, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I added a bit of cold water to my clay saucer as well and that didn't much...

Okay, so I have not used my smoker in quite some time. I am using it in a couple weeks. When I looked inside there was some mold. I just scrubbed all that off and will do a burn off before using it with food. However, my charcoal basket is very rusty. I scrubbed it off as best as I could...

Hello, This is going to be my first time cooking up a prime rib roast. It is about 6.85 lbs. I was not able to travel with my smoker so I am going to cook it indirect on my parents gas grill. I was thinking about trying to keep the grill temp at about 300 degrees. I read that it takes about...

Hi everyone. Tomorrow I am doing a reverse sear tri-tip. I have done this a couple times before with great results. One time I did hold them in a cooler with towels etc., but I forget how long they held. I only have one tri-tip. If I need to do the smoking portion earlier in the day, how...

Hello, I have this old patio caddie gas grill sitting around and was thinking of using it as a part to build a new smoker. http://www.flickr.com/photos/c...3947/in/photostream/ Here is a rough sketch up, pardon the crude paint sketch. Would this work, how well do you think it would hold...

Hello, I am looking into getting a new smoker and really like the vertical type smokers with a front door etc. (ex. Backwoods Smokers). I like the Backwoods Chubby, but the price tag is a wee bit much. Does anyone have any recommendations as to similar style smokers to this, but with a...

Hello, I am doing some pulled pork today for a party next saturday. I will be putting the pulled pork into regular ziplock freezer bags. What is the best way to go about reheating the pork? I ready about the boiling water thing with the bags, but don't know if it is safe to do that with a...

Hello, I am going to be doing some pulled pork only for the second time for a birthday party. The first time I did not cook it long enough and it was so tough to pull apart. There will be about 15 people there. How big of a pork butt should I get for this many people? I will also have to do...

I have done some ribs by request for some friends parties a few times now. I always struggle timing wise either having to smoke them that day or reheating in an oven wrapped in foil. Has anyone out there ever reheated ribs on a gas grill? If so on high, medium, low etc? How do they turn out...

I usually do my baby back ribs as a full rack. If I cut the rack in half to better fit them in my smoker does that make them cook any quicker, or should it be about the same amount of time they normally take? Thanks

Hi everybody. I was asked by a friend to smoke some tri-tip and ribs for his b-day party next weekend. I found out there are going to be about 20 people. I have 4 tri tips and will do maybe 2 racks of baby backs. I will probably do the BBs the night before. The party is at 3 on saturday and...
