I fired up the trusty ol' Performer smoker conversion today and stocked the freezer. Three 4 lb boneless butts on the bottom rack. Two slabs of baby backs on the middle rack. And six big beef short ribs on the top rack. I used the mini-chimney upside down over the Performer gas ignition to fire...

I did Cochinita Pibil (Yucatin Pork) yesterday. The original recipe calls for charring the veggies in a dry skillet before combining with the marinated pork chunks, wrapping in banana leaves, and roasting in a covered foil pan in the oven (like a pot roast). I adapted the recipe. I marinate the...

So, I'm going to blow up the smoker on Saturday and do three things: baby back ribs, cochinita pibil (Yucatin pork), and beef short ribs. I've never done short ribs before. I plan to cook them the same way I do baby backs -- with the smoker in the 225 to 275 range. Baby backs take anywhere from...

While I was busy with some Performer mods, I did a handy little mod to the Weber compact charcoal chimney today. My whole plan for this thing is to pack it in with the charcoal in a mini Kingsford Kaddie to take camping with WGA grill: It's just perfect, except the handle sticks out so far...

I installed the second thermometer port in my Performer this afternoon and took a few pics: First, here are the parts I used: The tube is a 3/4 inch long 1/8 size stainless steel pipe nipple: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003JQJMD8/tvwb-20 You could also use the 1 inch piece of...

A camping trip to Acadia National Park this week was the first time out with my new WGA charcoal, cast iron grates, and assorted accessories. After cooking exclusively on a Weber kettle for over 35 years, this was my first shot at grilling on this type of small grill. I ended up with a crazy hot...

Got a new grate for my Perfomer! A bit of history. 12 years ago, I bought the cast iron grate Weber used to make for the 22 inch kettle. It's a standard nickle plated grate with flip up handles for easy charcoal adding. The center of the grate is cut away, replaced by two rods that drop down...

A little Saturday afternoon Performer maintenance. The brackets and bolts holding the gas burner tube to the kettle were rusted out. I needed to pull the burner tube off to clean it out and decided that it didn't make sense to re-install the rusted piece, so I ordered a new burner assembly from...

I've been cooking exclusively on Weber charcoal grills for over 40 years, so when i decided to get a small portable grill for car camping, the only decision was Smoky Joe or Go Anywhere Charcoal. This will ONLY be used for camping and only used for pretty simple grilling (Rib Eye dumped from a...
