Well I got to try my 'new to me' WSM on the weekend. Set it up and off I went.

First cook was some simple chicken wings for dinner Saturday. Sprinkled with Ployboys Yardbird and smoked with hicklory. (sorry no pics)
I had a few problems controlling the temp (not as easy as I had been expecting - was using heatbeads) but I was too excited to let that stop me. :)
So after the wings were off I thought I would take advantage of the fact that I seemed to have the temp relatively under control.
So I threw on a pork neck (again covered in plowboys).
Managed to get the temps under control enough to get 4-5 hours sleep so I was happy.
Here is the pork neck nearly ready to come off (got to 203F after about 14 hours), threw on some ABT's (sprinkled with Bad Byrons Butt Rub - i just like saying that) to cook while the pork was resting in the esky.

ABT's were great!

Pork pulled/shredded really easily and had great smoke ring and bark

Plated with some homemade coleslaw and a couple of different sauces (Rendezvous and Luling's) - obviously used the fine china ;D

Awright !!!
Pawk 'n' 'Turds !!!!
Looks really grand....esp for the very 1st run...... 8)
I borrowed your 1st picture for use in Craig's thread about ill-fitting Smokey Joe legs.....I think I finally figured out why people do that with the legs........the WSM sits up high on the same shaped legs, maybe they get confused by that.......
Great job breaking in the wsm! Looks fantastic ken!
