Well, I have a brand new......

one of these....



I went against my will and bought some JD sausage. (I own my own locker and make it myself) But forgot to bring some home.



I'm really excited to fire up the 22 WSM, but is it worth it for just 3 fattys?

That's what I was thinking. I really wanted to watch the NASCAR race but it looks like it might be rained out. Chicago isn't far from me and it's raining here. Not looking so good. I think I just might fire it up here in an hour or 2.

Well everything cooked way faster than I thought it would. Put the Fattys on at 1:20 along with some frozen chicken breasts. Plowboy's YB on the fattys. Nothing on the chicken breasts (wrong move) they were quite dry.

Put about a half a ring of KB with 4 chunks of apple wood.





I did use water on my first try on the WSM.







Took about 30-45 min to come up to temp.



Dog chilling....



Done in 2 hr 20 min give or take.





Awesome smoke ring on the fattys.



And my supper....



I did have to mess with the vents on the bottom a bit. After about an hour of adjusting it settled pretty good at 260 or so. From what I read on the virtual bullet site the dome thermo is around 10-15* hotter than the cooking grate. I didn't use any electronics on this cook either. All in all it was a fun cook. Can't wait to get some butts on this bad boy.

Thanks for looking.
