It's been at least 3, if not 4, years since I participated in Smoke Day, but I've decided to join in again. I'm smoking a couple of lamb shanks because that's what I had in the freezer (and I'm on a "use what you have" kick). Where I am currently sitting (my home office) gives me a great view of...

I'm planning to smoke a pork loin or two Sunday evening for my mom and dad's visit (they are driving from PA to the HoosierLand). Should take only 2.5 hrs. But, like much of the US, my area is not only hot (we set a record high today of 105°F/41°C). And it's windy to boot. That's bad enough...

Hello, all! I occasionally smoke boneless pork loins to make sandwiches (they are in the 3-4 lb range). This takes 2-2.5 hrs. However, with my folks coming to visit in a couple of weeks, I thought I'd do two of them, one for dinner the first night and the second to slice up and send home with...

I must admit to being fairly clueless in the ways of the injector. I bought one last year (that had a couple of holes on the side as well). Is that the correct kind to get? Also, (hanging head in smoke-tinged embarrassment and shame), how do you actually USE it? I had marinade all over the...

Still new to smoking, but I've made a couple of butts (separately) for some (very well received!) pulled pork. For me, it takes about 2 hrs. per pound, so the one I smoked last week (which was a 7-lb'er) spent 14 hrs on the WSM, plus another hour foiled in a cooler. If I have my butcher cut...

Grilled Onion-Mustard-Jalapeño Relish 1 onion, preferably Vidalia or other sweet onion 1-2 jalapeños Oil (for brushing)—I’ve used olive and sunflower in the past ¼ cup cider vinegar 3 Tbsp light brown sugar 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp regular stone-ground mustard ¼ tsp caraway seeds 1/8 tsp...

BF is interested in a 22.5" Weber OTS, not OTG (he's not as into charcoal cooking as I am). If, later on, he wants to order a hinged 22.5* grate, will it fit the OTS? I apologize if this is a dumb question.

Lowes is running another buy one get one free offer on Kingsford charcoal for the holiday weekend (I think they did the over Memorial Day, too). Saw it in their sale flyer. Just wanted to send out a heads up. Petra

Did my first ever pork shoulder on the WSM--that's also my first smoke with water in the water pan. It made some delicious pulled pork! Anyway, my question is--what is the best way to dispose of the water/fat mix in the pan? Link to picture of pork--I had to move it onto the grass to get...

I see references to cooking two butts/shoulders at a time, but what about only cooking one? How does that affect cook time? I usually wind up cooking for one or two and I don't have a dedicated freezer, only that which is at the bottom of the fridge (and it's an average-sized fridge), so I...

Well, it does say no question too basic, so here goes! Adding fuel/coals for longer cooks: How do I do this? I have a WSM 18.5" and I've only done relatively short cooks (chicken, turkey) so I've not had to replenish the fuel yet. How do I do that? Just open the door and use tongs to add...

Hi all! I'd like to make the beginner's turkey recipe with the bird I have in the freezer. It doesn't say "self-basting", but it does say "contains up to 9.5% natural turkey broth and seasonings". Would this qualify as a self basting bird? It does have a little pop-up "it's done" timer.

Hi all! I'll be inaugurating my new WSM tomorrow by trying the beginner's chicken (posted about that previously). The instructions mention that I place the TOP cooking grate in place. Does that mean I just remove the bottom cooking grate and leave it aside during the cooking? Sorry for the...

Good morning! I hope to use my new WSM (putting it together today or tomorrow, depending on work) over the weekend. I'd like to try the beginner chicken recipe, but I only want to use one chicken instead of two (there's only so much I can eat!) What kind of adjustments might I need to make...
