    First try at pizza on the WSM (no Pizza Kettle)

    Took my first stab at pizza on my WSM. Important to note that I don't have a pizza kettle, so had to get creative. Took a lot of advice from the VWB community before I started. This place is an invaluable wealth of knowledge. So here was my setup: Placed the charcoal ring on the lower...

    Finishing sauce vs "sauce"

    Ive seen/read several references, when discussing pulled pork, to a finishing sauce. So what's the difference between a finishing sauce and "sauce" added to the pulled pork when on a bun?

    Reheating pulled pork

    So I had my best results yet with a pork shoulder this past weekend-pork was super tender and moist. So how do you guys reheat your pulled pork- single servings and/or for a family meal after the pork has been refrigerated? Thanks!

    clay saucer question

    I know this has probably been asked 1000 times so I apologize. For the guys that use the clay saucer as a heat sink, is the saucer empty or filled with sand? And you line it with foil and set it in the water pan? Thanks!

    Advice for keeping ribs warm

    My smoke Day will be on Monday and it will be my first smoke for a crowd. In the event that the ribs finish early, how should I keep the ribs warm for 1/2 hour to an hour? I thought about wrapping loosely in HD foil but don't want the ribs to get soggy or "too done". Any advice is appreciated.

    Am I biting off more than I can chew??

    Just got my WSM and I'm itching to fire it up. Only problem is that it's cold here in VA; days usually seeing a high of 25-30 degrees. Would it be crazy to attempt to smoke a turkey as my first smoke in this weather?
