Ruining Traditions

[Tim (the grillaholic)]

It's Thanksgiving time again, and here in the south that means lots of time spent with friends smoking pork shoulders/butts for friends and family. The smokers are fired up either the weekend before, or a few days before Thanksgiving, loaded with meat, and friends monitor the cookers throughout the night. I'll be cooking several meats for a couple different dinners this year, and thought it would be fun to start the tradition of getting together with some friends and family and loading up the smokers. Here's the problem.. My WSM holds it's temp SO WELL, there is no need to hover over it to monitor it's temp and fuel level!
So here's to another Thanksgiving eve with a loaded smoker, and a good nights sleep!

Happy Thanksgiving to all,
Tim

True. Its one of the few disadvantages to owning a WSM.

Sounds like a Great tradition Tim. Ours used to be all the Guys gathering around the Turkey Fryer (with adult beverages) waiting for the dip and removal. Then came the oil less turkey fryer. I had to get one because brother n' laws were too cheap to chip in on peanut oil. No matter, now we just stand around the oil less.

You could come to Toronto and borrow mine - it loves to jump around just to see if I'm paying attention!
