Cooked a 9 lb. shoulder picnic this weekend using my new brinkman water pan ($4 at Walmart) and the result was GREAT! Heat control was perfect as I was able to hold the temp to 225 right on the nose and maintain it using the Minion Method for starting the charcoal. A nearly full ring of charcoal with apple chunks lasted 10 12+ hours with the temp at 225 for 8 - 9 hours and 260+ for the final 3 hours.
I know for some this sounds like an easy task, but my WSM has always run hot, even when using the Minion Method.
How was the picnic? OK, but I can now say that I prefer Butts since it has less bone, gristle and fat. I also get better rub penetration on the butts so the taste without sauce is better.
