doing my second cook next week, 2 questions with a 12 hour cook, would I fill as much charcoal as I can into the bottom? And how much water goes into the water bowl, my first cook I filled it to the top. and after 6 hours it was still allmost to the top. thanks guys!
also this may seem a stupid question, do you have to take the rind off all types of pork in a WSM? my old weber kettle the rind used to crackle very well! but last week in the wsm it started to crackle in the first 1 hour, but after 6 hours it was like a wet rubber tyre!
thanks sean
 
Yes fill it right up with charcoal. If using water I would fill the bowl right up with hot water for a long cook. Cracklings need high heat IMO. Most people doing pulled pork remove the rind.
 
This is what *I* do -
Full ring of charcoal for a long cook. If I know it's going to be a ~12 hour cook - I'll get it good-n-full.
I don't use water in the bowl for a handful of reasons. Tried it once, not going back.
I remove the rind/skin/fat cap so I get more rub & bark. (less to contend with later, also)

Not saying my ways are right, but it works quite well for this household. :D
 
have been reading about and getting a Maverick ET-732 Wireless Grill / Smoker Thermometer! do I have to drill holes in the wsm? (but don't wish to) to use the Maverick ET-732 Wireless Grill / Smoker Thermometer? was reading about the Cajun bandit set up, but the Maverick 732 probes do not fit? can I go in the top vent?
cheers

Checkout the WSM Mod area they have plenty of options
 
What size WSM? I've found that on a 22", a bag of KC is perfect for an all-night smoke. I personally don't use water anymore, but when I did I found that a full pan would last for the whole cook at low temps.
