Sweet!

George, thanks for the tip. I did open it up a couple of weeks ago after it started running loadly. All the grease was dried out so I lubed it up in hopes that would help. I think I'll try one more time and go a little deeper and try to get some oil into the gear shaft too. At this point I...

My kettle charcoal rotissirie motor gave out about the time I finished our first Thanksgiving turkey on Wednesday. Had to change plans for turkey #2 Thanksgiving day. Called Weber Wednesday afternoon and a replacement is $44. They only offer the standard WB199, no other options are available...

Chad, I just noticed this post. I know I'm late but thought I would pass this on for future reference. A couple of months ago I fixed ABTs stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, some parmesan cheese, and garlic. Split the jalapenos in half stuffed and wrapped most...

Picked up two 22" hinged grates Friday for $8.98 each at the local Target. Grills weren't marked down only some of the accessories. Doesn't seem to be any consistancy on what and when they mark down grill items. HerbS

About a month ago I started shutting down my vents so I could reuse left over charcoal. Don't know what took me so long try it. I've cut my charcoal consumption by 40-50%. I haven't had any issues getting used charcoal to start. Put them in the bottom of the chimney, top off with fresh...

Ever since I purchased my OTG in 2004 my Weber Genesis has been relegated to an overflow oven. Gasser works great for baking casseroles and appetizers when we have large crowds especially over the holidays. HerbS

Mike, Pork roast looks great, the finished product looks awesome. I did a chicken yesterday, sorry no pictures, we were equally impressed with the results. Rotisserie ran very smoothly with no jerking action that I've experienced with other rotisserie. Results were an extremely juicy and...

My understanding is that covers for the old style performers (SS Tops) are no longer available. Any substitute suggestions? Thanks, Herb S

Like Corey, I have two 22s a kettle and a performer. I usually cook on the kettle and when I need more space I fire up the performer. I keep looking for a 26" preferably a redhead.

Rob, I purchased a SS performer that didn't have the propane tank. The guy moved from another state and the moving company wouldn't transport it. I looked around for a replacement for awhile and all I found were around $50, so I just continued to use my chimney. Look for Manchester 5 lb LP...

Mike, Interesting response from Weber. Brian, Nice setup and great looking birds. Thanks for all the great feedback. I will definitely give it a try. HerbS

Kendall, I asked if I could get a red replacement lid and he said that would not be a problem. He knew I was pricing parts for a 1998 model I didn't think to ask him specifically if it would match the older red until after I hung up. You are probably right it is the new brick red color. HerbS

That's interesting, maybe I got someone who didn't know what he was talking about or misinformed. If it's a safety issue I would think putting the rotisserie on a performer would and safer and more stable than putting it on a standalone kettle. I'm going to call back later this week and see...

I recently purchased a SS redhead performer on craigslist. Frame and bowl are in great shape can’t say the same about the lid. It also included a rotisserie but the forks are missing. Decided to call Weber customer service and price a replacement lid ($41.4) and forks. After he priced the...
