Three racks of spares went on the WSM a little before noon. I'll get pics later, if I remember.

Just did an overnight pork butt for a potluck at work. Put it on at 1:00 am, pulled it off at 8:00 am.
Woah, what temp did you cook at? 7 hours is super quick.
right around 300
Good deal. You must subscribe to the Myron Mixon school of hot and fast. He has won about everything there is to win that way.
Pork shoulder or butt is something you can cook at little higher temp and it will not change the flavor, the real trick with pork is making sure you get above 200 on final temp of the meat. Not 165.
OK, that's my two cents - and I accept that someone will come along and have a totally different opinion and make great BBQ.
Grilled chicken + Mac n Cheese
I love me some good Mac n Cheese. Care to share the recipe?

Boom!

Easy to make. I just used Colby/jack instead of cheddar as that's what I had in the fridge
This! I use pit barrel cooker at about 295, though I see 195 rather than 200 is usually done enough to ensure it truly falls apart and melts in the mouth. Barrel cooking rocks a pork butt, ribs, and chickens...not so good on the brisket, but maybe my skills are still just average.
I won't be smoking any meat this weekend but hopefully I'll find time to work toward finishing my meat smoker:
That thing is badass. Curious, whats to keep the smoke from coming out of the fire box and immediately up the chimney? Usually the chimney is on the other side so you draw the smoke through the meat.
That is way freakin' cool.
Just decided - gonna throw some baby backs on the WSM later on and do some veggies on the kettle.
I've thought about it. I wonder what shipping across the country would cost for 700lb of steel?
Few of my friends swear by their WSM's. I was going to get a WSM when I started smoking 2 years ago, wife got me the pit barrel cooker instead. I like the versatility of WSM, but have to say the PBC results have been awesome, and I love the "set it and forget it" simplicity....more time to drink beer. Also like the shorter times at 290-300. I'm tempted to get automated temp control wood pellet smoker, decent one at Costco for $600....but I could buy more beer stuff for that....well actually, I've already spent that and then some in the last 4 months of this hobby!
