    Are you able to actually re-use the previous smokes charcoal for a new relight?

    I had no charcoal after my smoke last night... is that strange or what? BTW the brisket was falling apart on the way from the smoker to the serving platter I used... I barely escaped with ten fingers .... I see how the holidays will be...lol

    First cook... need some help, realtime thread!

    Hi y'all, Tomorrow I'm smoking a 22 lb brisket which will also be my first cook on my 22.5 wsm. I normally marinate before smoking, but I'm gonna use a rub which will also be my first use of a rub. If I'm not mistaken.. the water pan on the 22.5 wsm holds 3 gallons? Should I use cold water first...
