And away we go....
Let's see if I can hold a steady 250 on a full packer with a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker when it is getting down to 15 degrees.

And?????????????????????

I've had better, but it is already half gone.

Did it take eating half of it to determine you've had better? "lemme try another piece"

I seem to recall last year on Super Bowl Sunday grilling in some pretty decent weather. Not so much this year. Had 14 degrees, 2 degree wind-chill, and snowing like crazy when I fired up the Bullseye...

It was just the wife and me, and she doesn't eat wings, so I just cooked me a baker's dozen...

Since I had cooked three turkeys and two hams in the morning, I kept it pretty basic for the game.

Will definitely be making this again! Tried smoked snack mix 3 different ways. The right tray was just plain snacks nothing added to it. Middle tray is 1 stick of butter melted with 1/4 cup of Malcom Reed The BBQ Rub. Right tray is the recipe on the back of a Chex mix box of cereal with Worcestershire sauce. I used peanuts, pretzels, white Chex, Cheese Puffs, chicken in a biscuit, goldfish, and club crackers broken in half. Set grill on high smoke for about 1.5 hours, stirring about every 20 minutes. They tray with the BBQ rub was my favorite, I added some rub at the end directly into the pan.

Is that a 18 or 22 inch Smokey Mountain? Reason I ask is because I have points to spend with my Company's recognition gift program. I can get a 22 inch Smokey Mountain but for some reason, the 18 inch is not available. I think the 22 would be overkill for me since I typically will only smoke 2-3 slabs of ribs or a single pork butt or one of any large cut of meat at a time. Would there be any drawbacks to having too big of a Smokey Mountain?

It is a 22.

Get the 22.... you will be glad you passed on the 18. Other than a little bigger footprint for storage, the 22 has no drawbacks compared to the 18. Fuel consumption, controlling temp, etc. would all be the same. The extra room comes in handy for occasions when you want to smoke a bit more than usual.

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Full slabs are sometimes to big for the 18, I had to roll up a few when i had the 18 WSM. The 22 is worth it

I appreciate the feedback. It will be a retirement gift and I expect to have lots of time to become acquainted with it after April 15th.

Stripping bark from some apple wood kept from some trees I cut down a couple years ago.

Smoked meat loaf- 2.5# ground chuck, 1.5# ground pork, onions, garlic, peppers, sweet rub (in the mix and on the outside) and crumbled pork rinds instead of bread crumbs, 2 eggs. will take about 3 hours. It gets a glaze for the last 1/2 hour.
