I tried searching here before posting and got several hits on 'sketchup' but not what I was looking for. I'm working on a design for long counter with a couple of OTG's built in. I need to be able to get the dimensions right and they are indexed by the space taken for the kettle and the lid...

Within the last 90 days I've added 2 used Performers and a Jumbo Joe to my OTG and Smokey Joe mini-WSM to my gear. I didn't really plan for it, but CL produced the listings; and the way of the flesh is weak. :p The Jumbo Joe was practically brand new. There was ash from one fire still in the...

The last several times I've logged in, the response time has been very slow. I've timed it today and it runs 12 to 18 seconds. I'm not experiencing this on other forums. Is anyone else seeing slow response at TVWBB? I ask because I'm also having problems being logged off, sometimes while I'm...

I found a 1996 Performer with Touch 'n Go ignition on CL. After getting lost 2 or 3 times trying to find the seller, I bought the grill even though it has some problems. The ash sweeping blades are completely gone as is the rod that turns the apparatus. The bracket that holds the ash sweeper...

Can someone point me to a parts diagram for this Performer, please?

In looking at pics on Craigs List, the size of Weber kettles is not always indicated. Are there tell-tales and give-aways that are foolproof to determine the diameter from pics?

Having seen the hinge that is meant for the WSM, I was wondering if there is such a thing designed for the 22.5" kettle?

I read a thread sometime within the last couple of weeks - probably more recently - where someone reported that Target is doing their seasonal sale putting Jumbo Joes on sale for ~$30. IIRC the post included a SKU or UPC that could be used to search and a URL for finding stores near you that...

I bought the Vortex a few months back and have used it a few times on my OTG. I like to do a progressive burn around the perimeter of the kettle when I'm doing butts or other low and slow smokes. I've not used the vortex to load the fire grate because I haven't figured a way to have a starting...

Just came back from our HEB (Texas supermarket chain) with an 18-1/2 lb. cryo packed vacuum sealed full packer for $2.47 a lb. - $45 and change. I went looking for more boston butts and found this. I've only ever done brisket in my MES, but I've gotten pretty comfortable with the snake weave...

I'm set to do a couple of pork shoulders (butts) on my OTG tomorrow. The meat is rubbed and waiting in the fridge. Thought I'd lay my charcoal this PM and get started a o-dark-thirty tomorrow. I want to cook them low and slow and thought I'd use the charcoal ring method. It's been awhile...

I see that they retail for $60 + tax. I figured half that would be a bargain. Yes? No? What are you seeing them go for?

I'm thinking about building a table with casters and hanging my OTG kettle off one end, sort of like a Performer. I plan to cover the top with tile. The idea is to gain a little more table top space than my Weber grill table provides. I've got the design done, but when it comes to fixing the...

Other than kettle color, does Weber make - or have they ever made - more than one model of the Performer?

If you folks have never done business with Owens BBQ, let me reassure you that they are good folks. I ordered the medium size Vortex briquettes manager from them last weekend. After thinking about it for a day, I was concerned that I had ordered one too big for my 22.5" Weber OTG. I sent an...

Is it just me or is the automatic logoff function creating problems for others as well. Sometimes, I'll be writing up a post and when I hit SUBMIT I find out I've been logged off. Is there a setting I can change or is this done the same for all users?

I did a search on this topic but the hits were mostly for the Performer and WSM grills instead of kettles; so I'm posting in the certain knowledge that these questions have been asked and answered before. First, the pros and cons of drilling through the kettle (base not top) vs letting the...

I have been doing more and more smoking with my 22.5" OTG. I use my MES electric only for its ability to handle more food. I've been having trouble getting and maintaining temperature. While I'd like to have it run at 222.5°F for the whole period, Mother Nature says otherwise; so I come here...

Can anyone tell me if this accessory is still available, and, if so, where it can be purchased? I could not find it on the Weber web site. A product number would help, too, if you have one. Thanks:blackkettle:

When I put mine together a couple of years ago, I was in such a hurry to try it out that I didn't bother to paint the IMUSA steamer. Now, I'd like to paint it to match the SJ but it is pretty grimy after much use. I know that most of you who painted their SJ/mWSM did so before first use, but...
