Miscellaneous rainy day pr0n

[HankB]

If I use the butternut squash, I can call what I smoked in the little WSM "Soup to Nuts." 





I got very good performance on the 14.5 WSM using lump. With no water in the pan and one bottom vent open, it held over just over 250° for nearly 5 hours.

In the 18.5 I got some ribs hanging.



With one bottom vent open, it's cruising along at about 250° too (At two hours, 245° at the lid and 275° using a probe through the mid section. In the rain. 

I'm surprised both cookers are doing so well in the rain!

Looking good Hank! I've never had a problem smoking with the WSM in rain. Just watch out for the water buildup in the smoker if it's outside for a long time and it's raining hard. Your smoke in the 18 is pretty dense. Is that caused by the fat runoff from the ribs?

I like the last pic of the pork in the fog of deliciousness.

The steam is probably a result of drippings from the ribs, rain and high humidity.

And the ribs are done and resting.



I should get some sides going I guess.

Looked like that turned out nicely Hank
Nice photos.

Please talk more about what you did with the nuts.  I've never seen that before.

The nuts are the first recipe in "Weber Smoke."  (From memory) 2C mixed nuts, 1 tsh brown sugar, 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp olive oil. Mix and smoke until lightly toasted.
