@kettlebb , That was literally the FIRST time ever using the WSM. I already LOVE it. I've done some low and slow-ish on my kettles, and this is just my take on the 2 styles but my thinking is for a "true" low and slow it makes sense to use the WSM. DONT BEAT ME UP GUYS! Even in our kettles with all the gadgets we have, there is still an inherent "directness" of heat just by the proximity to the food being cooked. With the WSM, your heat is a good distance away. AGAIN, this is ONLY my initial observation but I'm sure, NO, POSITIVE, that there will be more input on this subject. And I look forward to hearing others responses to this.
But in the end, we all have the disease and it really cant be cured..LOL GET A WSM IF YOU CAN!!!... did i need it, NO, did i want one, sure if the price was right... AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT! NOW, anybody wanna buy an electric brinkman smoker?!....LOL
