Hi All, I just picked up a brand new WSC off Craigslist for $900. So far, I have smoked pork belly, roasted some chickens, and cooked a few pizzas. Everything has turned out great and I love the cooker, with two exceptions. - Removable center of cooking rack. This is a pain and I don't see...

My 2010 performer is acting up lately. When I get the flame lit, it makes a whistling noise of sorts and then goes out fairly quickly. It seems as if it isn't getting enough propane. I have a 20# tank attached and tried it with a small disposable tank as well. It happens with both, although it...

Moved to charcoal grill forum as the problem appears to be with the performer itself.

I made this for a party over the weekend and it turned out pretty well. I don't measure very well, but here are approximations. 1 package of Romaine hearts (3 to a bag) 1.5# Roma tomatoes 2# bacon 1 C diced green onions 1 C shredded cheddar jack cheese 3 C (cooked) Ditalini pasta Bottle of...

I'm looking at picking up a wireless thermometer. I really only need it to do the following: - Monitor pit temp - Alarm if goes above or below preset temps Any recommendations on what would work for this? Looking for cheap and basic. I don't need to monitor food temps or anything.

Well, I finally sold the Genesis Silver B that was taking up valuable space on my deck. I bought a Performer last year to replace it, and it joins a One touch Platinum. I reversed the utensil hooks and ash cleaner on the OTP so I could have the two tables next to each other. There's enough...

Ok, I need a basic salsa recipe. Only requirement is that it uses canned tomatoes. Anyone have a recipe that they enjoy? I cook lots of things, but can't make a good salsa and have given up.

Found a 3 pound corned beef point in the freezer from last year, so I decided to smoke it. Was disappointed when I unwrapped it as it was 2 pieces, one 2# and one tiny 1# piece. Soaked it in water for a couple days, and applied the pastrami rub from this site. Put it on the WSM a little bit ago...

I'm going to pick up a bone-in center cut pork loin roast, or something similar, to smoke this weekend. I plan on brining it in a simple brine, applying a light rub of black pepper and garlic, and them smoking at 275. I plan to pull at 145 and put in a 500* oven for 5-8 minutes to brown, per...

My new brick red performer was dropped off yesterday, straight from the Weber store in Palatine. I'm waiting for someone to pick up my gasser to clear some space, hopefully today or tomorrow, and then I'll put it together and take some pics.

I'm selling my gasser and am going to replace it with a Performer. I want to keep my 20# propane tank, as I like to have 2 around for beer brewing and other activities. Anyways, I would like to hook up the 20# tank to the Performer, rather than go with the smaller camping tanks. Do I need an...

I need to prepare some bbq for our annual fantasy football draft in a couple weeks. I want something relatively easy and inexpensive to feed 10 large men. Pork comes to mind, but I'm tired of it to be honest, so I want to do pulled beef sandwiches. What's the best cut for this? Chuck roast, Clod?

I've been looking for a Weber Smokey Joe Platinum to no avail. I currently haul my 22" OTG when I tailgate, etc, but I'm looking for something more portable. I'm wondering if anyone has cut down the legs on a 18" OTS to have something similar to a SJP? Seems that the vent system would be better...

I want to extend the length of some of my stoker temp probes. I know you can use stereo cable to extend them, but I want to extend the run between the probe and the plug - the orange wire. Is there a way to do this by cutting the plug off and soldering some new wire to the 2 pieces? If so...

Has anyone successfully set up their stoker to work wirelessly with a laptop while not utilizing a wireless network? I currently have my stoker set with a static IP of 192.168.0.200 and it connects to a D-Link bridge, which in turn connects to my wireless network at home. I want to be able to...

Hi Mike, Some people have been using the smaller diameter charcoal ring from the 18" wsm in the 22" wsm and reporting better fuel efficiency. Was there any thoughts in making the 22" ring smaller in diameter, and/or taller? Seems like there is a lot of space between the ring and the water...

I'm planning to build a wind screen for my cookers this weekend. I'm going to build a large one that will be able to cover a 22" wsm, 18" wsm, and a 22" kettle. I plan to use this as needed when competing as well as at home. I want to build a simple one like this, but with a cover. Basic...

I've heard that people have trouble running the stoker in cold, sub-freezing temperatures. While I have not had that problem, I am getting ready to do an overnight cook and want to make sure I take whatever precautions are necessary to avoid having to get up and fiddle with the stoker at 3 am...

Has anyone installed a guru or stoker on a kettle? If so, how well does it work? I remember seeing a post about a person that did it on a ranch kettle, but haven't seen anything related to a 22 or 18 kettle. I may have a spare fan and am thinking about mounting it to an old 22 OTS. Just not...
