So my bullet arrived on Monday, and since it got here I haven't been able to stop thinking about it, reading this site, and planning for my first cook this weekend.
I'm a veteran of cooking pork butts and picnics on the weber kettle, but I'm really looking forward to the experience of the low & slow effect.
I'm doing a rather ambitious first cook, going to put on two 6 1/2 pound butts around midnight (using the minion method). Around noon on the next day I plan on moving the butts to the lower grate and adding some babybacks using a shorter version of 3-2-1.
This is my first WSM cook but I am an experienced griller. Still, am I crazy for trying this my first time?
Any hints or tips from WSM veterans who have done similar cooks? Will I need to add more coals or smoke wood when I add the ribs?
