cooked another one on the big nasty. might as well sell both my maks. family only like food coming off of charcoal.
time for experiment. the last butt I cooked on the WSM 22 I had a bunch of left over coals. so, I thought why not use the WSM 18 ring. not a bad idea. logic seems sound. so, I packed it tightly w/ coal and 4 chucks of this bourbon wood.

Man, those nachos look absolutely delicious topped with that perfect pulled pork (http://www.niscienceclasses.org/main/Smileys/fantasticsmileys/main_thumbsup.gif)

Looks great Sparky!
-
Wow - that is great! Only the 2nd best?
-
oh ya. that looks good.
-
Okay, if that's the 2nd best, why? (lots of students of butts are awaiting enlightenment) ;D
That's a great looking hunk. What, where, when & how on the BEST one?

Excellent job sparky, love the PP nachos.
I have a very love-hate relationship with my wsm. I'm always fussing with the vents to maintain a temp. It's user error for sure, just haven't figured it out.
-
That looks perfect.

Sparky has better snacky-poo's than I have :'(
Hey Spark, ask Tim about his bulk size of Fine Swine.......those little bottles just don't last long with that outstanding rub in em.. ;)

Sparky,
It simply doesn't matter what you cook on. A good cook will shine no matter what he uses. Great looking pork butt!!

True......but even an Idiot can cook good grub on a WSM , personal experience ::)
-

ya, the 1st best was the one I cooked last weekend on the WSM. last weekend I used apple wood. this butt I used bourbon/oak wood. you could really taste the bourbon threw the meat. i liked that part. i also wrapped this one at 180° so i could run some morning errands. the last one was taken to 203° then wrapped. i used molasses and FSB on the last on too. charcoal rules..... at least in my house. :D

A air management controller like a Digi Que would be helpful to you but might feel like your cheating ::)
