I just bought 4 Lodge cast iron skillets from Walmart (they're on sale!), and am thinking about seasoning them in my charcoal Weber grill. Does anyone know if this would work? My only concern is the ash build up and how that might affect the seasoning process.

I use the 4-3-2-1 method to smoke my St. Louis Style spare ribs on my 22.5 Kettle. (Rotate the ribs at the end of the 1st hour, foil them 2nd hour, sauce them at 3rd, remove them at 4th). They come out great, but they are so loose at that point that the bones just slide off. It's not the kind...

Hi y'all, My wife gave me the OK to get another grill. (I know, lucky am I, right?) I am debating between getting the large 26" Kettle and a 22" WSM. My main purpose is to be able to smoke a whole packer brisket without having to reload charcoal during my overnight cooks. Also, I want to...

When I am smoking on my 22" OTG, I typically close the top vent to 50% to lower the temperature. I generally leave the bottom vent wide open. If I am shooting for cooking low and slow, does it matter which vent I close? I want to try to maintain the same 225 temps while extending the life of...

I love the older OTG lids with their inner lid hooks placed directly under the thumb area of the handle. It makes it very easy to slide onto edge of the grill for hanging while your hand is grabbing the handle vertically like a beer mug. But at my local grilling store, I noticed that the...

Every sausage I've ever grilled has always come out either dry or undercooked. I'm paranoid about eating an undercooked chicken sausage. I've been told to grill it for 15 minutes. At the 15 minute mark, it's always dry. Does anyone have a foolproof method of grilling juicy, yet fully...

Thanks to the help on this forum, I made my first smoked turkey in my 22" Weber grill! My Circulon 18x15 roasting pan ($25 now at Costco) didn't fit inside, so I made some modifications: remove the grill grate and put 2 foil wrapped bricks on the bottom grate to keep the roasting pan at a...

The Circulon 18x15 turkey roasting pan ($30 now at Costco) fits on the grill grates inside the 22" OTG, but then the lid won't close. I'm going to have to improvise with some bricks on the bottom charcoal grate, and have the roasting pan lie on top of them. I have never cooked with bricks...

Hi everyone, I would like to use my Weber Smokey Mini, or my 22.5" Weber kettle to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. I've never cooked turkey before (although I have made good use of my grills for other occasions). Can I get some advice or links to some fool-proof methods for grilling/smoking a...

I have bags of unused fine hardwood/charcoal dust. My remaining Frontier bags from a Lowes sale each have several pounds of it. I hate to see so much go to the trash. Is there any way to salvage these smaller pieces that would otherwise fall through the bottom grates? Does anyone have any...

My local Costco Business center had a new shipment of packer briskets, so I couldn't resist. I wanted to find one that's a full packer, but short enough to fit in my 14.5 mini-WSM build. I knew I was going to fold the flat part underneath the point. 11.5lbs turned into about 10lbs after...

I'd like to use the Q200 for making bacon, pancakes, hash browns, etc. I saw the Weber ones online but I think they are pricey/discontinued. Does anyone use a 3rd party griddle that is large enough to fit the whole area of the Q grill?

I had been waiting all this time to get KBB bags on sale at Lowe's (40lbs for $10!), and so in the meantime I had been using Costco's Kingsford Competition briquets. Today, I made spatchcock chicken using a fresh bag of KBB, and with one quick whiff of the smoke, I can say that I was being...

Hi just picked up a new GAG off CL yesterday and have some questions: 1) How long should it take to light up? I'm using a Coleman camping canister. It seems to take about 15-30 seconds of leaving the gas on before the ignitor lights it up. 2) Is it normal for the ignitor assembly to get...

I had initially tried making Brazilian Picanha by holding the meat on a long skewer over an open flame: This presented some problems: namely, the proximity of the charcoal caused excessive flare ups from the fat, thus charring the meat. The outside burned too quickly while leaving a large...

Here's what I've always envisioned, and finally got the time to do this past Saturday: 12"x6ft wood, with a couple of 2x3 studs. Some screws, a couple of hinges and L hooks. The L hooks latch on top of the existing handle: The hinges allow me to store it away when not in use: Total...

How's this for healthy eating: grilled potato wedges. I got this far: russet potatoes, garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and grill them for ~8 minutes on each side (I consider a potato wedge to have 3 sides). I just did this now on my Q200. The Q200 can hold 4 large russet potatoes that have...

I visited my local OSH for their tax-free sale this past weekend (yes, even Webers were tax-free), and noticed some interesting differences among the Weber gas grills: 1. The Summit's stainless steel grates are larger than the Genesis's, but the individual rods are also much further apart from...

Today, I decided to try making fried chicken on the Q200 grill for the first time. I rubbed some drumsticks with Lawry's seasoning salt, oil, and a tablespoon of mayo. Then, I mixed it in a bag of flour, pepper, garlic salt, and a handful of crushed sour cream and onion potato chips. Indirect...

When I tried my first all-day smoke (see http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?49344-All-day-smoke-of-an-8lb-pork-shoulder-on-a-wsm-mini-build-This-is-what-happened), the frail pie pan I had been using as my drip pan/water pan tipped over and spilled over half my lit charcoal. This could have ruined...
