Hi Everyone, Been a while. My wife has this "great" idea to have a birthday party for my soon to be 5 yr old son. We thought it would be fun to smoke some beer can chickens. How many chickens can I potentially cook on a 22.5 WSM at a time? How many chickens will be needed for a party of 45...

Hey Everyone, My old Costco grill kicked the bucket so my Grandad said I cold have his. I went to pick it up and it is a Weber Genesis Gold. Is this a good grill? I don't know anything about it other than it was free and he said it has upgraded racks.

Breezy, mid 60's. i added another lit chimney and I am hovering at 220

I am having a terrible time getting my temps up in my 22.5. I am an hour into my cook (4 racks of BB and 2 chickens) and I get the temp past 230 at the dome. even then it is dropping. Top vent open, bottoms at 60%. Water in the pan was warm when I put it in. I used 1 bag of Kingsford Blue...

I am smoking 3 racks of babybacks and 2 beer can chickens today. Doubt I can fit them all on one rack, so which should I put on bottom and which should I put on top? Ribs may need to cook a little longer, but not sure I want chicken dripping on the ribs. Or does it matter?

Awesome, Thanks everyone. I think I will do the beer can chicken. Will cooking times change a lot if I go from 2 to 3 birds?

Hi everyone, Been a tough few weeks with work and I have neglected my new smoker. Going to try my second cook on Halloween. I would like to do a few whole chickens on my 22. Does anyone have a relatively easy recipe? The more tips the better. I assume it will take a bag of charcoal and all...

I survived with some success. As a matter of fact they were pretty good! I will try and post pic soon and give a more detailed review of what it was like for a total newbie smoking his first Q

Comes and goes. Pretty light.

I don't think I did a MM I am following this recipe as close as possible. http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/rib4.html http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/rib4.html How much smoke should I see coming out the lid at any given time?

So yeah, I opened it up gave a stir, opened the vents a little more and now I am at 220 and smoking. Might not eat until midnight, but I will be eating... I hope

What is the possibility that my fire went out? It has been sitting at 200 on the lid for 1.5 hours and there is no smoke. Should I give it a stir?

11:10 am Just got my first ever smoke started. 4 racks of BB's and a few beef back ribs for my wife. Things in the beginning seem to happen really fast. chimney, prep, so on. Couldn't figure out the membrane. From the pictures I have seen, it looks like Costco took it off already. Talk to...

Awesome, Thanks. I will let you know how it goes. A little nervous since, somehow, my parents and Granddad got invited. Worst comes to worst there will be plenty of homemade mac and cheese, beans and corn bread.

I am using my smoker for the first time tomorrow and making 4 racks of ribs. The recipe says open the bottom vents 33%. Does that mean I only open 1 all the way or do I open each a little bit? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks everyone. My wife isn't Kosher at all really, she just doesn't eat pork. We talked about the cooking on the same smoker issue and it is all good. Do beef ribs take longer to smoke than BB's? Should I put them on the bottom grate of my 22.5?

Apparently my search skills leave much to be desired, because I can not find a simple rib recipe that pretty much lays it all out for a newbie. I am planning on doing 5 racks of BB's this weekend as my first smoke since I somehow got suckered into cooking dinner for the family. Also, Can I do...

SO I got it late yesterday, All is right with the world. I built it an stared at it for a while. What should I cook first? Tim: the tracking said that it arrived, went out for delivery, arrived at the same place again 45 minutes later, then I got the "due to circumstances" letter. I thought it...

I was speculating that is what was happening. This morning I got an email saying "Due to circumstances beyond our control, your package will be delayed 1-2 days" Maybe they dropped the thing, broke it and have to ship a new one. or the UPS guys are having a company BBQ this weekend. So much...

yup, I guess that is what "delay in Delivery due to external factors means" Since it was posted 10 minutes before 6pm, my guess is they didn't get their runs done.
