About The Time/Temp Tables In Cooking TopicsThis section of The Virtual Weber Bullet demonstrates how to cook barbecue on the WSM using a number of methods and techniques. You'll also find a variety of reference topics at the end of the page.

This is not an exhaustive list of recipes, and the cooking examples shown here should not be interpreted as the only way or the best way to prepare a certain item on the Weber Bullet. Rather, they are examples of things I have cooked with success on the Weber Bullet and that you might enjoy trying for yourself.

Please Note: All of these cooking topics assume the use of the 18-1/2" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, not the 22-1/2" WSM.

Please enjoy browsing the items below...but don't blame me if you start getting hungry!
