Good info just one thing to point out. It may be a good idea to put hot water in the water pan so you don't waste time trying to reach ideal temp by heating the water also.

When I did the chimney starter thing on my WSM 22, my temperature went completely out of control. I'm getting much better, steady results by using one of those tumbleweed things in the middle of the charcoal ring. I fill it with charcoal, half bury my wood chunks & tumbleweed, light it, assemble the rest, add water etc. with two of the vents wide open, and start dialing the vents back as I approach 250 or so. It does take a while to get up to temp, but I find it easier to manage my fire this way than to be constantly trying to push it back down from 375-400.

I love weber and I use their products almost exclusively for smoking for my restaurant. However from my experiences with their products, it is most doubtful those few coals would have smoked that brisket for 12 hours at 225. I had to make internal modifications to my smoker to hold more charcoal. Especially in the winter, I have to start with 20 lbs of lump charcoal to ensure a 12 hour smoke. Plus why does the middle chamber go inside the lower chamber? Water leaks inside...

Hi Ethan, we appreciate the question. A chimney full will last about an hour to an hour and a half. You can expect to get a few hours out of one full of lit coals and an additional chimney full of unlit coals.

Upper brackets for grilling grate are in the way. Also...the lower cooking grate sits right on top of water dish...doesn't get much smoke there, and you're basically steaming your meat.

It's the Nature of the beast with an upright smoker.... Maybe try a traditional "offset" smoker? I rotate my meat from top to bottom when the unit is full, same as you would by going closer or farther away from the firebox in an offset smoker. Finally, I clean up once it cools, or the next day so I can pull the water pan out with bare hands. I like to spray the whole unit off and put it away clean and dry for next cookout. Yes it's work, but it's fun. I know people with electric smokers and they do a good job too, and are way easier to gain experience on if you've never been much of a charcoal user... I've been surprised by some electric smoked meals! But I know my weber will be around for many years, and parts are easy to get, that's why I buy em or fix up old ones.

@@cjb5490 - One thing I noticed is that on the smaller smoker the door fits tighter. I broke mine in by cold smoking walnuts, which put an oil on the inside surfaces. Sticking smaller cuts of brisket in the Weber Smokey Mountain and cooking competition style, you can make a better brisket than other smokers. Put a bone in pork shoulder in there and you have the main ingredients for the best burritos. I also use a meat injector with Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, and a little Red Wine vinegar, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Good charcoal and apple wood, and that thing will run all day. It's great to sit outside and watch this thing cook. It also holds the temperature extremely well. You don't need an expensive smoker to make good food, you just have to have the passion to create.
