Full WSM!

[Grumpy Gator]

Filled my little R2D2 up last night... 2 7lb butts and a 7 lb brisket flat. Took 5 hours for the brisket to get to 170. I foiled it with some beef broth, and stuck it in the oven to finish. Put a couple of slabs of spares on and went back to sleep.

At 9:00 this AM the butts were at 195 and the ribs were done. MMMMmmmm... BBQ & beer for breakfast... nuthin' better!

This was the fastest I've ever cooked butts on my WSM. 12 hours start to finish. Lil' R2D2 took about a hour to get up to steady out at 240. I usually like to cook at 225, but I let it run where it wanted. Stayed within 5* of 240 all night, rock steady.

The advantage to a WSM is stability with minimal attention. Mine doesn't stay THAT steady, but I have no concerns leaving it to cook for 6 or 7 hours.

Well since it generally regarded that a ECB with an un-holy firepan will fail to support combustion..and a real holy firepan will make it spin the dial around twice..I dont see why it couldnt duplicate a WSM if somebody would put some adjustable air intake mechanism on the firepan. Maybe such as a large hole direct in the bottom with an ajustable sliding gizmo. Whut am I missing here?

TB...I agree wid ya. Mine ain't that steady either but for shorter cooks it's not a big problem. Now for long cooks I use the Guru which really works well for me.

I cooked for about 18 hours this weekend on my WSM. It was so steady at 250º that I thought my Maverick was broken. I too the lid off and the temp dropped. Must have been the perfect wind free location. :D

Some times it seems too easy with the WSM.
The old offset I was out there every commercial break
Had to listen to the race on MRN
