Saw an aluminum cover for the water bowl in the WSM, on Amazon for $29.99. Any opinions from those that have used it? Thanks, Al

Sorry for being late to the party, but I have an SMG from a company called Gabby's grills. Very simple design, but it's all steel and cast iron. It works beautifully and I just love it! I have some grill grates that were cut for my 22.5 Performer that I use on the cooking surface of the SMG...

This is the real deal, guys. I have been there a few times and it is Amazing! Best brisket I have ever had yet; fabulous flavor & texture. Everthing else is awesome too. Only thing I haven't tried is the pecan pie. You people in Arizona owe it to yourself to try it! I love this place! Al

Wow! I had no idea...Thanks, Chris Al

Anyone know where to find whole turkeys, now that the holidays are all gone? None of the local grocery stores have them, they said not until October-ish. Thanks, Al

Anyone have any ideas on how to empty the water pan after a cook without making a HUGE mess trying to balance it to lift it out without spilling it everywhere. I'm using a 22 WSM and the pan clean up is such a pita that I've learned how to operate quite well without it tho I would like to use it...

Thanks for the kind words, Bob. The ribs I turned in passed all the criteria you stated; but what is the significence of the dry bone? Our bones turned bleach white almost immediately after taking a bite. I have heard of this qualifier, but noone ever explained why it's important. Sincerely, Al

Thanks Todd, I guess you're right, to get to there from here, it's practice, practice, practice!

Did the comp. last week. Not the results I hoped for but had a great time. We finished mid-pack out of 48 teams. The comp was for ribs only. Our scores were opposite of what we wanted; highest for appearance, then taste then tenderness. I was really disapointed at the mid range scores for...

Thanks everyone for the advice/heads-up! I'll post again with the results, & pics if possible. Al

Hi everyone, I will be in my first comp in a few weeks (amateur division) in the suburban Chicago area. How do I know or find out what flavor profile the judges are looking for? We will be doing ribs. I have 2 sauce recipes of my own, 1 mild/sweet and 1 sweet/spicy/peppery. I would appreciate...

Hi everyone, Just saw an episode of Diners, drive-ins & dives where they were showing ribs being rubbed & smoked without removing the silverskin, but removing it after the ribs were cooked, before serving. The pitmaster said this helped the ribs retain more moisture, and they sure looked like...

I haven't done this mod yet, but maybe someone here has, and can let me know if this would work ok. Basically I would like to lower the bottom grate about 3", which would make access to food on that rack much easier thru the side door and still allow room to add fuel as needed. I'm wondering...

30 seemed so old... You found out pro baseball players got PAID to do that? Playing outside all day?/No video games

Just started using my iq 110 with good results but in good weather (80 deg. & light wind). I used it with all the bottom vents closed and it held temp very well. Do any of you users think this will negate the need for a wind break in windy/cooler conditions? I'm thinking that if all the bottom...

Has anyone tried using the lid from a standard 22.5 Weber kettle on the 22.5 WSM? Just wondered what effect the lower dome height would have on food on the top grate of the WSM, or the overall performance of the WSM. Thanks, Al

Hi everyone, I happened across the website for the rib o lator, looks kind of interesting. Anyone here ever use it and what are your thoughts ? Thanks, Al

Thanks, Dave, but it's the one with the plastic side table.

I'm looking for a replacement cover for my Weber performer which is 11 or 12 years old, and all the covers I see listed are only supposed to fit models from 2005 and later. They look to me like they will fit; anyone know for sure? Thanks, Al

I am having trouble keeping it lit in my wsm, since it's fairly air tight. No trouble with my el-cheapo side fire box Char-griller, that thing leaks air like crazy!
