Hi all, is there a no-drill upgrade temp gauge replacement for the WSM? Looking for a new one but not interested in drilling for now. My WSM is an 18" if that matters. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi all, what do you all do after a smoke to clean your WSM. Not looking for any extensive cleaning/rehab info, just basic care. What I do now is scrub the grates with a grill brush, empty out the water pan, charcoal chamber and then do a quick hose down of the rest. I then let it dry in the...

Any recommendations on commercial or home wine glass cleaning solutions. I've used the Wine Enthusiast Stem Shine brand for a few years and it lasted forever, but it is now $30 (as opposed to about $12 when I bought years ago.) Thanks in advance. Paul

Anyone use and have thoughts on Paul Prudhomme BBQ seasoning (aka Magic Barbecue Seasoning) as a rub for smoked meats? I really like his seafood magic but am interested in trying this. Thanks, Paul

For any of you who celebrate the Feast of the 7 Fishes I am wondering if you use your grill or WSM for any dishes? If so could you share recipes? Thanks in advance, Paul

For those of you who think about it, what background music do you play during cooking and dinner? I often go with some jazz and some blues, usually the older stuff, keep it low enough to let the conversations flow. But I've done Herb Alpert, Grateful Dead, Little Feat, and Allman Brothers in...

Want to share this pic of my frying pot. This this my basic setup for frying Turkeys on Thanksgiving (and a few other times a year). My fryer pot is a beer keg, top cut off and handles added (by a machine shop). My stove is from Bayou Classic. The lid is a standard one I got from a restaurant...

I was on the Ocean City MD Boardwalk over the weekend and stopped at a place called "Pollock Johnnys". I've been going there for years and they have a sauce they call "The Works" that I always get on my hot sausage. I was wondering: 1.) If any of you had a recipe for this (or like this) that...

Hi all, I am in need of a new grill cover for my Weber gas grill. After doing some online research I figured I would get real recommendations from this forum. Most of the covers look like they are made by the same place and just have a different logo slapped on (but I could be wrong.) Anyway...

The latest issue (Jul/Aug 2020) of Cooks Illustrated ran a test on Remote-Probe Thermometers. Thermoworks Smoke came in as the only one "Highly Reccomended". Weber iGrill2 came in as "Not Recommended." YMMV. Cheers, Paul

May be an obvious question BUT since mine is new...If I want to heat up the water in my water pan on my 18.5 WSM before starting the cook, can I put the pan directly on a burner (side burner on my gas grill.) Thanks, Paul

Hi all, just got my very first WSM - an 18.5 beauty that I fired up this past weekend. I really am in need of a prep/equip table for my outdoor cooking area (I also have a Weber gas grill in proximity.) I am thinking something like this...

Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on best rub for a fried turkey? This can be either commercial rubs or homemade recipes. I realize timing of the rub as well as application technique is essential as the hot oil will burn off alot of any surface rub. Thanks, Paul (and yes I...

Hi all, Do new WSMs come with the vinyl Weber covers? Thanks Pasul

What are your personal favorite pre-made sauces and rubs? And for which meat do you use these? I have used Texas Rib Rangers rub and sauce for ribs recently but, as I am just getting serious about BBQ I am open to any and all suggestions. (I realize taste is subjective but quality is not!)...

Philly is a great food town but does not have a plethora of good BBQ places. This is starting to change a little. It will probably never be a BBQ town but at least there are some places starting to open and/or get some recognition. There are more than are listed in this article but it is a...

So I have been thinking about getting a WSM and have pretty much settled on the 18.5 model. I saw one at Home Depot today and was fiddling with it. I have read about but never quite understood what people meant by the issues with he door. So my questions are: 1. How much fiddling or opening...

Hi all, I am ISO leftover recipe ideas for a Strip Loin Roast. Picked up a nice 5 lbs roast on sale at the local Giant and did it rotisserie stye rubbed with just some salt and pepper. The roast turned out great but now I have a lot leftover. If anyone has any recipes I would most appreciate...

Hello from the Philly Burbs. I have been in the process of doing to some repairs to my :blackgenesis: Genesis EP-330 LP (purchased 2011) these past 2 weeks and some Google searches brought me to this forum. Thought I would share my experience as a way of intro. First, I had been noticing some...
