Barb and I did our first cook on the new to us 18.5 WSM.
After getting some great advice from a tread I stared asking for some tips for our first cook. I went with the same basic setup as my mini.
Tin can minion start using kbb and two chunks of pecan for a little smoke.
Oh yeah we decided to do a PSB as it’s pretty straight forward and doesn’t take forever, so if I had temp problems I could have enough time to work it through.
I fiddled with the vents trying to find the right combo to hit 250-260, finally I shut two of them and got the WSM to hold rock steady at 260 for about 3 1/2 hours with one vent open 3/4.
At 165 we pulled the roast and into the pan and into the performer for three hours at 350 or so.
Very pleased with the results of the WSB the PSB was perfect
The WSB works just like the mini except it responds a little slower to changes because of its size I guess. Really glad we got it, so much more room then the mini.
Thanks for checking us out.
