    Rescued an old WSM

    Jen, The Home Depots in south Florida carry all of the grates for the Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers, so you might try them. Just after Christmas I bought an old 18.5" WSM. I used one of the purple degreasers and gave it a good cleaning. It really did a good job. It had some rust...

    Mavrick 732 return?

    Matt, I like your explanation. 40 to 50 hours sounds a lot longer than 4 to 5 smokes!

    Mavrick 732 return?

    Did I read that correct? You only 4 to 5 smokes from a set of batteries in the ET-732? Why does it use so much power?

    How long have you gone without cleaning?

    I don't clean the middle section but I do clean the lid so that I don't have ash and debris falling onto my barbeque.

    Fixed door handle - replaced with compression latch

    Lowes Kingsford 2 20lb bags $9.99

    I checked Home Depot's online Memorial Day ad this morning and I didn't see any charcoal at all. The Lowe's ad showed the 2 20 lb. bags of Kinsford for $9.99 so out I went. The cashier at Lowes said that she hadn't been informed of a limit of two two-bundles per customer so I bought ten 2 bag...

    anyone ever have thier thermometer break on a wsm

    When my Weber was still new I had a one time problem with the needle sticking. It was no bid deal and I loosened it with a light tap to the thermometer housing. I called Weber just to ask them if this was normal. The next thing I knew their Customer Service representative told me that they...

    Tequila Lime Cornish Hens

    I was curious as to how long those of you who have made this recipe let the chicken marinate? Is it a relatively short amount of time (i.e., a few hours) due to all of the citric acid? Bill
