    maverick ET-73 vs ET732(3)

    I agree that most reviews are good but as the majority of most reviews tend to be posted fairly soon after an item is purchased, my thinking was that if there are already a significant number of buyers complaining soon after purchase, I wonder how many of those who posted 'great' early on had...

    18 or 22, I'm struggling.

    I did the math on cooking areas for the 14/18 & 22, then divided the cooking area by the cost to buy, then did some basic assumptions on the fuel I would likely need to cook per hour assuming the top grill only was being used and that it would probably be reasonably filled with meat. The 22 came...

    maverick ET-73 vs ET732(3)

    Hi Robert, I just posted on another thread you started but here is the content as I forget exactly where the post was but I still have the content pasted on my clipboard. Hope this helps a bit My Maverick ET732 was badged RediChek so I am sure it is one and the same. As far as the Ivation...

    Ivation (Maverick 732) Wireless Thermometer - Dual Probe - Remote BBQ Amazon $40 w/FS

    Maverick by name - unreliable by nature? My Maverick ET732 was badged RediChek so I am sure it is one and the same. As far as the Ivation units are concerned, I have seen two versionst. One looks identical to the ET 732 in every way including probes etc so I suspect it is simply a 100%...

    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    Ah gotcha. It looks a damned sight more substantial than the OEM item for sure. I was waiting to see if the replacement door arrives - a/ in an unbent form - b/ with a handle but in hindsight I guess I should have ordered one with the CB replacement door and saved doubling up on the FedEx...

    First Start-Up on New WSM 22.5 Was So Easy!!

    Congratulations Mick. It sounds like you had about as much fun as you can without the smell of meat to keep you company. You will have to share your trick about finding a Weber built in temp gauge that works well. I have only had two and frankly they are more use as ornaments than gauges. I...

    Had a quick look at the link for SouthCo compression latch, did you have a specific piece of kit in mind?

    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    I will post a pic of my OEM door soon to demo how bad the misshaping was. My Cajun Bandit door arrived today. Alas it had a small bit of damage top right but by comparison to the OEM doors its 99% better. I transferred the Weber door handle to the CB door and only then saw how lightweight it...

    UK based WSM 22½" user questions (18" users might know)

    Unbelievable! Searched for ages trying to find this stone in UK and saw the BGE advert but the ad I saw said (we ain't got any and dunno if we will get any more" (see ad here) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HVMBY28/ but looking at your link they want £75 for the plate but BGE users then get...

    UK Based - heat sink options - anyone have any successful experiences to share?

    No joy at B&Q so far and alas as it was Frdiay I decidfed not to fight the Friday rush hour traffic driving back from Brighton and got BattleBoxBQQ to FedEx it to me instead so I didn't have the chat about the ceramic plate. The following post might supercede that and if so, I'll update this...

    UK WSM users - who want to reduce air leaks on their doors

    CB door on the way You must have read my mind Tony as I ordered a CB door from BanditBoxBBQ earlier as I figured your "the doors are rubbish" theme would apply to the Weber replacement due to arrive in March sometime and testing with gaping holes in the door is proving inconsistent. I also...

    UK Based - heat sink options - anyone have any successful experiences to share?

    Thanks Tony. I have been quoted £60 for a 2cm thick 480mm diameter granite round and £48 for the steel plate same size, with one more quote for steel still to come back. Charlie at BattleBoxBBQ said B&Q do a ceramic plate that fits into the tray at a cost of £12 (but damned if I can find it...

    I had similar thoughts Robert so I'll go with the smaller disc trials first - thank you.

    UK Based - heat sink options - anyone have any successful experiences to share?

    Thanks Don. I was aiming to experiment with two plates, the narrow one sitting in the water bath recess and the larger one in the lower grill space each being 25lbs and 30lbs approx respectively and a dozen chicken thighs on the top grill to see what happens. But after seeing yours, I could get...

    UK Based - heat sink options - anyone have any successful experiences to share?

    I am looking at setting up 4 WSMs 57s split between 2 sites (about 5-6 miles apart) so I want to find something I can replicate inexpensively. If I can find something that works I will probably also either share the info with other UK based 'cookers' or set up a tiny supply business to help...

    UK Based - heat sink options - anyone have any successful experiences to share?

    That's great Robert thank you very much. I love what you did there. Since posting I have done some research on materials and costs and 1/4" mild steel was the direction I seem to be heading, just waiting on final costs. . I could use help on one decision which is this; if I am using a 21" WSM...

    Yes I know you really like your pizza stone #:) but what I am looking for is something in Europe that would be similar instead of having to buy from USA
