Its been a while since I used my WSM, (been using my SJG mini WSM) So I decided it was time to get my baby out fire it up! I have only used the (filled)water pan in my WSM, but have never used water in the mini. So I decided this would be the smoke that I just used foil over the water bowl. All went smooth,
03:00, fire up the chimney with 12 lit coals
03:15, place lit on unlit, assemble smoker, and add 9# butt to top shelf.
03:45 close 2 bottom vents to 15%, 3rd vent @ 25%.
04:15, I had the temps holding steady @ 250 (a little high) so I closed the 3rd vent to 15% and went to sleep.
07:20
smoker temp@327, meat temp @ 168!!
We are not eating until 17:30, (and I dont like to foil for 7+ hours) so I've closed all the vents, and the WSM is now down to 271 meat temp of 172. (Gonna try to keep the temps low to slow the cook down.)
But I have to be honest with ya, I really like the thought of being able to cook a 9# butt in about 4 or 5 hours! Next time, I may have to try this High Heat method a try! (Only this time ON PURPOSE!!
