    Want to take the plunge into sausage making...equipment advice

    Paul- I like it...good price point too. So this will grind the meat and stuff into the casings? I know, stupid question, but I have no clue what I'm doing (kind of like when I started doing serious BBQ many years ago)

    Want to take the plunge into sausage making...equipment advice

    You guys rock...thanks for the quick replies! My goal is to start with simple sausage that I can cook/smoke, and then step up to charcuterie...baby steps, baby steps. I hope that I'm on Santa's "nice" list!

    Want to take the plunge into sausage making...equipment advice

    I want to start making sausage and since the Holidays are here, no better way to take the plunge than to ask Santa for some equipment! Do they make combo grinders and stuffers or is it better to get them separately? Any advice on some good equipment that isn't crazy expensive? Thanks for the...

    Ash Fan For Performer, EZ Model

    Ash fan needs to be replaced on my red head performer, EZ model...its the orignal fan so pretty much due to be replaced since its not fluch to the bottom of the bowl and I accidently bent the handle last weekend (don't want to talk about it). Should I just call weber direct or swing by my local...

    Going where many have gone before...still undecided!

    Go for the 22.5. I've had mine for several months now and so glad I did. It's definitely a beast but there most likely be a time when you'll need the extra space.

    First attempt at pulled pork...need some advice

    Mike- If this is your first attempt, one piece of advice I'll pass along is give yourself PLENTY of time so that the butts will be done and to give you some wiggle room if the cook doesn't go as planned. With two 8lb butts, you're looking at anywhere from 12-16 hours depending on cooking...

    How often do you Barbeque?

    Since my work commute is around 1:15 each way, my cooks are relegated to the weekends. I maximize those cooks as much as possible, especially since I bought my WSM last month.

    any tricks to greatly speed up a chimney starter?

    i took the advice from some of the posters here and soak some paper towels with cooking oil...little to no ash and gets the coals going pretty quickly

    Grilling & BEER

    If I'm drinking beer, ice cold High Life in the bottle. I much prefer my cocktails, so it's either 15 year old Pappy Van Winkle or Sailor Jerry.

    Anyone ever regret the 22.5?

    I'm in the same boat...I'm going to have my 22.5 for the long haul, so I went for the big one.
