So last week the wife sends me a pic of her at Walmart with this in her hands. Didn't think I was going to be getting the 14.5"wsm, but since it was half off what the heck! Had my first cook on it yesterday, just a little beef roast. Started with a full chimney of mostly lit charcoal, put some...

Was at my local Shamrock foods store and saw full packer corned beef briskets and had to have one!😊 Used the little seasoning packet that came with it and added a rub of my own. On the 22.5"wsm she went. I removed the water pan and was gunning for 325-350° for the cook. I didn't add any smoke...

Well my parents gave me money for Christmas and I figured it was time to pull the trigger on a Thermapen! Didn't know that they came out with a new model (mk4), and their prices have dropped as well! Got it yesterday and got to use it today. This thing is super awesome!

Smoked a brisket for this weekend and had plenty of leftovers. The wife cooked up some mac and cheese so I thought I'd add some brisket to it. Drizzled on some sweet n spicy bbq sauce, and a little bit of Bad Byron's Butt Rub. It was really good! I could eat that all day long. thx for looking!

Sunday had some friends over and wanted to fire up the Lang 84. I only need to smoke one butt for myself, so I called up some friends and got a few more thrown on there. In all i had 6 butts and 1 brisket. started with cherry wood and oak for the first several hours, then straight oak. Sorry no...

Got her back on Saturday evening! All sandblasted and repainted. also had the fire box flanges fix up and had gaskets put on. New fire grate, welded flanges on the cooking section doors, replaced all thermometers and had one installed on the firebox side of the cooking chamber. Thanks...

You'll have to forgive me that the pix aren't of very good quality, but here they are. Did this for a friend's work BBQ(2 of the briskets and 2 butts), about 50 people. Called up some friends and they added a few more butts on too. I ended up smoking 3 packer briskets, 6 butts and 1...

Picked up my first offset smoker last Monday. A Lang model 84 deluxe. Got it off of Craigslist for $2600. Needs some tlc, but still a good deal. The guy i got it from had it for about 12yrs and I don't think that he ever cleaned it! I spent over 2hrs scraping 40lbs of crap out of the cooking...

Trimmed a rack of spares and rubbed them down with Bad Byron's Butt Rub. On the Ranch Kettle with some apple wood for smoke. Used only 2 chunks, put them on one at a time. Lit an almost full chimney of lit, and temps held around 300-325°for about the first hour and a half. Then I added another...

Last September i found a Ranch Kettle on Craigslist for $150. It needed some work and some new parts. You can see the before post here. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?54673-Weber-Ranch-kettle-off-of-Craigslist I got a heck of a deal from Weber! The cooking grate goes for $250, but the lady who...

I don't have a offset smoker and have always wanted to try smoking over wood. So i tried this method with pizza and it works great so I thought why not with ribs? So here's the set up: BB ribs with Bad Byron's Butt Rub, drip pan underneath, and I used pecan wood for smoke/fuel. Was going...

This is a little late to the party but here it is. At the end of May we had a kcbs sanctioned amateur bbq competition called the Rib-O-Rama at the Budwieser event center here in Loveland, CO. and in the weeks leading up to it my buddy and I were practicing for the big day. here's what we did on...

Been thinking of trying this method out for a little while now and finally got to it tonight. i fired up a full chimney of previously used coals and poured them near the back of the wsm. I added a few more pieces of unlit lump and let it get to temp. Just before I put the pizza on i added 3...

It seems to me that the new bags of kbb really smoke up a lot when starting my wsm minion method. I've tried putting the lid on and waiting till the smoke clears, but it just keeps smoking like crazy till all the coals are engaged. didn't the old stuff clear up after a little while?

As i was preparing this cook I knew that I should have taken more pictures, but oh well. Did a 13lb brisket rubbed down with McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning. Loaded up my 22.5"wsm with lump mesquite, and used 2 chunks of hickory an 2 chunks of cherry for smoke. I used the tin can minion...

I've done waterless cooks before, but not very many. Lately I've been doing waterless cooks and really like the results. I love that i have a much higher temperature range available to me without the water. Today I did spares at 275° in my 18"wsm and it ran like a champ! No problem holding temp...

Bought some whole Tilapia on sale a while back and finally got around to cooking it. Used some olive wood chips for smoke. Bad Byron's Jubilee Seafood seasoning for the rub. And the wife made a mango salsa. Turned out pretty darn good! Fish tacos aren't a favorite of mine, but its nice to...

For this i did something that I thought I'd never do...bone out a pork butt and cut it in half! Butt, I figured a smaller but would take a little less time and that was what i needed. So here it is tied up. Rubbed down with some Bad Byron's Butt Rub. Now here's the fun part (for me anyways...

Got a butt portion ham from Kingsoopers. A friend of mine brought on over so i could cook his too. Fired up almost a full chimney of lit on top of mostly used charcoal. Add two small chunks of hickory wood for smoke. Turned out pretty good, next time maybe just one chunk of hickory though...
