New to the board and WSM. Took a BBQ Institute class last Sunday from Konrad Haskins, learned a lot, including that most everything I thought I knew and the equipment I had were wrong so got online as soon as I got home, ordered a 22" WSM from Amazon (thru this board) and it was at my house Tuesday evening. Going away this weekend but will do my first smoke Easter weekend.
May be a bit premature, but will be camping early July at just under 11,000 ft in Colorado. Would like to make room on my trailer to take the WSM. Does anyone have any experience using it at that altitude? Will I be able to cook high and fast, will I have trouble getting the temps up? I don't want to do any overnite due to bears. Have done some Dutch oven cooking up there that makes me royalty among my camping buddies. Some great smoked ribs or brisket at the campsite and I will ascend to god-like status.
