WSM Maiden Voyage
Well I’m on my maiden voyage with my WSM.
On the menu is a ½ picnic (pulled pork), 4 riblets, and a basic fattie. (rub, no stuffing) As expected it ran hot @ 270ish for the 1st run, but 3 hrs. later it’s maintaining @ 240ish. w/ all bottom vents closed, and the top fully open. I’m going w/ water in the pan for this 1st time. I may switch to sand for the next run. I also filled the charcoal basket up to capacity just to see what she can do. It’s about 4 hrs. in and the temp. of the picnic is @ 158. Stay tuned for updated.

Congrats!
Next time try fewer lit coals. That may be part of the reason it started out hot.

That WSM looks so clean . . . inside and out.
Now you are going to have a lot of fun, once you get the "characteristics" of your cooker down. I love mine

nonthink and others. For your next burn try this. Place a 1 lb coffee can with BOTH ends cut out in the center of the charcoal grate. Pour in your unlit charcoal. Start a small amount of charcoal in the chimney, pour into the 1 pound can then remove the 1 lb can with pliers. You will get a perfectly controled fire every time.

What's the point in starting a fire if it's going to be controlled! Chris, Welcome to the club. Next time though, remember to put all of the coals, "K" side up! What time are you serving?

Well, I've already removed and ate half of the fatty.
The riblets have been unfoiled and will be removed soon and the picnic just went into the foil. I beleave it started out hot because it was the 1st time I used it. The inside is too shiny and clean causing heat to reflect inward, according to the guys at TVWB

VOCs are the Volatile Organic Compounds that are released while charcoal (and raw wood) is initially burned. They can add a harsh flavor to your food and cause cancer. The Minion method (dump lit on raw from the top) burns up these VOCs before they can escape upwards. Also, the can may have tin or other metals that will also get released. Not to tasty or healthy.
