I think that's probably what I'll do anyway,

I added a picture from the manual to show what the blazes I'm talking about. It's number 15 and the part that shows it sliding back and forth for auto adjusting.

Hi lads and ladies. I haven't been on the forum for quite sometime and of course I showed up for some assistance. I have a Spirit E-310 that I bought new in 2012 (I seem to remember that the grill is a 2009 model) and after grilling some chops this evening, I noticed the right door was hanging...

Nice job, looks really tasty. Now you have given me an idea. Next month, my wife and I have our 40th and doing a nice rib roast for the whole gang sounds better than going out (we both don't particularly like restaurants too much). Oh, and happy anniversary.

Since there doesn't appear to be a "thanks" button, I will say thanks for that post. I have had my (new in box from HD) Spirit E310 (a 2009 model) since 2011 and other than the fact that the flavourizers are getting a bit weak, it still looks like new. Now I don't fuss over cleaning it, but I do...

Hi Bob, just to let you know that we have whole brisket for $8.95 a kilogram until supplies last at Moncion's YIG on River Road. I work there and bought one to do today (never cooked one before). It will be a fun experiment. BTW, I won't tell you what I paid for it (I'm a butcher) as you would...

Sounds like the regulator tripped and throttled the gas. Weber regulators are very touchy. It should take a full 10 seconds or so to open full, so take your time.

A good rule of thumb for me is cooking poultry to 185. That way little chance of dying from some horrible disease.

There is more waste in a picnic, but the meat is generally leaner. I do like the picnic as a BBQ'd roast (not pulled) and my son and I used to "fight" over the crackling. Picnics are also usually cheaper. You can buy the NY shoulder that has both butt and picnic and have the best of both worlds.

Cool, get "her" dirty.

Yup. Every time I look in the mirror - I laugh.

Cool, I wasn't aware that rcplanebuyer now ships to us up here. With shipping and import fees, I think it's still cheaper than buying the Weber SS flavourizer bars from HD.

First off, I am not now, nor will I ever be in a position to pay close to three grand Canadian (including taxes) to ever buy any grill, charcoal or otherwise. That being said however, I think that there is a certain segment of society that will pony up for something on this price level. I am a...

Ha, I know what you mean. Not to beat this topic to death, but since I reside in Canada, all those nifty-cool gadgets are just not available here and what with shipping, our useless dollar, and duty-taxes, a $70 item will cost over $200 up here. So bricks it will stay.

You will not be disappointed, or at least if you are - you're not out much. I swear by those bricks and as far as I'm concerned, it will cook/smoke/grill/bake with the best of them.
