I like the color but the wish they would release it in the same colors as the 22. You will love the stainless steel grate. That is what I was most excited about
Picked up the new 26 master touch. Love the new grate, warming rack, and extra space. Had a ding on the lid but Weber got a new one out in less than a week. I am not sure about the charcoal rails so I just used my old baskets.
The Montgomery Alabama Costco has never had pork belly or whole packers. I have not seen the tri tips in a while. However, we are getting a Costco liquor store
I melted mine on the 4th. I lit the grill and dumped all the coals then refilled the chimney and placed it in the wsm. I went out an hou later to light the wsm and apparently some embers were left and flames were shooting out the bottom. I dumped and threw it in the yard to cool off.
I know from experience butt on the kettle takes some work. You definitely knocked it out of the park.
I must ask is that Ubatuba granite countertops? We just had those installed this week.
i was in HD tonight and they had the pallets of charcoal up on top of the shelves. This is usually a sign of an imminent sale. i picked up some during the Good Friday sale but need some reserves.
There is also usually sales at those places on Good Friday. The price is usually a couple of dollars higher than the summer sales. Costco usually starts carrying Kingsford competition at that time for a good price as well. You may want to check current prices at Sams club.
As an engineer I like numbers and data myself. I have found that bbq is just as much art as science. The meat and fire can act and react differently. Over time you will get a good general feel for what is right. If it doesn't turn out ok just use more sauce. Good luck and have fun.
I have the east/west burners and the rotisserie. The burner arrangement is great for the roto. While I love my 09 grill there are some advantages to the new ones. They come with a double lined hood and heat shields under the burners. That said they are not as good with the roto. I will warn you...
Love the classic black even though I went crimson this year. Got my first one from my parents 14 years ago and still have it. If I had to slim down to one grill it would be my OTG. You can cook everything on their. Enjoy the clean look, it won't stay that way for long.
