using my weber 22 kettle with sns, I have made some really great pulled pork with the exact smoke flavor and bark I want , I recently starting using a wsm 22 and my pulled pork turns out good but it does not have the same bark, almost like its to soft, and there was not nearly as much smoke flavor granted I have only done 2 cooks on this . I'm thinking I just need more wood in the pit,(using soo donut method about 6 chunks of hickory oak mix) ? should I add it directly to the coals a few times during the cook? and for the bark maybe I should not fill the water pan as full? or no water.... thanks in advance for your insight

If it ain't broke - don't fix it. Use your kettle for pulled pork. It does a fantastic job by your own comments. My only suggestion would be to cut a large butt into smaller pieces so you get more bark.

In the immortal words of Ron B "if it ain't broke..." my friend and fellow pit peep.your issue is not with the 22 kettle. Your issue is with the WSM. "HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A 26" kettle?" Cook up top and cook below too. Hinged grates and the certainty of the SnS.
I resoectully submit you need a 26" Kettle.
thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
Use the 22" kettle if that's what works best. I put 2 butts in mine routinely, in the 8# range. Cutting them in half gives you not only more delicious bark, but more wiggle room for fitting them in there.
