Thanks for the responses, Darryl and Timothy !!! I forgot how great the WSM Crowd is, here on Chris's platform !!! Yeah...did all the things for my old WSM...just got tired of fighting it, on its temp control !!! Life's too short !!! May try to sell it...looks like it's now considered an...

Well, I just keep coming back, every now and then !!! Thanks, Chris ! ...for keeping this all here !!! 👍 ❤️ ...an excerpt from my last post, in Aug 2020 !!! :eek: "I've been scarce around on the board... The WSM has been relegated to the shed for YEARS !!!...Decided to pull it out and dust...

Well, I was wondering the exact same question, when I got my WSM !!! I was looking to go cheap, cause I don't grill that much... :) I have a 3 pack of these from Harbor Freight, for quick moving stuff around : Welding Gloves ....and a set of these, also for quick moving food...

Kevin, I've been scarce around on the board... The WSM has been relegated to the shed for YEARS !!!...Decided to pull it out and dust it off !!! I have a hankering for ribs, but I never had much success in keeping the temps down, in my WSM...too much air ??? Even had Bryan S. come to my...

Been ANOTHER LONG time since I was here !!! :o Anyway....the Work Sharp Ken Onion is CRAZY cool !!! Wife tried to cut off her finger, even after I warned her about the knives I sharpened...no stitches required, though... :rolleyes: Love it !!! Highly recommended !!! Dean...

Had a lot of stuff interfere with my first trial with the Ken Onion...so STILL haven't tried it !!! Sorry... My bad...just want to be sure it has my undivided attention ! :mad: Will report back with my early attempts with my old, dull clever...my selection for my first attempt !!! Dean...

All, GEEZ !!! Been over a year since I last posted ??? Oh well...haven't been grilling much at all... :( Anyway...I love a good sharp knife...but I'm NOT a sharpening nerd, and I don't own any expensive knives...just want the ones I DO have to be sharp !!! My Brother gave me a Gatco...

Will do, Len ! Thanks for the advice ! Bread-baking is WAY in the future for me, so silicon will probably serve me well for now ! I'm just talking fried chicken, chili, and baked beans for now ! :) Dean...

No problem, Matt ! I got a nice pair of welder-type gloves with the cast iron set...I also picked up a 3-pack of welder's gloves, and a "heat-resistant" pair of rubber gloves from Harbor Freight, for cheap...I use those on the WSM and grills, for moving meat around...the rubber ones don't bog...

Clint, LOL ! That's EXACTLY what I know is going to happen to me... I like the idea of a silicon mitt...Bed Bath and Beyond has a selection of stuff. My cloth pot holders are pretty raggedy-looking, but I'll keep a few next to the range, as a "reminder", until I buy something else. Thanks...

Hello, All ! Been a long time since I've been lurking about here...glad to see Chris hasn't deleted me from the user database ! :) I've always wanted to try cooking with cast iron...found a 5-piece set (plus gloves and lid hook !) on sale at Cabela's for $87, so I picked it up. I would've...

Ok...so the Wife and I were enjoying a "Bloody Mary" made with V-8 "Spicy" tonight...it occurred to me that this MIGHT make an interesting "tomato" base for a Q' sauce...a quick search on "V-8" had no hits here on the Board... Anyone have a recipe that uses V-8 juice ??? D Larsen

Old Bay is my "secret ingredient" in my boiled peanuts, down here in Lower Alabama !!! :) Never tried it in a rub, though... D Larsen

I bought the Stok Quattro gasser in 6/2011, before Home Depot ended their "experiment" with them ! I've been pleased with the grill... Although it looks like crap now, that doesn't bother me...all my grills look like crap, because they sit out in the FL sun ! :) The gasser came with the...
