I just purchased a new WSM 22.5" and am very excited to use it for the first time. I am not new to smoking and REAL BBQ, as I spent 18 years growing up in Texas, so certainly had exposure to good BBQ. In Texas, it was more beef brisket than anything, done with mesquite. That is my love. Although I am getting more into butts/shoulders and ribs. Love to experiment with my own rubs and sauces too. I have been using a Chargriller smoker with side firebox for the last two years. Still have it, but diversified with the WSM. Interested to see difference in cooking. I don't usually use water during my cooks, so having a water based cooker is new to me.
