How do

Hi folks, I'm a big fan of outdoor cooking and trying to take it to the next level. Built my new WSM last night, the big one which in hindsight is a bit big but better too big than too small eh. Fuel could get a bit expensive though.
Gave it a hot run last night and going to throw some ribs on tomorrow. Will post results.

Nice! Just got a WSM myself the other day. It's absolutely awesome for ribs and I reckon the seasoning helps. I'm keeping a log of which briquettes and setups give the best results in my notebook - always good to become OCD about a hobby...

What fuel are you using?

First batch of ribs just this minute gone on. Using weber briquettes atm just because I am used to using them for grilling, may be interested in alternatives in future. Noticed that I'm running a bit hot, in future I think I will use a little less charcoal in the chimney to get started. Got some applewood on there and going to baste with apple juice every hour or so. Giving the 3,2,1, method a go and employing a memphis style rub and its sans sauce all the way for today.
Think you are right to keep a journal, kind of begs the question why am I typing this out when I should be writing it down?
