I've successfully gotten 16 hour 225 burns off one load of coals with my 22.5. There is a trick though, you gotta pack them coals tightly. Layer them by hand even, almost like a bricklayer, where you stack them neatly on top of themselves in rings starting from the outside of the ring working...

MW, I cannot take credit for this but I am passing it along from another thread on here. I had a similar problem, my overnight cooks (WSM22) would run low on fuel in the middle of the night and I'd need to refuel. The solution for me, as recommended by another TVWBB member, was to tightly...

I ate at Lucilles in Tustin today for lunch. Ispecifically ordered the three things I've made on my WSM so far - BB, PP and Brisket. Flat out, nothing they served tasted as good as what my WSM has given me. Their ribs had decent flavor but were not very tender. The PP was plain, chewy and...

So I'm doing Q for 50 at my work. Cooking tonight, lunch tomorrow. I was thinking Four 8 lb butts and two big *** briskets, on my 22.5. I don't know what briskets will be in stock though, so I'll be guessing a bit at the total weight, maybe 10 lbs each? That's ~800 oz uncooked. Too much...

Heh, you guys mentioned "smoking jacket" and this is what came to mind. That thing from BBQ Guru looks more like a giant WSM condom

For those that are interested, the other two butts came off an hour after the first one, finished in about 9 hours, well under 1.5 hrs per lb. Its now 3:30 and the 22.5 is still cruising, although slowing down, its at 215 without touching it, adding fuel, tapping it, nothing. That's roughly 17...

So, 7 AM, sleeping all through the night, went to bed it was 250, woke up it was 248, 7 hours later, 2 degrees change. There is a special place in heaven for the folks who invented the WSM!!! One of the butts was already at 200 and tender to I sent it to its tin foil igloo to rest. The...

Well, its 11 PM, I just put three 7.5 lb butts on the top grate, stacked the K in there like I was building a log cabin out of them. Packed tight and over flowing. My wife came outside at 9:30 as I was stacking them and asked what I was doing... I told her "This is what a man does when he loves...

Travis and John, thanks for dropping the science, that is helpful in understanding what to expect. Dennis, thanks also for your tip on stacking the unlit K in the 22.5. It makes sense that if it needs more fuel, packing it properly will get your more fuel without simply reloading it in flight...

So I got my 22.5 last week, smoked some BB ribs that were delicious, which is purely a tribute to the WSM because I'd never in my life made ribs before. The ribs took about 5.5 hours but IMO they could have come off at 4.5 or 5 and been even better. The 22.5, even shiny and brand new on its...
