Welcome! You have come to the right place, the home of all things WSM. People are finding the notch more convenient than the grommet. Just slide the wires into the slot. Chad Bman's post #12 is the best pic I have seen. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?37566-Cutting-Notch-in-18-5-WSM/page2 There...

According to these links the Wounded Warriors financial management at the national level is lacking. It was suggested that money be donated locally. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/12/08/wounded-warriors-project-a-legal-scam/...

Perhaps we can honor the memory of fallen soldiers by making life a little better for the soldiers and family members who are with us. I was thinking of a financial donation to the Disabled Veterans of America until I read this...

Your crimson is beautiful! I started with 80/20 hamburgers. Figured if I messed them up it wouldn't be a big loss. There is one accessory that will take it to the next level ... a rotisserie. The Cajun Bandit stainless would look awesome with the crimsom. ~ CB roti fangirl

How much ash in comparison to other brands, such as KBB? Thank you.

Paul Kirk's opinion on the "Texas Crutch". (Read it with a smile) http://www.baron-of-bbq.com/Texas%20Crutch.htm http://www.esquire.com/blogs/food-for-men/bbq-ribs-tin-foil-021711 FWIW, I can taste the difference. It is not to the extent of crock pot vs. foil but there is a difference in...

Mine arrived yesterday. It looks brand new. The folding probe is tight and it is functioning perfectly. Received an email this morning that the sale will end soon. If anyone wants a non-backlit Thermapen they are still available in 9 colors...

Welcome Matt! Here is some info on lid holders. You'll find a wealth of information at the virtualweberbullet.com. All compliments of Chris Allingham, the site owner and moderator. http://virtualweberbullet.com/lidholders.html http://virtualweberbullet.com/

I get 2 types of oak and pecan from my property. Ask friends and relatives for limbs that have fallen on their property especially after a storm. Ask professional tree trimmers and individuals. Give them a flyer with the types of wood. Include your name and telephone number. Local individuals...

Welcome. The Ivation appears to be a Maverick ET-732 with a different brand name. Remington has done the same. Your new WSM may have the grommet hole (gray plug) that solves the problem some people were having. Look at the signatures. Lots of people here are using the Maverick with no problems...

The site link to Amazon is always a good place to start. Also, look at Ace Hardware, Lowe's and Home Depot. A few more: http://www.penzeys.com/ http://www.worldspice.com/ http://weber.com/ http://www.bbqequipmentstore.com https://www.bigpoppasmokers.com/...

Wish I could use the bin on the Performer but the charcoal absorbs too much moisture. A kitchen towel left on the table will be damp to the touch. The bag of Stubbs that I am using is kept in the pantry. There is a 3 cup scoop inside the bag. Two more bags are stored in the laundry room or the...

The amount of smoke is trial and error based on your preferred taste. I don't like a lot of smoke. When people use 4-5 baseball size chunks I use 1 1/2 or 2 depending on the type of wood. Most fruit woods are mild. Post oak, then live oak are in the middle. Red oak is stronger than post or live...

Do a site search for rotisserie. You'll find info on cooking with a roti and comments on which is preferred. Many favor the CB due to build quality, outstanding customer service, as well as supporting a company that meets a need Weber ignores. If finances are a primary consideration and you...
