    Project idea: 22" Kettle in a portable Jumbo Joe format

    I've been mulling this idea for a project for a long time. I love my Jumbo Joe for its portability and that it locks the lid so you can carry the whole thing with the lid handle. I use it when we're in the camper to grill dinner and then after we eat I just toss some firewood on top of the hot...

    New Life For My Beloved SSP

    So, as I've told the story on here several times, I bought a WSK on a $750 discount last year for cyber Monday. I had heard so much about them and I wasn't convinced that it was really better than my trusty redhead SSP and WSM. And, I figured at the deep discounted price I could use it, prove to...

    Got my grilling buddy back...

    So our 11 month old boxer ZuZu got sick about 2 weeks ago. Stopped eating or drinking. Over the next week and a half we had 5 different vet/hospital visits, every med you can think of, and lots of lost sleep and tears. She had swallowed an entire bladder squeeze noise maker out of a dog toy and...

    Moldy WSM solution

    So, we just recently moved from OKC to South Georgia. The movers were really good with all my Weber grills. They had my WSM completely wrapped in plastic and tape, which was great for moving it. Unfortunately I didn't immediately think about the fact that it couldn't air out and I didn't...

    Charcoal Go Anywhere lower vent mods?

    I do love my CGA but I absolutely detest the crappy metal vent closure strips for the lower vents. I have wracked by brain for a good mod for it and I've searched the interwebs for something and I haven't come up with anything good yet. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any mods to replace...
