Title: I won a 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain!
Post by: MossyMO on October 20, 2012, 11:37:48 AM: I got an email from the Sting Killer Facebook page telling me I won a 22.5 WSM! I replied and they got back to me saying I should have it in a week or two; we'll see... I have been quietly wanting one for a while now and am very excited!

I have plenty of experience grilling and smoking off offsets, Weber kettles, pellet grills etc. but have never used a WSM... what should my first cook be? Any tips or suggestions on firing it up the first time would be appreciated!

Since you have the 22.5, these handles look sweet on it and make removing the middle section extremely easy::

I'm a Stubb's charcoal fan, 2 years ago I found it on sale and still have a few more years worth left!

Works fine with briquittes or lump.
Bury wood chunks in charcoal, light 15-20 briquittes.
I close 2 back vents & keep front open to easily adjust ( about 2/3 open)
Keep top vent 2/3 open & adjust from there. New ones run a little hot may have to reset after a few cooks
The easiest smoker to cook on made
