Default First smoke on the Christmas WSM
After receiving the missing parts from Weber - and getting a day off - I was finally able to take the new WSM on a test drive! It consisted of a pork loin, a fatty, and a rack of baby backs. They all came out great! The ribs were the best I'd ever made, I do believe! Here's a little pr0n!

Looks pretty tasty to me! :)

Making me realize that it has been too long since I did ribs.

Looks really good.

Some sage WSM advice for a newbie: Line the water pan with tin foil before you cook. It makes clean up easier. (Well, it does for me. YMMV)

WSMs are great to cook on, aren't they?

I like staring at a nice rack as much as the next guy but man does not live by such titillation alone. Time, temp, foil, rubs, sauce? I'm not a piece of meat you know. I have a mind too.

Fine looking rack. You are gonna love the WSM.

(One more hint. No reason to put that empty bottom grate under there just to have to clean the drippings off of it.)

You know, I really, really, really meant to do that (line the water pan), but in the excitement of the moment I totally forgot! I spent a lot of time thinking about how I was going to run my remote therms, and the water pan became literally a non-issue. I meant to go ahead and put a ceramic plate in there, but I couldn't find the right size this time of year!
Yes, I totally enjoyed the cook! The WSM held temp a lot better than I thought it would! I'm totally pleased!
