I've had good luck with tung oil. I sanded off the old crud with a scotch pad, then rubbed in several coats of tung oil. Did this a 4ish years ago, and it is certainly time for a touch up. Kevin H.

yeah, I have 2 (one for lump, one for K). I hate that they're like $14 each...but they do a nice job. Kevin H.

Also, try this website: Doug Care Equipment. I've been using their bags for a little over a year now (someone here on the board recommended them, previously) and they've performed just fine. I will say that the plastic is a little thinner than FoodSaver's and they don't really like boiling...

Please forgo the Electric sharpener and get the Apex--your knives will thank you. As Dann said, there is a little bit of a learning curve--but you really cannot hurt anything (unless you are using the Coarse stone)--if you trash the edge, you just gain more practice in getting the edge back :-)...

To elaborate on George's post: It seems like the Stainless Grates are only available in the 22.5" size. The only source I know of is Weber Customer Service. And the SS grates are great! Kevin H.

add me to the no water...ever list. Kept the WSM around 225 (all night) last night, no worries. Kevin H.

great mod! I may give this a shot on mine...I hate having to find a home for the lid. Kevin H.

Wow, great article. Some pretty interesting comments, too Kevin H.

I'm with you Ron, I don't see the advantage of a more complicated system. Considering I hit the Piezo 2 times--at most--to light the grill; I don't see the 'push button' being much of a 'labor savings' :-) The new button does look 'neat', however Kevin H.

I think it is the length of the hose that amplifies the problem for those of us that use the Q. The 12"-18" hose most 'regular' (and of course, inferior) grills use doesn't hold as much gas (equalizes quicker) than the 4'-6' hose we all use with the Q. As George stated, it is really the tank's...

Amen! Kevin H.

slick!

I too, use Welding Gloves (I like dexterity). Picked out a comfortable pair @ a local supply house. Cost less than $10. Kevin H.

Has the new heat shield...so it can't be the old one Kevin H.

Pat, Same thing happened to me--found out when I sent the wife to Walmart to score some bags to put up six-butts-worth of pulled pork. She came home with the Zip-Loc bags, and we gave them a go. I have been disappointed in the Zip-Loc's. Everything went fine on the front end, but as we are...
