The website (Wired) complains that I had an ad-blocker installed, so I couldn't read the article. I can pay $1 a week to get access, but I think I am going to pass :D

I've had that too, and luckily it ended up on the shield and not the deck or driveway

When I finally moved from gas to charcoal, I put the old POS gas grill out at the curb. Sure enough, within 10 minutes a neighbor asked about it and wheeled it down the street to her yard. 5 years later and it's still sitting there, never been used since. Awesome find for you. I need...

On my WSM, which sits unused for a lot longer than my one-touch gold, I leave the top and one bottom vent cracked open to let a little airflow move through when it sits in my garage. I heard it is good to do in case any moisture is in there, so that it'll dry out and not sit/get moldy. Do you...

I upgraded to the Craycort cast iron in my OTG and love them so far!

you'll do fine with the 18. i have the same and it's just me, my wife, and our newborn. i've smoked pork ribs, beer can chicken, turkey breasts, and a pork shoulder or two on mine over the past few years and never felt like i needed to go bigger.

love the patios in the pictures posted above. i have a concrete patio next to my detached garage, and i plan on extending the garage roof to cover the patio to have something similar one day

I used to foil them but the extra effort didn't seem to make too much of a difference. I now just season them and throw them on at 250-275 for about 4.5-5 hours. I baste at the 3 hour mark, and slather on some bbq sauce towards the end.

Nothing special - just smoked a slab of baby back pork ribs over the weekend on my 18" wsm and took a few pics. before: during: after:

thats grounds for revoking a man card!!

Thanks guys. I've just been brushing/coating with oil as the OTG is heating up, then after the cook I just brush them off.

I have the Craycort CI grates on my OTG kettle and they're great

what a find...hope you can keep it in the family and put it all to good use!!

Got a Craycort cast iron grill grate for my Weber OTG for Christmas and haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. Anyone here have any tips or recommendations for first time use? I think I read it will need to be seasoned before/after each use...

your pictures make me want to leave work and go smoke something. too bad it's freezing cold and snowing in NJ right about now...

can never go wrong with some baby back ribs

WSM isn't used as often so it stays in the garage when not in use. I have a OTG that sees more duty so it stays on my back deck. I got a heavy duty grill cover on amazon last year since the cheap Weber one would never hold up outdoors all year round.

also keep in mind that adjusting any of the vents won't adjust the temperature right away - usually takes 10-15 minutes to see a difference.

I have a copy of Smokin' with Myron Mixon and it's pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345528530/tvwb-20?tag=TVWB-20

when i started out, it took awhile before i realized that adjusting the bottom 3 vents wouldn't change anything right away. you need to adjust and then give it 10 or so minutes to notice any change in temp.
