    Weber Genisis Lid up or lid down

    For the last 30+ years I've always cooked with the hood up. Recently, with the purchase of my Genny, I've been cooking/smoking with the hood down. Even with the simple hamburger, I'd sear both sides (hood up) the cook it with indirect heat (hood down) for the remainder until done. Received...

    Morning John, Are you looking for suggestions as what to cook? Are you looking for suggestions of cookbooks, (Weber's Big Book of Grilling and Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling) or a replacement grill that your son will be permanently borrowing? Be well, elliot

    Which Grate?
