I have had by WSM for just under a year now and I thought some of the folks just learning (like me) might enjoy some of my findings.
1. This is the best place for information on smoking, I have tried just about all of recipes and they work, that is if:
2. You are patient. I rushed a pork butt and ended up with pretty tasty but pretty tough meat...not what I had in mind. My second butt sat on the WSM until it reached 190+ and it was amazingly good. Same with the yesterday's back ribs.....beautiful. BBQ is all about patience.
3. Don't underestimate the WSM. I opened my mouth in January and ended up agreeing to prepare a butt when it was -15 degrees celcius (very cold). I followed the minion method and set up the WSM behind a wind screen on my deck and it never wavered off 240 degrees all night long (15 hours to be exact).
4. A wife can eventually accept four bbq's...if you keep her well fed with ribs, butt, etc.
5. I wonder if there is room on this board for discussions involving a weber kettle or the smaller, portable bbq. I find that the kettle is indispensible on my deck.
6. If you are the type that is seriously considering a WSM, don't hesitate, you will be very impressed with your new toy.
