Oh for sure do it a few hours later. Depending on cook temps that brisket could easily be done in about 5-6hrs at a cook temp of around 250. So plan to finish cooking brisket 1-2 hrs before serving. Leave it covered in foil, you can even keep it wrapped in a towel and put into a cooler and it'll...

M daum, I just did this type of cook the other week but I stuck with hickory wood, didn't mix it. I prefer hickory and it goes well with both. Cook times depends on the sizes. What's the size of the butts and brisket? Is brisket a packer brisket or is it just one of the cuts (flat or point)? You...

Dave, do you notice a difference at all in cooking times with meat on bottom grate verses top? I haven't had the need yet to use both grates but that might help in answering the cooking time question if identical cuts Of meat were cooked on the 2 grates would one cook faster than the other.

I had a hard time getting my smoker hot enough when I first bought it. Try using lump charcoal for ur chimney starter. lump burns hotter but shorter. And mix some lump in with the unlit briquettes to. Cut way back on water too this isn't helping u hit those higher temps its preventing it. And I...

Jeff didnt see this post, I have a 22.5 wsm myself and a friend of mine has the 18 and the biggest difference is fuel consumption. Mine spends charcoal like congress spends on a budget. If I could have a do-over I think I might've swinged to the 18. It's nice to have the extra room if need be...

Couldn't agree with you more. Each smoke run I've done it's held a consistent temp for me. I've ran the 5 hr smokes to the 11 hr smokes and each time it's little to no maintenance to maintain the temp.

Looks great! I noticed you foiled the water pan, did u run it dry without water? If so, how'd it turnout. I've been tempted to try and cook brisket like that just nervous the meat will turn out dry.

Que pasa! New to the smoking world. Have been at it for about 6 months. Finally got a WSM 22.5 in December and I've been using it ever since. It's been great q'in weather and I got smoke on the brain. Fun hobby. See ya guys around

I haven't been doing this for 20 years or for a very log time but one thing that I've noticed with my cooks is running with fuel to use. It doesn't hurt to play it safe and run with a full basket but I've had no problems adding more charcoal if need be and getting it back up to temp quickly. I...

Wilson , nice pick . So do u have the 22.5? Or are u looking into it cuz there are some differences between the 22 and 18. It's worth reviewing before u buy it just to make sure it's the one u want.
