I have no trouble getting 350 at least. I'm using a 22" WSM, no pan, start with a half chimney of unlit coals on top of a full chimney of coals that were lit using the "standard method" (see the linked recipe, "Firing up the Weber bullet"). I don't need to open the vents much, and don't use all...

Looks tasty, and most important you're pleased with the results. Maybe the lack of pink is because of the duration of the rest? I usually smoke a tri-tip until the internal temp is 125 according to my Maverick probe, then do a 5-minute sear and only a 10 minute rest, as per this recipe. I'm not...

Not sure how they'll do on grass, but I installed these wheels from this thread in the mods section on my 22" WSM awhile back and am happy with the results. For my application I installed them to roll on pavers - the extra height of the smoker is a bonus. I also picked up some stainless...

If you truly mean "right away", as in the day you give it to your husband he'd want to start smoking :wsm:, you'll want to consider a few other things beyond the excellent advice you've already gotten: Make sure the WSM is assembled ... either do it yourself if you're comfortable with basic...

ha! I have exactly the same to say as Christopher ... haven't had a chance to use my WSM in 3-4 weeks. Baby back ribs going on tomorrow afternoon, I already mixed up the rub this evening. :wsm:

Ha! It seemed like a weird combination of manhandling and finesse, but I managed to get the grommet seated after several attempts. Thank you for the encouragement!

Just a follow-up and "good news" ... I had contacted Weber CS and after describing a few things things they shipped me out replacement parts, which arrived today and are in fine shape. Weber gets a big thumbs-up for their customer service from me. My only remaining "issues" are to figure out...

Well, my WSM arrived from Amazon today, well ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the box was banged up (left on my porch when I was at work, not that I signed for it or anything, and if I recall correctly the box was even upside-down) ... the top lid is waaay out of round to the point that you...

Long-overdue follow-up - just ordered my 22.5 WSM and looking forward to putting it to good use. Honestly the 18.5 is probably a better fit but I somehow couldn't resist...

Heh, yes I fully expect he'll be trying to steal the meat after I pull it off the grill, and I'll take the appropriate precautions. Glad to hear he'll likely leave it alone during the cook, but of course I'll keep my eye on him. Thanks everyone!

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did a quick search and couldn't find anything though... anyway, I've been thinking about getting a WSM. I also have a dog who gets to play in our backyard, but might not resist the temptation checking out a smoker full of tasty meat. So, anyone have any...

A bit further south, I'm in Santa Clara.

Just saying 'hi' from NorCal - joining the forum since I've had a Weber Genesis gas grill for awhile now and thinking of getting a WSM smoker.
