And I have a question. I'm trying to follow these instructions. http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/brisket4.html I didn't weigh the brisket but it's from one of our grass fed animals. I suspect it may weigh less than 10-12lbs as it came up to 170 (using maverick therm in meat and on grate) in...

The morning after, finally ended this thing at 8.5 hour mark 12:30am. - The slicer worked pretty good, though I think using partially frozen meat would have been easier. - Can do a better job at trimming fat next time. - Not going to worry about the fda recommended temp thing. Plenty of...

Ok, started at 3pm, worked my way up to minimum temp by 4pm. It's now 8pmish and I've spent the last four hours chasing the temp to keep it in the range. Open the vents, close the vents, add fuel, play with the vents some more, and on and on. Supposed to take 8-10 hours which means this thing is...

Ok now I'm confused on the temperature thing. I found this information from the usda And this is what it says on Kevin's site as link above. So what is the deal here, does the meat have to be heated at a temp of 160 for X amount of time before you can drop down to the lower temps? Or is the...

Thanks for the replies. My wife cut up the meat yesterday and it's been drying in the fridge. We will put it in marinade bags this afternoon and back into the fridge for 24+ hours. Going to try two different marinades, the main one on Kevi's Jerky page, and one that has no sugar/honey. While...

Thanks for the replies, I read through all the information at that link and went to the store to pick up a few things to get started using his recommended marinade. Doesn't look like any of the cuts from our last animal are going to work for jerky. He only mentions Top Round or Eye of Round as...

Howdy, I have a couple questions regarding making beef jerky on the WSM. What type of meat should be used? We have the following in our deep freeze, from an animal off our place that was processed three or so months ago. We ask the butcher to keep the brisket out and any other cut they felt...

Thanks very much, Kevin. Not sure I understand every line-item there but it gives me a starting point to discuss with the butcher. Wayne

How should I have this animal cut up? We have one of our Holstein steers (780lb) hanging at the butchers right now that will be cut up next week after the two week hang. This particular animal is about 3 years old and has been grass fed for its entire life. Typically we just provide...

Did some mods before putting the unit into service. Put the grommets on one grill grate support and handles on the other three grill grate supports. Had originally planned on putting a Moriarity side table into the two handles to the right of the door but have decided to wait on that for now...

Hello, I received a new wsm last year for fathers day. Life has been busy and a year later I've still not used the thing. I have some time off next month and would like to at least do one smoke on it. I would like to make this in the picture below off the Amazon site, photo from Chris...

I have a new 18.5 wsm and was going to use the included cover but ended up adding three of those genie garage door handles and of course now the wsm is bit bigger diameter. Anybody know if the 22.5 kettle cover will fit the wsm with handles? (I realize it will be a bit short length wise) What...

Local hardware store has all Raichlen accessories and books on clearance for 40% off. I assume they are clearing out inventory for end of season. Thinking about picking up a book but don't know which one would be best? I've seen many of his pbs shows and am interested in both bbq and grilling...

I'm new to bbq/smoking and I have a new wsm 18.5 that I'm doing a few mods to before putting it into service. I have been reading forum posts and the low and slow book. I noticed costco is mentioned fairly regularly on the forum, and since my wife and I are long time costco members I'm...
