...unless you want it to run extremely hot like it did the first time you ever used it.
I took my WSM to work and used the company's monster high pressure washer to clean off some of the caked on gunk.
Well, it took it all off very easily. Clean as a newborn baby's bottom.
At the time, I was quite impressed with how great it looked.
That was Friday.
Yesterday (Saturday), i cooked a rack of each baby backs and spares.
Used the same amount of Kingsford I always use...
Set the vents to the same i always do...
once fired and ready, I placed the meat on the CG, covered the WSM and walked away.
As i always do, I return about 30 minutes to check the dome temp of the usual 235 - 250ºF...
was SHOCKED to see the temp was pegged out well past 350ºF!
I took the entire CG of ribs off the WSM, set them in the 26"OTG, closed that up then completely close all vents on the WSM for 35 minutes until the dome temp dropped to 250º.
In an hour or so, I'll be using the WSM again, this time for yardbird... we'll see what the temps rise to today.
Think I'll use half the fuel i normally would.
