Summery weather yesterday
It was very warm and breezy yesterday, somewhere well into the 80s. I had the WSM fired up to do a butt (part of my campaign to use up everything in the freezer ASAP. I hadn't had such a windy day before, and temps were a bit unstable at first. I usually have all three bottom vents about at about 1/4 open or so. I ended up just closing the one on the windward side completely and slightly increasing the other two. That seemed to work well, it settled into about 300F for most of the rest of the day.

It did make me come with new opening parameters, but I'll know for next time. The main thing is that I have tasty pulled pork. Maybe tacos tonight!

One is a cover specific to the WSM which they claim will preclude wind and such like from messing with you The cover is good to 400f According to their Claim [about $100 - slightly less for Canadians ;o) I drive Kamados, but if I had a WSM, I'd be getting that cover. Harry The usual disclaimers [no financial interests etc] |
