I use the old method...trial and error. The temp is rock steady at 225 most of the time...takes a little work after 6-7 hours or so but it's still simple. Search the above site and they have detailed instructions for each type of smoke...that helped me a bunch. Would like an auto set-up but that will wait. You'll enjoy the 22"...love mine. |

I would suggest you use it without a few times just so you get used to it. I just got a Pitmaster iQ110, and have been very happy with it; I've only used it twice so far, but it worked just as expected.

Got the WSM today! I'm thinking the 18.5" may have been a better choice for me after seeing at the 22.5" size but................. Going to smoke some ribs tomorrow if the schedule permits (got a lot of things to complete in real life).
Thanks for the replies! |

I felt the same way when I got the 22".
Search the virtual bullet website and you'll find tips on smaller cooks on the smoker (using less charcoal etc) You'll be better off having too much room rather than too little. |

First batch of ribs will be done soon. Got some sausage on there as well. Damn, this thing is easy to use. It holds 225 to 250 with no adjustments at all! I'm probably going to wind up saving money when I compare the amount of charcoal and wood I was using in my Chargriller........
And of course, a pic:  |

Excellent!
I knew you'd be surprised about how easy it is to keep the temperatures consistent. The 22" model does use a little bit more charcoal, but I don't think it's a huge difference. I always fill the ring mostly full. I smoked some sausages at 160-170 degrees, and the only charcoal that actually was consumed was a couple of handfuls in the center of the pile. Just shut the vents on the smoker nice and tight, and the fire extinguishes fairly quickly. |

Good thing you bought the 22.5" first the 18.5" seem to multiply like gremlins.. I have 3-18's and 1-22" ..
Plus 1 for the Ique I have two of them and love them for overnight cooks.. I like Wicked Good lump for over night cooks. I can run mine for hours on it but Kingsford won't last me more than 6-7 hours ask me how i know.. I woke up to a cold pit.. :( If you wanna more Q info beside the Vitual Bullett check out the BBQ-Brethren.com web site lots of great people over there aswell! |

Yup I did but it was northcentral wisconsin and the outside overnight temp was in the 20's maybe didn't mound it good enough either though.. But it sure sucked waking up to a cold pit...
