2nd Annual Fall River BBQ competition

[LeafMan66_67]

Interesting fact - equipment used for first, second and third was the same as last year : performer, WSM and WSM. The eggs didn't place. Personally I find my ribs better in the WSM than on my Vision, and maybe that is just more practice on the WSM.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is WSM?

Sorry - Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker

Nice, thanks. Easier to control than the Kamado?

The WSM is a little harder to control than an egg, it's more affected by wind/rain/whatnot since it don't have much insulation or thermal mass - it's pretty much just a big metal can.

I picked up a cheap temperature controller for mine (BBQ Guru PartyQ) and haven't looked back. These days I'll load the smoker up with pork late at night and go to bed, top up the charcoal in the morning, head to work, come home and pulled pork for supper.

Like Gary said, it's a bit more finicky than the kamado due to the lack of thermal mass. However, I have done overnight cooks with this, lasting 12-14 hours on one load of fuel, with little to no adjustment after the first hour. It's all in controlling the airflow. I don't have a controller, just a temp monitor.

I also have the Vision kamado and that will go 13 to 14 hours on those low and slow cooks without adjustment and still have TONS of fuel left. Nice thing about the kamado is that its versatile - low and slow to hot and fast.

Time to start experimenting. Gonna take a raichlan recipe and mod it up.

Looking good. Guys next to me had a great tasting sauce. They were adding both Mango and some kind of hot sauce (they kept hiding that in a brown paper bag!)

Using some of that pimento wood for smoke?

[mr x]

Yup, and my dumb ass forgot to bring over a couple sticks to the GB for you guys to try.

Thanks - I'll have to settle for grilled chops - just finished up outside so now relaxin' with a few brew.

Boy, the pimento has a very distinct aroma. If the ribs turn out OK, I might order another box....

No worries at all. Just interested in hearing the results. May order a bundle for myself.

[LeafMan66_67]

Sure is.

Those look fucking fantastic. Verdict on the pimento? Thumbs up?

[LeafMan66_67]

Looking awesome! And how is pimento smoke?

[mr x]

Pretty good. I'll get my peeps to confirm when they get back, lol, but it's a real long lasting aroma at low and slow. After 4 hours, still getting big nose off those 3 small pieces.
