First cook on wsm

[Myk McCormick]

Something I adopted in terms of adding fuel to your WSM that may help avoid all that hassle in the future...

I use a 4" diameter steel/tin dryer vent pipe. Most of the dryer vent pipes come split open so I pretty much just place the end where I want my coals, and use it as a metal slide and pour the chimney of coals down it.

Even still, the point is not to have to do that. But after adopting this method, it's not near a pain that it once was.

I see that thankyou. I tried the minion method and only got 7 hours outta it. But cooking 4 7lb shoulders with a full pan of water is what got me I'm sure. Thanks for all the help. Gearing up for ribs now.
