    Question for those buying fresh birds

    This thread has made my night. lmao

    2 T-birds on a 22 WSM

    I've got 2 going into the 22.5" tomorrow. One on the CajunBandit rotisserie & one on the lower rack. :) In your case, as Dwain suggested, I'd go both on the top rack.

    one chimney or two?

    What size WSM? On my 22.5, I go 1/2 charcoal ring of unlit followed by 1 full chimney of lit on top. Assemble unit and wait for the thick white smoke to clear before adding the turkey. No problem hitting & maintaining temps. When I did the same set-up on my 18.5, I completely over-shot those...

    Clamp or latch to connect charcoal chamber to main body

    Can you give an example of how-so? I've read tons of threads here and don't recall any where that was an issue. For transporting, sure - I can understand. But normal use? Wouldn't be a problem as they're quite stable.

    Current vs Stainless Performer Kettle Size

    Yes they are. Straight forward swap for the bowl, but you might want to update the ash sweep/catcher at the same time.

    Out of round WSM

    I "bear hug" every kettle/WSM I pick up without a second thought.

    What is the best Weber to restore?

    ^^^ What he said. If you brine & rotisserie a chicken, you won't want one any other way. The beer-can-thing was a fad, but if you actually look into it, it's useless.

    How to Deal with Rust

    I wasn't trying to be an @ss, but it reads like I was. :) If you know how cast iron behaves, then you know leaving these grates outside is going to be an on-going battle against rust. I'm not bothered by it and a quick spray/wipe with paper towel is good enough for me. But, others don't feel...

    Painting top frame, high heat or regular paint?

    This... I haven't seen any issues with regular (I use gloss) paint on the entire frame.

    Restored Weber Genesis 1000

    What's the significance of this grill? It's not the restored one, but a donor for parts??? The restored 1000 turned out fantastic! Congrats.

    Genesis Top End Removal?

    $$$$ And they're self tapping so no need for actual threads. A bit newer end panels had studs in the casting so the OP's problem is eliminated. I've also used the tiny screwdriver trick when using my thumb to apply pressure wasn't enough.

    How to Deal with Rust

    If this amount of rust gets you going, you might as well toss the cast iron grates now and pick up some stainless steel ones. Seriously.

    Help picking out a grill to restore

    Easy - the green grill by a long shot! Why does the greenie need now flavorizer bars? It came with SS, so they should be fine. The redhead would only be worth picking up as parts for a better donor. 45 bucks isn't worth it to me. But, my area has a lot of turnover so finding gassers is a...

    1992 Redhead Update

    Thanks for the shout-out Steve. Yes, that handle looks way better than the plastic one. :) Very happy to see the redwood stained up to match the rest of your wooden slats very well. That is one nice red head ya got there. Congrats on one heck of a restore!
