I like the convenience of propane too. Charcoal and wood taste better, but I'm just trying to eat some food!! I'm not the guy who likes to make a day outta it. Lol. Living in the dirty south, it's not too hard to find a buddy with a smoker and let them do the work!
I have been wanting to smoke a brisket. That's like a 20 hour smoke.
What is this work of which you speak? Loading the charcoal, pulling out the ashes on the foil sheet? I add meat to my drum and come back when it's done, up to 10 hours.
You could hang 4 in a 55 gallon drum, if family is coming over. Weber really ought to add hanging options to the WSM's.
The first turkey and the first piece of rib eye in the drum were the best ever.

We got a chef mod on this site so maybe he can say something but in my opinion meat has to be sous vie and then torched with a propane torch the way french chefs do it.but ill be damned if i dont like a good bbq.the best wood i used was pecan wood i cut in my backyard.peach wood is good too.
Damn.now I'm hungry.I'll have to try cherry.
I burn down oak till I have only coals left then grill using those..beats any charcoal
White trees and fruit trees are best for barbecue,also Vitis vinifera are great
for fish barbecue,better temps for fish barbecuing..
Oaks we use for heating a houses and we dont use him for barbecuing of food
cause Oaks have tanines and they can made meat or other bitter tasted..
Most usually we use European Beech tree and that same tree is most used for smoking
meats and fishes..
thats a big fuking ribeye G.O Joe.i never smoked a steak.only souse vie and searing.it doesnt get dry? i made this pork roast wrapped in bacon.it was the best i ever had.i cut it with a fork.
NICE!i could tell it might have been dry aged.i dont have that much experience with smoking but that was probably a 40 dollar steak from the butcher or more.im too scared to smoke an expensive cut like that.good job!id eat it!
