    WSM or Performer?

    Get the performer, I have an older S/S red head I completly rebuilt and just love it. The performer is a MUST in the cooking arsenal, plus you can smoke on it as well, so..its a win-win. It is just a matter of time before youll eventually have a WSM to keep the performer company. One can not...

    Grinding your own hamburger

    I love grinding a packer brisket...makes the best burgers ever...you will not go back to chuck. Comes out to be about 80/20 mixture w/ the fat cap and point. Very juicy and tender, incredible flavor.

    Tonights beef ribs

    They take anywhere between 4-6 hrs. I agree it appears they need more time, but they photgraph looking really Gristly, they just dissolve in your mouth....super tender. I coat em heavy w/ a rub and sometimes foil for an hr. They have enough fat where you really dont have to though. I usually pic...

    vertical smokers

    I really love my vertical. This is a STUMPS SW223, he only made a handful of these, 5 shelves 20X20 Pneumatic tires, very easy to move from garage to back yard. I can burn a charcoal basket, or split logs. I love it. My fav thing is to burn logs in it, set and forget it types r nice..but boring...

    Weber kettle rotisserie fork replacements

    Yeah I believe the rod is universal, any place that sells grill stuff should have various rotiss parts. I bought a 4 prong set online when I ordered a S/S basket for my rotiss.

    Brisket flats - Injection?

    You are going to get an array of answers, but to me...I always by CAB which is choice or top third of choice. I think the end product is better. However, if you inject I do not think it makes that big of a deal and the price diff may not be worth it. I use KOSMOS beef injection, which is...

    Should I get a big Pit or More WSMs?

    I think it depends on where you see yourself in a few years as well. Sounds likes its growing...so instead of buying a little here and there...bite the bullet. Id look into an enclosed trailer and an FEC cooker of the sort. Trailers can be very affordable if your patient, id look into a...

    Cover for Pre-2005 Performer

    I have a red s/s '98 that I restored. After replacing almost every part, it looked brand new, I had to get a cover for it..looked everywhere for the older ones, just not out there. I broke down and got one from Weber for $50. Grill is under a covered patio but...keeping the elements off will add...
