cutting my wood back. the 18 cooks differently than the 22. probably just new. need to get it more seasoned.

what wood imparts a nice golden brown color?

Post by: smokeasaurus on October 20, 2012, 06:48:12 PM: red oak and hickory come to mind. I go light on the cherry with poultry cause it can make it way to dark looking......

Post by: Sam3 on October 22, 2012, 08:12:53 AM: sparky, I have a few questions.

Looks like no water in the pan. Do you like your ribs with or without water?
Was there any FL with those ribs?

They really came out great!

I foil my pan to make cleanup easier.

Post by: Sam3 on October 22, 2012, 08:12:59 PM: Thanks LA. I never did a rib cook without water. Although I do foil the pan before adding water. Good info.

no FL on these ribs. my 18.5 WSM is brand new. its running hot. all the cooks so far have been w/ out water. i think until i get her seasoned real well i will start using water in the pan. i just ordered myself a brinkmann charcoal pan replacement to use as my water pan (shallower, more room for charcoal to pile up).

Post by: Sam3 on October 24, 2012, 12:52:24 PM: Mine is new too (maybe 3 cooks with it). I used water in the pan, I'll try it without water next time.
Seems alot of people do.
