This is a little trailer that is open thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays. It's at 5850 East Riverside (near riverside and mulford) I had the chance to go there tonight. Sadly - it was less then spectacular. The ribs were untrimmed spare ribs. They had no color. They were tough and chewy. The...

alright, i don't want to bump my last thread because that issue was resolved. however i have a new issue. I can't get the thing to FRICKEN LIGHT. I can light it manually with a lighter, but the ignitor won't ignite it. Ever. On a few occassions, i blew on the burn end of the tube just before...

greetings and salutations i'm wrapping up the restoration of a red stainless performer. I managed to get the propane tank refilled (a whopping $2, WOW) I attempted to test out the gas assist yesterday, but couldn't get it to light. As far as i can tell, there is no propane coming out of the...

a friend of mine found a grill in his barn. Interesting!

did my first meat with my new sous vide controller. after a couple hours at 142 if tossed them on the grill to get some sear. i overcooked it a bit, but it still came out great.

so i broke down and finally bought a sous vide controller. I ordered the one from Auberins. I've been doing poor mans sous vide for a couple years now, zip lock bags and a stock pot on the stove. Controlling the temps has always been a hassle though and I really wanted something I could set and...

I picked up a red stainless performer yesterday, but it needs a little bit of work. the ash pan/ring is no longer attached because the cross bar rusted and is now completely gone. The ash sweepers are toast as well. I'm debating replacing the gas ignition system as it looks pretty rusty...

SOooo, i have a 2009 performer, blue. And tonight i'm picking up an older style stainless performer, red (WOO) Are the bowls mounted the same way? Would it be super easy to swap the red and blue kettles? I think I like the newer style performer better than the old, and having a newer style...

On friday afternoon, a package arrived for me. It contained the new cajun bandit rotisserie ring that will fit weber kettle's AND cajun bandits. It also contained a rib-o-lator. I really wanted to smoke some ribs on saturday with the ribolator in the cajun bandit - but I had a TON of errands...

i'm really falling in love with the real estate on this 26" grill. but I'm not enjoying the 3-daisy wheel vents on the bottom They're hot to touch. Hard to turn (under surface was rusty and had to be completely repainted) And I REALLY dislike little falling embers. I do my cooking on a...

i made two racks of baby backs yesterday for my wife's 'return home' celebration (also made tater cups, corn, pineapple) anyhoo. my family of 5 only ate one rack, so tonight was leftover night. I pulled the bones out (they came right out) broke off a slab of meat about the size of a slice of...

It's getting close! What i've done: - leg sockets were smooshed into bowl and out of alignment, so i hammered them back into place from the inside of the bowl. This sucked, and knocked off even MORE porcelain finish - bent side handle back into semi straightness. When i got it, one handle was...

i remember seeing a video, or maybe just reading an article about trimming chicken legs so there's no grizzle or tough nasty stuff. I make a lot of thighs and legs, and i'd really like to start trimming the legs up so they're easier (and more friendly as a finger food) unfortunately i can't...

i don't know how this happened, but the BOWL of my performer has a quarter sized chip of porcelain missing I was just outside lighting some charcoal and I noticed speckles of blue on the deck. Upon inspection, it was from my grill. The grill is just over a year old.

I've been using a blendtec at work to make dessert smoothies and shakes for a year or two now and i absolutely LOVE it. Lately though, i realized i can make healthy smoothies (without ice cream or frozen yogurt). I've been eating healthier smoothies for breakfast and an afternoon snack. They're...

I really want to use craycort cast iron grates in the 26er that i'm fixing up. Unfortunately, they're too big and won't go all the way down to the standoffs. My wife has an art journal for sale - and she agreed to let me buy the grates as soon as it sells! I thought about replacing the...

I smoked a couple butts friday night. i used 5 chunks of cherry (really dark wood too) and a big chunk of hickory. The total cook time was 16 hours. The smoke ring came out like i had never seen. It was so well defined. Was this a fluke?

Friday morning I stopped by a couple garage sales while running some errands. I stopped trying to find vintage linens for my wife's art, or weird dolls for MY art. Well instead I found a 22" brownie. It's a J code with the one touch system (which is totally rusted out) The handles were in...

I want to remove some wooden handles on a couple old grills. They're held on with two metal rivets. (i THINK they're rivets anyway) The top of the rivet is perfectly flat, i'm scared to attempt drilling - don't want to mess up the wood.

I acquired a sweet vintage 26" weber, but the grates are SUPER rusty and I really don't want to attempt cleaning them up. Rather than getting a replacement from weber, i'd like to put some cast iron grates in it. I realize the the old ones had a smaller diameter grate though, so is it safe to...
