Hey there -
New 22" WSM owner.
Going to fire this baby up tomorrow for the first time. Planning on doing a 8lb pork butt (picnic cut) and two slabs of st louis ribs.
The plan of attack is the following -
- minion method - 11pm - going to try the water pan full, fill it up with unlit charcoal (stubbs)and have a handful of small apple chips buried throughout and then dump half a chimney of lit coals on it. even out the temp at 250 or so and place butt on and go to bed.
- Put ribs on first thing in the morning (8am) put the ribs under the butt and check temp, maybe add more coals.
- cook until about 3pm and let pork rest for an hour before serving.
Any other advise for a first time smoker? The information on this site has been a huge help and I am pretty sure i know what to do.
Thanks!
