First cook on WSM

Postby Minty913 » 28 Jun 2014, 18:22

Where has this smoker been all my life,

I got up at 5am to smoke a pork butt, loaded the fire basket with heat beads (first time using these) lit dozen of them in a chimney using weber brown cubes.

Spread them out over unlit coals, let the temperature rise to 250f, slapped the butt on

Closed 2 of the bottom vents all the way and had the 3rd set to 50% and there she stayed 236f for 12 hrs.

No messing around, even in the rain she held her own,
going from a cheap offset to a WSM the difference is amazing

Wish I took some pics , but kids & fathering law where hanging around like flys :)

I think the heat beads might of had a part to play as well, I have always been a lump man but might sway :)

Glad the conversion was as painless and rewarding as it should be, welcome to the revolution ;)

I have had a similar revelation going to a ProQ Frontier and using heat beads. So stable for hours and hours. But I do want to try some better quality lumpwood now and see what results I get.
