    Buying a Weber gasser .. recommendations?

    I purchased a Genesis E-330 NG (stainless steel) last October after many months of research. Prior to that I grilled with the 22 1/ inch for 7 years. My biggest disappointment was (and still is) flavor. Gas grills are convenient but they in no way compete with the flavor of Webers charcoal...

    Easter Smoke? Can you smoke a rib roast with the bone in?

    I did take some but it seems like too much work to post them here. A drag and drop feature would be ideal…

    Mark, Cost aside… just the size of a rib roast is intimidating. EB

    Easter Smoke? Can you smoke a rib roast with the bone in?

    Well folks, yesterday was my first time smoking a rib roast. I used Chris Allinghams` recipe/technique. All I can say is wow. Everyone loved it including 3 yr olds. We ended up purchasing a 4 rib Prime USDA rib roast for 20. The butcher recommended the 4 rib after we told him how many people...

    Easter Smoke? Can you smoke a rib roast with the bone in?

    I`m considering smoking a rib roast for Easter. (I searched this site but couldn`t find anything so I apologize beforehand if this is a repeat post) Several questions: 1) I`m looking at smoking a 5-6 bone rib roast for 15 people... Is this enough or should I get something bigger? 2) How...

    Can you smoke without a water pan?

    Just an update: I ended up ordering a new pan from Weber. The new pan is deeper. No sense in messing with a good thing so I`ve been using water for all of my smokes. Happy Smoking! EB

    Can you smoke without a water pan?

    Hey Guys, My wife heard about my dilemma, ran to Party City and found an aluminum tray that "sort of, kind of" fits the 18 1/2! Its not a permanent fix but I think it`ll get the job done this time. In the meantime, I`ll call Weber and get the appropriate pan. Thanks, EB

    Can you smoke without a water pan?

    My Weber smoker was submerged during Sandy (October "hurricane" from 2012). I threw out the grates and the water pan and completely forgot to order the water pan several weeks ago... now I`m supposed to smoke 2 pork shoulders and 5 racks of ribs but I have no water pan. Just wondering if its...

    I can't sleep when I cook overnight.

    What are the what ifs? If you`re smoking for yourself, you can just start over if something catastrophic happens. If you`re catering or smoking for guests, I can understand that a little more. When I first started smoking, I ran out of fuel by 6a because I wasn`t reloading around midnight...

    I can't sleep when I cook overnight.

    I hear you. I had this issue on my first couple of overnighters but now that I have pulled pork down to a science, I know exactly what I need to do so I don`t lose sleep over it. My overnights look like this... 4p: start smoke midnight: reload fuel 7-8a: remove shoulder wrap in foil, let it...
