Have you never read this group?

If you do a Google search just for the last 3 months, you'll find
all you need. It's not like it hasn't been discussed here
literally, a thousand times.

The Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal is what you want.

No. It sunk when I tried to use it for an anchor buoy because the holes in
the bottom did not seal very well.

In an admittedly quick assessment, I have to say that I doubt DAVE to
be the troll here.

Just like any other aparatis...ya have to get used to how it operates but 16
hour plus smoking sessions apparently very common.

Very easy to regulate and hold temperatures.

It is spendier but my egg is going on ten years old. I replaced the $10
gasket twice and had a cracked fire box replaced under warranty when it was
three years old. If it cracks again today it gets replaced again for free
again. Anything ceramic is guarantied for life. It also is much heavier. But
that is what makes NOT having to add more fuel during a 20+ hour cook
possible.

Once I put some pork butts on 11 pm on Friday night. They came off around 4
pm on Saturday and started cooking chicken parts. Then burgers. Started
drinking and forgot to close the egg down and woke up Sunday morning to a
320 degree dome and some fuel left.

I can sear a steak over 1100 degree coals or do a low and slow in the middle
of the winter during a snow storm. I bake bread and do pizza, all on one
egg. Food seems to retain more moisture cooking with ceramics

But it is a lot more money, so it might not be for everyone.

The WSM is great... I have had a 22" running for 32 hours at 210° F with
Heat Beads, using the Minion Method, without adding fuel.

Nope, I'm not selling anything - just a very happy WSM user. BTW, I am
not sure, what you mean by "hawking"... English is not my primary language.
Some other guy wrote about his BGE running for a long time, I just
wanted to show, that it can be done on a WSM too.

That's takes some excellent fire control skills on any equipment.
Hats off to you.

My thought exactly ( hint hint here Doug).

I use lump, and I have a number of woods that add value. Apple,
mesquite, cherry, etc.

I suppose I should have also said Nick... I hit the send too quickly.

Hi All (-:

Just what I thought, "hawking" meant...(-: I have been following this
newsgroup for a couple of years, and have learned a lot!

Let me introduce myself: I live in Denmark, near Copenhagen, and I have
been cooking on the WSM for 2½ years. I use my grills 2-4 times a week
all year, most often my Weber Q300 or the Performer, my WSM's are mainly
used on weekends and holidays. I cook all kinds of food on the grill,
the smokers are mainly used for old-school american bbq.
I am a (proud) member of The Danish National BBQ Team, (see
http://www.bbqlandsholdet.dk/Default.aspx?ID=341 - sorry, the english
version is far from complete). The team was at the Memphis in
May-contest this year, and took a third place in "exotic" - the reciepe
included shanks of lamb, cooked on the WSM with Kingsford and birch-tree
from my garden. In Memphis we used a lot of Royal Oak, a few bags of
Kingsford and some Kingsford Competition for the longer cookings - I
really liked those a lot!

Heat Beads are an australian charcoal briquette, very much like
Kingsford - you can't buy Kingsford in Europe )-: They burn a little
longer than Kingsford, but not as hot, which makes makes them perfect
for low&slow. I rarely use lump charcoal, it is very hard to find good
quality lump in Denmark.
