Chris, great review. I love the chamber concept but not so much the price. Glad you're keeping an eye on it. Also, and it may just be me, it is good to see an unbiased review from the website operator. I suspect you have products sent your way in the hope of more favorable treatment, just...

I cooked a rib roast on the charcoal rotisserie over charcoal once I believe, and the WSM prime rib dozens of times. The rotisserie result was not better than the result on the WSM. Not bad, but not better than the WSM. And I agree that the bullet hole dead center is not a plus.

I use a rib rack but I've never cut the racks. I just u-turn the rib into the rack,one rib rack taking two slots. I often cook three racks at a time (sold that way at Costco), and they all fit in my 18.5.

I dump the coals in a bucket so they can be re-used. Then I put the grill in the shed basically right away. I used to wait for the coals to go out, but it takes a long time.

I agree that 6 hours is about right. I have never wrapped in foil. Try to ignore the fact that it looks like the ribs have shrunk down too much. Attaching Meater graphs of two plate rib cooks, one 5 hours and the other 6.

Modest sized rib roast. Jealous Devil briquettes, herb seasoned. Two hours or so. God bless our soldiers departed! :flagkettle: Happy Smoke Day!

You could try putting a piece of PVC pipe through the bent legs to help straighten them. I think I used 3/4" pipe or so.

True. Once we put the bucket in the fridge overnight. Whatever works.

I use a Harbor Freight bucket, 20 gallon I think? I put ice in it and leave it outside overnight. Lowe's has the same size bucket also.

I have a Breville Express, and it's fine. I use it every day for basic coffee, an "Americano" to be exact, which is just a shot or two of espresso with hot water. Sometimes we'll have a couple of lattes and getting the foam right does take some practice. Before that, we had a Cuisinart EM-200...

I got a two pack of these today at Costco @9.99/lb. That is a seriously great price. I am pretty sure I paid $14.99 the last time we had these.

My awesome wife got me a Meater 2 for Christmas, and I am happy with it so far. I cooked a prime rib roast for both Christmas and again on New Year's, and both went well. Yesterday, I put a turkey on the rotisserie. These devices will usually tell you to take whatever you are cooking off prior...

I cook a turkey over a charcoal rotisserie, and usually put water in the pan below. I neglected to fill the water during a recent turkey cook and it caused a pretty major flare-up, crisping the skin too much. After that, I figured I'd try using play sand from Lowe's in the drip pan instead of...

I would hold off on the wood, just charcoal. My wife doesn't like smoke on poultry, she says it makes it bitter. Her taste buds are ever on point, so it's okay by me. I use the rotisserie for turkey now - lump, no wood. The skin is golden like it should be on Norman Rockwell's table. Everything...

I have a Meater and a Meater+, both super finicky in charging and especially connectivity. I do like that I can get temp readings on the Meater app when I am not at home from the phone, but honestly that feature seems to work on every tenth cook at best. Just wildly unreliable. I also have a...
