1st cook a success

[Jake Jacobson]

Well my first cook with WSM was a huge success, even got a good nites sleep. This weekend is ribs and chicken wings, ought to be a hoot. Love the WSM, pretty easy cooking, feel a little guilty because of the good nites sleep tho! Don't get that with a stick burner.

Jake Congrats on your first cook... and your right the WSM is awesome!

Congrats Jake!

...although I'm not an expert, I am on my 3rd year with my WSM and have become pretty comfortable with the whole process...mainly thanks to the resources and people on this site.

However, those overnight cooks always make me neurotic! The girlfriend just has to laugh at me....but doesn't complain because she knows what's coming the next day!!

Keep it up...and keep us posted on your progress.

Glad that your first cook was so successful.
I needed a mulligan.
Put too much salt on the ribs. Then to make matters worse, I found out too late that I used Kosher salt. I ate my share anyway. Didn't want to insult myself.
The 2nd shot was much better. At least wife and I both ate those
