Got my WSM Wednesday (ordered from Amazon through this webpage)...put it together on the deck and fired up some Kingsfords to burn it in...
Yesterday I wanted to do another test burn and decided that a couple of skinless/boneless chicken breasts would do the trick...fired up some lump charcoal and the temp got away from me a bit...350 or so...and I wondered how hot the deck under it would be, so I performed a scientific test which involved touching the deck with my bare toes...ouch!!!
The deck was so hot that I was suprised that I didn't have blisters on the tips of each toe...
I ended up putting a round galvanized plate down that had came with a Brinkman turkey cooker and pouring cold water on the plate...was wondering what other people do if you use the WSM on a wood deck?
Oh...and the plum wood that a co-worker gave me was yummy with the chicken /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ...can't wait to do the baby-backs tomorrow
