Coldest day of the year and I am smokin.

Whatever you do...don't foil :P

NOPE, no foil. Trying to make L-)arry proud

fwiw pick a thermometer you're going to use and stick with it. you will drive yourself crazy trying to drive by both the grate and dome thermometers.

more unsolicated advise... i would cook at 250 or even 275 at the dome therm. you can cook at 225 but it'll take a LOOOOOOONG time. :roll:

I agree with Brian!

 

[wittdog]

I don't like to go to much higher than 250* at leat till near the end of the cook....JMHO

 

[wittdog]

I like to go low even with a WSM with a fully belly...give it a long time for the smokering to develop and the flavor to develop...just how I like to do it...(I'm one of those people who belives that the meat stops taking on smoke flavor once the ring stops forming or at least good smoke flavor)

 

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Well, the top dome temp is now settled down to 237*. The meat is at 143*. The smell is fantastic. I am tempted to open her up and take a pic but I will refrain. :roll:

 

[Green Hornet]

Looking forward to those finished pics! :P

 

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Looking forward to those finished pics! :P

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Had to do it. Couldn't resist any longer.

 

[wittdog]

Looking good...

It's coming along fine Bill! When are you going to foil?

 

[wittdog]

:roll:

 

[Finney]

I would just take them off now. :roll:

 

[Unity]

Comin' along great, Bill!

[BigGQ]

Looking good, Bill. Looking real good.

Thanks for the explanation on the temp difference. I have always worked with dome temp on WSMs. Interesting the amount of difference but makes sense.

Getting my learn on today!
