Weber Smokey Mountain 101 Basics and Ribs, Ribs, Ribs!!

I remember the day I got my first Weber Smokey Mountain. I had done my research and spoken with mates who owned one, so the excitement was very high.

I wasn’t a newbie to bbq by any means. I owned an offset smoker and a Weber Performer and had BBQ’d many a rack of ribs and my fair share of briskets, shorties and boston butts.

Nonetheless, when the day finally arrived to fire her up for the first time, I still needed advice on how to use this particular bbq. I searched YouTube and the likes, and couldn’t really find much on the basic functions. Like what the heck was the minion method, how did I light it and how would I maintain temperature. How much water in the water tray was too much??

So years later I’ve finally decided to throw together a quick video to take you through what I wanted to know on my first go. And what better way to do that, than with 6 racks St Louis Pork Swifties. Hope this helps someone on their bbq journey today.
