For my birthday I got a WSM from my mom and dad and today is the first time I'm using it. I fired it up last night at midnight and threw on a 12 pound brisket. I followed the instructions on here for the MM and the WSM has me hooked.
I went to sleep at about 1 AM and set the alarm for 6 AM just to check on it, and it was still chugging along at 245 even with a little bit of rain. I just threw some more charcoal and 2 racks of ribs on there and bumped the temp up to about 260.
I'm in awe of this machine. It's well built and keeps going just like the Energizer Bunny. It's great to sit inside and read a book knowing the WSM has everything locked down. A big thanks goes out to everybody on this site, you made it easy to get started on my new WSM.
I'm having some friends over tonight to help me eat all of this food and I'll have to post some pictures. Once again, thank you to everybody here and thank you to Weber for making such a great smoker.
