Mickm8 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi all, Relatively new to 'low & slow' and so far I have been using a Weber kettle with some success (baby back ribs, whole chicken etc). I have decided to get myself a standalone 'smoker' and have more or less decided on a ProQ, I also looked at the Weber Smokey Mountain but after reading many reviews I have decided on the former. So here I am looking for tips and advice etc. Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Good mate, much of a muchness I have the smaller wsm and love it but the pro Q is also a very nice choice Tips I have the smokefire mod on mine which really helps dial it in. and of course stove rope to seal up the looser parts around the door and lid, plus I have added a hinge which i got form the pro q store. The hinge is a good idea as otherwise the inconvenience of the lid being put down picked up whilst not a problem is nice to get rids off. I also fill the water bowl with sand not water as a heatsink. I line the bowl with foil too so it is easy to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
