    latest opinions on covers

    Original cover for my 22.5 is shot. Vinyl is all stiff and cracked and the cooker got full of water and mold. I wanted to replace with something other than the cheap weber product. There are a few alternatives out there, and I wanted to hear any relevant experiences/opinions.

    pre sliced belly

    Enjoyed making bacon with Bob's process so much, that I have been planning to do it again. I don't have a local Costco, but my brother does. I have seen posts here about the bellies there, so I asked him to pick one up for me. He said all they had was pre sliced, so he picked that up. I am...

    vortex questions

    Thinking about getting one of these. In addition to the usual uses, I was thinking it might be handy at firing a 20 inch round bottom wok that I have. I saw a thread here where someone listed dimensions, but I wasn't sure if that was small or medium. My grill is a 22.5 performer deluxe. My...

    barbecue shredded beef

    Has anyone tried the recipe listed under cooking topics? It looks a lot simpler and shorter than a brisket. I have tried psb, and wasn't too happy with the taste. I am wondering if any of you had any success with this recipe.

    pastrami questions

    I am thinking of trying my hand at pastrami this spring. I am guessing corned beef drops in price after the 17th. Does it freeze well for later use? Does anyone have any tips/experience to share? I wasn't sure if this should be "barbecue," or "charcutterie" question...

    safety concern

    I followed the instructions with the MTQ and some extra brown sugar that Mr. Correll laid out in the epic post above. I turned the belly every 24 hours during the cure. After 6 days I decided to rinse it to prepare for smoking. As I was finishing the rinse, I noticed a small spot that must not...

    soundbars

    I have a big 5.1 system in my man cave in the finished third floor. I want to upgrade the main floor living room tv. My far better half does not want all of the speakers and paraphernalia to come downstairs. Have any of you used a yamaha yas 203?

    carbon (not stainless) steel cutlery

    I recently seasoned a new wok over a charcoal fire with my son. He is 11, and immediately by my side whenever I am cooking outside. Anyway, the conversation is always interesting, and that day's subject was metallurgy. I am aware they are a little more maintenance, but I am thinking of...

    smoking cheese

    I have a wsm 22 and performer deluxe along with a maverick 732. My kid has expressed an interest in smoking cheese. Can anyone recommend some basic references about this or share some of your experiences. Is it possible to do a cold smoke on the performer?

    performer lid bail modification

    performer lid bale modification I ordered a deluxe, and it is waiting for pick up at store as I write this. (Green shot up $55 in price at amazon- still $399 at HD) I have read a few posts here about the plastic rollers on the lid bale melting to the outside of the kettle. Can anyone...

    performer deluxe question

    Wife is going to wring my neck, but she couldn't argue when I had to pick up an extra 24 hour shift at work..... bit of a windfall-what should I do with it? Thinking about blowing some of the money on a performer deluxe really soon. I already have wsm 22.5, and love it. Is the diameter the...

    psb question

    Have any of you ever used Montreal steak seasoning instead of s&p? About how long should it take to get to 160 degrees right out of the fridge? (I got a pair of chuck roasts that weigh 6.6# together.)

    first cook

    Alright, be patient with me. I finally got around to trying out my new 22.5 WSM this past weekend. It was a breezy day in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I never used a smoker before. That was nothing compared to trying to figure out posting the images here. I still am not sure if this will...

    smoke color

    I fired up my wsm 22 today with a few chunks of hickory. I observed as the smoke was very grey at first, then cleared. I plan to do some roadside chicken without the pan tomorrow, so some grease can aerosolize and start to season my cooker. My question is: do you usually wait for the smoke...

    Another Newbie

    I have been enjoying this sight for awhile- doing a lot of homework. You guys have so much advice to offer. I am excited to join you. I ordered a wsm 22.5 through the vwbb link to Amazon on Friday night. It should be here tomorrow. I hope it is the 2014 model. I called a local orchard and...
