Thanks Matt. Now that you brought it up, I remember reading it somewhere else on this site in the past. I will keep that article for future ref. My wife can't eat the spicy Mr Brown so I tried the KC rub and it went over real well. My temps kept creeping up, I wanted to keep things around 240...

I'm using Hickory, Pecan and Cherry tonight. 1-3-1 mixture.

It's been quite awhile since I've been on the forum, but I've got 4 small boneless PB going right now. They average about 4 lbs each. It's small but that's the way Harter House puts them out. Trimmed and tied and $1.89 lb. I put them on at 9:45, two Mr Browns and two KC Sweet and Smokey. Since...

I got mine at the local ACE Hardware.

I've had an interesting night. I took a little nap around 1am with things holding at 245 lid and 212 grate. At 4:30am my maverick alert went off and the temps were 220 and 193. The wind came up all of a sudden. I put the heater jacket on and by 5 things were back to 245/217. Watched for awhile...

1. If the water gets low, you probably will see a temp spike. If you have a plant water can with a long spout, it will work good to add some water. If not, use a gallon jug (milk carton for ex). 2. That is your choice. I don't even turn mine. Some turn it once, some turn and rotate, others use...

Good luck Travis! I'm doing 4 butts at the moment and my lid temp is 250*, but the grate is 214* (according to my therms). These are the temps my WSM likes to sit at and since it is well within the desired temps, I just let it go. The answers to any questions you might have are on this site. I...

I've got 4 pb (all Mr Brown) on the WSM, started at 9:30PM. I wanted it a little later but I guess I'm getting into the prep routine a little better. There are 2 boneless on the bottom and 2 bone in in the top grate. My lid temp is reading 250* and my Maverick is reading 208* at the grate. It...

Thanks all. I guess I overcame the major problem by using the foodsaver. That machine has been a great addition.

I bought some bulk spices from Penskys and was wondering about the best way to store it. I put some in containers I had and the rest I left in the original baggy and then put them in foodsavers. Should these be kept in the freezer or the cabinet?

It makes a great omelet also.

I used the bread machine, and the dough was more firm. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try again, maybe mix by hand. That was my first try at baking anything from scratch so a little trial and error should be expected, I suppose.

Keri: I tried this for Thanksgiving and I did something wrong. They came out very heavy. I don't bake and this was my first try at scratch anything. Is it too much flour or the yeast maybe?

I decided to go with the BRITU. I did put two slabs back and am in the process of cooking two now. Good thing I got the foil backed heater jacket yesterday, winds are at least 15mph and gusting. Have had many interruptions and way behind schedule, but things are progressing. I have a few...

The jacket was 20 bucks. I just finished taping the edges with aluminum tape. Now I've got to figure out to fit it to the WSM. Our HD had the sale on earlier in the year, but now it's $11.99 for two 24 lb bags. My local Walmart is selling 20 lbs for around $6.80 and they were on sale earlier for...

I resolved my problem today. My wife had a Dr appt in Springfield and I stopped at HD and purchased the foil backed water jacket. I also picked up 48 lbs of kingsford for 12 bucks. When I was younger, I had a smokey joe or a cheap grill and bought maybe 15 or 20lbs of charcoal a year. I now have...

Thanks Kevin, you always give me some good advice. Actually, I'm going to have another false start for tomorrow, my wife has a dr appt I just remembered, but will be ready for a Wed cook. Instead of 40* and light wind, it will be 30* and 10-15 mph wind, maybe a little snow. Perfect cookin...

Thanks for the lesson, Doug. OK, standard method and I think I'll go 3-1-2 or whatever is needed after the foil. Is there any neat trick to foiling using a rib rack?

After a couple false starts, I'm planning on doin 4 racks tomorrow. I have a william senoma rib rack and figure to get all 4 on top grate. Weather predicted to be close to 40* and 5-10 mph breeze. A couple questions. Why is the standard method used by most rather than mm? I also am debating...

Thanks Kevin. The only thing wrong with the foodsaver is I'm going to run out of freezer space. I just keep smokin, eatin and freezin.
