Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

it's a bimetal themometer. it isn't an instant-read like your probes are.

 

Thanks. 50 minutes? Definitely not instant.

 

I know it's not a pro smoker, but the WSM is pretty damn good!

 

You can make as good a product as anyone on any smoker with one of those setups.

 

yup love love love my 18.5 WSM.. plenty of cool mods out there

 

haha yeah they aren't very accurate. just think, if it took 50 minutes to get up to showing the proper temp how inaccurate it is as the temp varies throughout a 12 hour long cook session.

i had been eyeballing WSMs for years and one finally fell into my lap last year at a stupid cheap price. every grill that i have now is weber and i'd be hard pressed to actually look for anything else. the only non-weber i've really been considering is a kamado style, but my 8 year old kettle is still going strong and pretty much looks brand new, despite having sat out in the weather with no cover for 8 years.

 

Another for weber. I have a Performer gen 2. Takes the little bottles of propane. Smoked on that for years. So much I had to clean the inside of the bowl from the carbon build up.

 

the whole damn family.

weber genesis.. got this around 2009
weber smoker joe... i think that was 2008

before these guys, i had a shitty charbroil propane grill and a brinkmann rectangular vertical smoker.

 

I made a Fire Roasted Bing Peach Warrior Salsa.
