I've had my WSM18 for 10+ years. Last year I slowed down on the cooking due to other commitments. Slowly I've been trying to cook more and more as time permits. I'm no beginner with the WSM and never had a hard time bringing it up to temp, until last year. I'm doing everything the way I used...

My cover fits like a size zero girdle on a six-hundred pound woman. Neighbors were laughing as I was rolling across my yard trying to wrestle the damn thing off so I could start my cook! I can't find a Weber replacement, nor do I really want to spend that kind of money on something I'll have...

Been having a real hard time with temps the past few cooks. Thought it might be bad charcoal (moisture). I just bought an analog thermometer and put it in the top vent hole. Maverick shows 201 at the top grate and analog shows 250 at the vent. I just can't seem to get the temps up according...

I've had a real hard time maintaining temps over the past few cooks. Couldn't figure out what the problem was until this past weekend. I realized that all of the cooks were done using the same twin-pack of Kingsford. I did some ribs this past weekend and it took about twice as long as...

I've always done back ribs. I tried a rack of spares about a month ago and was not happy with the results. I've got a good feeling I didn't cook them quite long enough. I also didn't like the wrestling match to trim them St. Louis style. Any tips on how to trim spares (simple - nothing...

Anyone know of any decent BBQ joints in the tri-state area? I thought I found one called Big Ed's BBQ. They advertise as 'real' bbq ribs. Took a trip there today for lunch. $8.99 gets you all of the baby back or spare ribs you can eat. First batch tasted like warmed sauce - I got a little...

Finally found a nice source of BBQ wood nearby (almost in my backyard). I found a local farm that is willing to sell cut wood fairly cheap. Problem is it's all mixed into one big pile. There's apple, cherry, peach, pear and may be some others. Problem is I don't know how to tell the...
