You'll get to know your smoker and your meat temps before too long. Especially with all the help on here.

Made first rack of ribs yesterday. :D

In-laws came down (very short notice) and said that they needed to see the WSM in action. :shock:

I made:
Beer can chicken with rub of cumin, coriander and garlic salt.

LARGE rack of spare ribs (pork).

I used the rest of my webber lumpwood charcoal and water and apple juice in the water bowl of the WSM. Large handful of soaked hickory chips - topped up after two hours.

Quick rub with mustard and with mix of paprika, onion powder, garlic and celery salt, cayenne and black pepper.

Very quick sauce - big blob of ketchup, half blob of chilli ketchup, big splash of cider vinegar, sprinkle of left per rub and left to simmer until thick.

left ribs for 4 hours at 250f, spritzed with apple juice every 45 minutes.
Foiled with slather of sauce and left to rest for 30 minutes.

AMAZING. UTTERLY AMAZING. :D

Will upload photos shortly.

Thanks to all the advice I have read on here.

I am getting hooked on smoking.

What next?

Bill Hicks, Patton Oswalt, Bottom, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Bailey, Black books, Daniel Tosh, Lewis black, Superbad, Pineapple express, Anchor man, 40 yr old virgin, Harold and kumar, Hot fuzz, get him to the greek... I could go on but ill stop there.

Reminds me of my first pulled pork adventure, had two stalls with my 10lb shoulder, seems like it's never gonna go up! Mine took forever, the last stall was at 189f and sat like that for hours until I finally decided to foil it, the first and only time I've foiled a pork shoulder though, glad I did for that one as it was 4am before it hit 195f. I use the wsm same as, they are great. If I could only offer one bit of advice it would be to buy yourself a maverick wireless thermometer

Most useful bit of kit I have, and of course be patient and let it hit 195 before you pull (2 bits of advice lol)
Happy smoking
