    Weber Style Knives

    Gary, they look a lot like Globals. As far as a special sharpener is concerned your knife guy was referring to the fact that German or "Western" blades have a different blade angle than Japanese knives. Chef's Choice makes a sharpner that can handle both angles. The knives that I think are a cut...

    kettle rotisserie

    Hi Brad, I actually have two separate units, the Weber Roti and the Cajun (C&C Grilling)Roti. I've been using Cajun unit over the Weber 22-1/2 OTG.

    kettle rotisserie

    Copy that, Steve. I have both the Weber and the Cajun Bandit rotis and I really like the fit from the Cajun Bandit. Their rig comes with a motor that can be powered by either battery or AC. I ran the battery with some roti chicken with Shaslick (Moroccan pesto) last week and it could not have...

    Weber Style Knives

    Gripe away, we're on the same page. I'd hazard a guess that in this kind of economy Weber is looking at every possible revenue stream to wade in. If someone overseas or around the block makes them an offer to license a product, do the tooling and packaging, and take most of the risks, and fit...

    kettle rotisserie

    George, I got mine from Amazon three weeks ago. Someone is shipping them. But some how I don't get the impression that it's from Weber's cental casting.

    Weber Style Knives

    Ummm. How do you know that they are making them stateside? Me thinks they're farmed out as an after item market, just like the kettle roti. There may be a blade producer who made them a deal for their logo. Look at how many Food TV personalities are hawking their own hardware. Think they have...

    Rotisserie on the way...

    There is an air gap between the collar of the fit of the rotisserie and the Weber kettle that spikes the temperature. More oxygen on fuel, the hotter and faster it burns. I tested the temps using Maverick remote and a Trend thermometer with the same amount of charcoal on my two Weber 22-1/2 and...

    Rotisserie on the way...

    Wish I had seen the Cajun Bandit before my Weber version came in the door. This seems to be an obvious design flaw on Weber's end. Weber lids fit over the kettle much like a lid on a latte at Starbucks. This collar rests partially on and in it. It does definitely burn hotter than a typical Weber...
