Sorry all, coulda used the Trial run thread, but needed a new title.
My first WSM experience, farking tragic.
All I heard was how great the WSM held temps.
Well they were right, only my farking temp I held was 320*
It was a farking all day affair of removing the lid, closing all dampers, etc.
I talked to Phil. I had all dampers closed for 1 hour, removed 5# of the 10# of coals I put in there, and that farker still held at 278* for 40 minutes.
Got it down to 240, opened the one vent 1/16, and bam 290.
I had like farking 3 coals in there. I had to add a few more just to keep a fire going. added about 10 coals (all the coals and dust slipped through the charcoal grate) and bam 320 again.
You could throw a matchbook on fire in this thing and it would keep 250 for 4 hours.
Ribs (spares) wrapped in under 2 hours, done in inder 4. Loin, more forgiving, done in 4 hours. Thighs, done in 2 hours, but moved to oven to maintain 200*.
So I need another test.
