Found some matches.
Had a successful first smoke with my WSM and am so pleased to have got it.
While filling the water bowl I run into a slight question- the instructions say 'Fill to capacity'
Now am I being daft, but if I fill it until its full- just below the hole, when it starts to simmer away its going to overflow a bit- and water on charcoal ain't a great idea!
I peered closely at the bowl and there is no helpful fill line.
I ended up using about 8 litres of boiling water, and concluded that if the level got too low I could add more.
For an 6 hour smoke there was still about 4 litres left, and the temperature had sat at 245 (off of lid thermometer- new one is on wish list)
The brisket and lamb shanks were lovely, so the smoke was a success.
I just wanted to check I hadn't missed an extra bit of information, or was being extra blonde!:icon_blush:
Thanks for any info
