    Wood splits

    You don't own a axe or a saw...and never expect to use one again...:confused: OK, then go to walmart, or whomever and buy a bag of chunks. Problem solved. Use the splits in the bottom of the kettle like a fire pit

    Heat shield?

    It's on my older 22, never noticed it doing anything special, but I just leave it in place. I cook over some pavers over dirt so even if the cooker did get hot theres no issue.

    Home made starter "cubes"

    I've used most of the methods for starting charcoal, and they all work most of the time. My go to was using the side burner on the grill, but that grill has given up the ghost. My wife loves to burn the yankee candle types in the glass jars, and there's always a half inch of wax left over and...

    Start-Up Questions for 22.5 - 12 racks of BB

    If you decide to hang, I suggest double hooking and put an unused grate over the coals....just in case I like the taste with hanging over the coals, I never swap places or wrap, but rib racks on the grates works good too. Fill the ring up, if theres coals left, shut it down and they'll be there...

    Dutch Oven Pulled Pork

    Had a lost frozen butt that I just roasted in the oven, Rubbed and put in a lasagna pan at 300. Foiled after a couple hours. Probed and temped well and pulled apart just fine. A little smoked bbq sauce and it was about as good as any pulled pork from the smoker.

    Hunsaker Rib Hanger Advice

    Just to add, double hook the ribs onto the hanger and yes on the grate over the coals. I've never flipped or wrapped, but I'm using the 22, and usually cook at 275 or even a little more.

    Carbon steel is killing me

    The carbon steel does season, but not as well as cast in my opinion, doesn't help that my bride washes it with soap and a scrubee, but then so does every restaurant.... I just put the cleaned pan on the burner to dry and heat up, hit it with some oil or spray grease and heat to smoking point and...

    Adding grommet(s) to the WSM

    My WSM doesn't have grommets, not that I'd use them, I notched the rim in the top section the cover sits over and it's an easier way to run the probe wires without the hassle of threading the probes through a grommet, and the wires don't get pinched like they would if you just run them under the...

    Smoking with Wood (No Charcoal)

    Air flow is the problem, you need more for wood, but too much, like when you open the door gives you a fireplace. My best guess is a small fire and coal base, with added vents to the dome and base to control the air flow. You could use a burn barrel and shovel the coals into your smoker but...
