advice

I never smoked one before, and would love some advice before I make an attempt and kill it :) The roast I have is 4 1/2 pounds. Here is what I was thinking... Season roast 2 hours at 250 Transfer to dutch oven - add beef broth, veggies and cover Bump up temp to 275-300 Braise for several hours...

Good morning everyone. I hope you are ready for a nice, long July 4th Weekend! I am making beef ribs for the first time and need some advice. I have about 5 pounds of bone-in beef ribs that I'll be making Saturday night. I have the rubs, sauce, etc., all set to go, but need to make sure I have...

Hey All I recently came across an inexpensive but quite rough WSM-18. Since I dont like junky stuff, I of course would want to resore it as much as economically feasible. Attached are the pics I got that show a fair amount of rust inside and out. What ideas besides " a lot of elbow grease"...

Howdy yall; been a while since I've been here but alas another grilling and smoking season is upon us. I was planning on celebrating this Father's day(my first as a father as well) by smoking a brisket on my 18" WSM. It's not my first cook with the WSM but it is my first brisket on it. Looking...

Hey guys, so I'm in the process of restoring a couple of early 2000s Genesis Silver Grills, and have 1 of 2 completely disassembled to the frame. It wasn't until I was at the end of my disassembly that I realized the metal grates/basket on the bottom are actually welded to the grill. So, in my...

Even though it seems pretty accurate, I am looking for a larger one that I can see from my deck. I heard good things about this one... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P9J3GM/?tag=tvwb-20 I also want to add a hinge as well. Being a total newbie to the WSM, any advice & suggestions would be...

Thanks to all the helpful people on this forum I managed to successfully pull off some smoke chicken for my Memorial Day Weekend (did it on Saturday due to a busy weekend with graduation parties and what not) party. I went hot and fast and used pieces based on both recommendations from people...

I had long wanted to make my own bbq and recently took the plunge and bought a 14.5" WSM. I've done 3 cooks so far (pork shoulder, baby back ribs, and beer can chicken) and while everything has been pretty tasty, I know there's a ton of room for improvement. Most of the recipes I come across...

Hi All - A friend of mine and I decided to join the amateur competition at the Westmont BBQ Comp in May (http://www.westmontbbq.com/). The professional competition looks more serious, where the amatuer looks much looser. That said, it will be the first time we have ever done this. We will be...
