    Converting a WSM18 charcoal ring to a rib hanger

    When I saw it in the shed, it hit me that the holes were perfect for meat hangers, and it would be rounded like the dome. :cool: Even though no one (but me) mods a wsm for propane o_O, lots of wsm owners get different/bigger charcoal baskets, so they can get a free rib hanger in the process :)

    Converting a WSM18 charcoal ring to a rib hanger

    Haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I'd share this mod. I converted my WSM to propane a few years ago, and the charcoal ring sat in a shed until I came across it recently. I was considering getting a rib hanger this season, never pulled the trigger since they all seemed to be $50 and...

    How much time does cooking brisket at 275 save?

    I'm relatively new to smoking and started at 225. That's was fine for me with ribs since you can start them and serve them the same day, but butts/briskets/chucks take way too long. Went up to 250 for a while, but big pieces were still overnight cooks, which I'd prefer to avoid. This...

    a 14" inch flat cast iron griddle sits nicely on a wsm 18 water pan

    Wrapped it with foil for a smoke, worked like the terracotta dish I've been using. Took it camping a few weeks ago

    I'm charcoal "challenged", so I converted my Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 to propane

    I kept track of a 20lb tank last year and it ran for about 30 hours. I was running it between 225-250. Here's a pic of it running at 275 the other day https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?77870-Picnic-Shoulder-for-6pm-My-first-high-heat-smoke

    Picnic Shoulder for 6pm - My first high heat smoke

    This was a good first attempt. I learned a few things: High heat and no wrap can get the bark a little tough, so I should've wrapped it. Here's a pic@ 180 degrees, I could've wrapped it at this point or earlier. Also, I took it off the smoker when several temp probes were between...

    Picnic Shoulder for 6pm - My first high heat smoke

    I'm planning to serve at 6pm, gave myself til 7 with everyone but it will be ready @6. The picnic shoulder was just over 10 pounds, removed skin/trimmed to 8+lbs, gave it a rub and put it in fridge overnight. I didn't want to do an overnight cook, or cook the day before/reheat. I planned to...

    Picnic Shoulder questions

    yep, this was a little over 10 lbs and was under $10, but there's more work/waste getting the skin off before trimming

    Picnic Shoulder questions

    Here's a pic I just took, it's 180 degrees I started the smoker at 6am, no water/clay pot and plate, with a couple small half logs of apple. It went to a little above 300 at first but I was able to settle it about 280 and it's pretty much stayed there. Shoulder went on at 6:30, I added...

    would a boneless butt cook quicker?

    Picnic Shoulder questions

    Trimmed it should be about 8lbs+ and I plan to wrap it with butcher paper. I'm planning to cook @275 so if I get it on the smoker at 6am, I'm hoping to be able to serve it between 6-7pm. I'd rather not cook this overnight, or the day before & reheat.

    Picnic Shoulder questions

    I plan to use spog with some paprika for rub, I'll skip the sugar to avoid burning @275 +/- Just wondering if it makes sense to brine before smoking at this temp. you've got me thinking about using the skin, i saw a video with a dry cloth wrapped around the skin for the first few hours

    Picnic Shoulder questions

    I've got a 10lb picnic shoulder thawing for later this week. I'd like start it in the morning between 6-7am and it serve it as pulled pork that night around 6-7pm. After I trim the skin and fat, should I plan to brine it for a day before it gets rub? I'm going to try wrapping with butcher...

    Good remote thermometer?

    I bought a morpilot 6, which works fine But one with a warning if goes below a programmed temp would have been better for running a smoker overnight

    Cold Smoking on WSM

    I found something here I'd like to try with bluefish in the fall http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/coldsmoker.html It looks like the CO2 filter they made on Apollo 13 :cool:
