My friend gifted me a Weber Smokey Mountain the other day. It’s a hell of a present.
For those unfamiliar with the Weber Smokey Mountain (henceforth WSM), it’s a barrel smoker. Rather than using charcoals to grill meat with direct heat, it’s a capsule that allows you to cook food with indirect heat, better known as smoking. Here it is in action:
These things are finicky to get started, and have a flat learning curve. But it works, and once up to temp is set and forget. We made some smoked pulled pork for lunch today, which should be tasty.
There is a meme that men in their 30s choose golf, exercise, smoking meats, or craft beer as their personality, and I’m going to avoid that. But I won’t deny it’s a fun addition to our prison yard.
