Greetings,
I tried searching this site before asking the question. I'm new to the WSM but not to a variety of other lesser quality smokers. I was reading Amazon reviews of the WSM and the first one is from a person claiming to have won numerous championships using the bullet and they never put water in the pan.
I did 3 racks of St Louiees last weekend using the minion method and no water. After three hours on the top grate at what I thought was 250 (lid thermometer is reading about 40 low) they were far more done than I'd expect.
Do most of you guys do the add cold water to the initial smoke then add hot as needed or go dry?
Thanks
Ron
