Pictures posted. Check 'em out!Glad to hear they were good! The next ones will be even better!
Yup, trying to do two entirely unrelated things at the same time isn't a good idea. Multitasking is an overrated skill.Allen,
I love to get out and cook on my WSM every change I get, but some cooks are more enjoyable than others to me. The best cooks are when the cook is the main thing occurring for that day or for those few hours. OK cooks are when I am using the smoker, but work, family, kids stuff is also occurring and I have to "mange" the cooks within the other stuff. The food still taste great, but not as much joy, but still worth it. I do more of the OK cooks and well that's OK, but man those cooks were I (who am known to run a million miles a minute) just slow down to the pace of a low and slow cook those are golden. Keep on cook both ways!!!

Pictures posted. You didn't have to wait too long.Allen,
This is the lesson I have learned with smoking meat or doing jobs around the house or on the cars. How ever long I think it will take I add at least a few extra hours to tell my wife how long it will take so, that when the task takes longer then I expected it to like it always does I am still covered. For cooking, I am learning to start a least an hours before I think I should everytime! For my family and I (my wife does not like to eat late!) being done earlier is always easier for me to adjust to then being done later than I thought. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Ha, somehow I don't think so.Great, Allen! Now that you have your first WSM cook under your belt, the sky is the limit! .....and, you'll get more comfortable with temp control (or at least obsess over it less), and smoking some ribs while prepping arguments for the US Supreme Court at the same time will be child's play!
