I have found that the best way to clean the grease in kettles is with Brillo/SOS pads, hot water, and a little elbow grease. The steel wool with soap will cut through about any build-up. sometimes I use stainless steel HD scour pads with Dawn dishwasing soap, with about the same results. Also...

well, the black handles arrived from Weber yesterday... it turns out that a handle kit consists of one handle, not two... so now I need more... the Weber part number for the black handles is 63080, if anyone is interested. Now I need to call Weber again and see if they will ship me more of them...

Jim, Yeah, 3 sets... 2 for the Ranch Kettle, 2 for the 22" WSM, and one each for the 18" WSM's. The white handles are tough to keep clean, so I thought I would replace them. anyway... I received my order from Weber yesterday, and everything arrived except my black handles?!? So I called Weber...

Jim, I purchased a Copper OTS from target for $99.99, so the issue never came up for me. I talked to Weber several times and with several cust-serv reps to work out the order for this new item. After the 3 sets of black handles show up from Weber, I'll try to order several more, and if all goes...

touch and go - propane start your right, removed all the propane start parts

I recently purchased a new 22" performer to replace the one I had that was falling apart. By falling appart, I mean that I racked the frame pushing it around in the snow, and it had a woble in it. so I took my two old grills and combined the parts, and between them we came up with this. My...

Have any of you tried paper towels with denatured alcohol, I find it works much better than oil because it doesn't smoke like oil does and it burns way hotter and I think that it lights the chimeny faster than oil does. But mainly because it burns so cleanly, and burning oil isn't pleasant...

Hi, Long time reader, but first post ever... I'm planning on designing an auto hitch mount to hold a WSM while traveling on the road (for my RV) So I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with making something similar and can offer any advice I was thinking that the sections could be...

Gregg, I'd love to get a second, but I think my wife is at her tolerance threshold for BBQ stuff for a while... and she hasn't seen my dual Stoker set-up yet. (expected to arrive tomorrow) I'm lucky She dosn't know how much it all costs, approaching $800 and I'm not done yet (WSM $200 - 18.5...

It's true, 18.5" one-touch platinum's are still available. mine just arrived yesterday. I took a leap of faith and ordered one from CCESHOP.COM and it arrived in less than two weeks. I love the "WSM de luxe" mod and can't wait to get started on it. I also ordered another bran'new WSM from Amazon...
