    Lodge Frying Pan

    The lodge flat skillet L9OG3 fits in a Q120/1200 with the handle sneaking out the end. Great for smash burgers

    Interesting News On The Lodge Sportsman

    I'm going to guess they will porcelain coat the main body parts (at least the outside) and maybe make the grilling height more adjustable. These are fun to play with. I occasionally use mine next to my firepit and shovel hot coals from the pit to the lodge for making fireside snacks.

    Weber says something big is coming

    Looks like something Sunbeam would make...or Coleman. Not feeling it.

    Giving up your gasser?

    When the frame on my Genesis silver C rotted out I never replaced it. I do like having the Q100 for quickies. I rely now on my kettles and new PK360. If I were ever to get another gasser, I'd get the larger Q on a stand.

    Partial Review on PK360 - Low & Slow Pork Butt

    Funny you mention that. It just showed up as a spam ad on YouTube today. Seems a little gimmicky, kind of a charcoal pellet smoker that requires you to buy dedicated charcoal bits. Like a pellet grill, a Masterbuilt, even gassers to some extent, I don't "like" grilling over a drip pan that...

    Partial Review on PK360 - Low & Slow Pork Butt

    I have a "few" Weber kettles which I love. I no longer have a full size Weber gasser and I don't miss it due to my Q100 being so great. I've been looking for something new. Thought about the Weber Smokefire but I'll pass on the pellet craze. Komados are cool but too bulky. I have a Smokey...

    Partial Review on PK360 - Low & Slow Pork Butt

    Just curious, what charcoal basket are you using? Looks adjustable. I'm interested in a PK360 as they are $100 off right now with a grill cover. Good to know low and slow tips.

    Stir fry on the Blackstone

    I'm looking at a flat top grill now. I like the Camp Chef models but I do wish they made a table top version of their bigger units without legs. I ditched my old genesis with the rusted frame and now rely on my charcoal weber kettles, WSM and my Q. Not considering a pellet cooker. I'm...

    New Q1200 enameled two piece grate. Improvement or?

    Saw some aftermarket ones on Amazon for half the price of Weber. Are they decent quality? I also just discovered that my Lodge 10.5 in. dia. round skillet fits under the lid closed with the handle sticking out the side vent. Might try that for some burgers...

    New Q1200 enameled two piece grate. Improvement or?

    I have an older Q100. I'd like to get the right side griddle accessory. It sounds like it can sit on top of my original 1 piece grill grate but the lid may not close well. I also see that Weber offers a split grill grate option that I think will fit the Q100. Can I use the left side grill...

    I'm passing on SmokeFire for now

    From everything I've read they should issue a stop sale and stop manufacturing before the losses really mount.

    New Weber pellet grills for 2020

    I've read elsewhere that a mat is highly recommended under these if used on a deck. Not sure why embers are getting out though

    New Weber pellet grills for 2020

    I'd be curious how the Ex4 compares to the Ex6 in terms of consistent temperatures across the grill.

    New Weber pellet grills for 2020

    So the slow drip of information continues. At least now some folks are trying them out and reviews will come in. Bummer about the app but not surprised. Any word on any accessories such as front and side tables etc.?

    New Weber pellet grills for 2020

    There was a post on Instagram yesterday by Weber that hints at a new release at the CES show next Tuesday. It referenced "Introducing the Smart Backyard". I suspect this is tied into the release of the smart controller of the SmokeFire. webergrills You have a smart home, now it's time to...
