The various blogs also say that a WSM will "season" if thats the right term by building up a layor of smoke residue inside which helps create more consistent temps etc.

this is my first WSM so I'm new to a lot of this stuff. I can say though that my first experience was great and I look forward to learning how to do this better.

My next cook (soon I think) will be a couple of chickens to see if I can improve on what I did in last year's Alki Beach State Championship cookoff.
