Scott, Thank you...your reply as well as the link to your previous post has exactly the information I am looking for. You mentioned that most of your cooks were 6-7 hours. However, I plan on doing an overnigher, and now I'm concerned about the puck advancement issue. Should we just put enough...

I'm visiting the in-laws this weekend and they've asked me to do the cooking for Saturday (starting Friday night). The only problem is that I will be using my brother-in-law's Bradley smoker. I've never cooked on one of these and would appreciate any info from those that are familiar with it...

I tried a miter saw to cut chunks once and will never do that again. Had piece of wood go flying in two directions with far more velocity than I would have preferred at the time. Added a whole new meaning to 'staining the drawers'. Now I just use a Sawzall...works great

Jeff, I always have trouble picking a favorite BBQ book. I don't think you can't go wrong with 'Smoke and Spice' and like Bryan, the Big-Time Barbecue Cookbook is one of my favorites as well. Also among my favorites is 'Legends of Texas Barbecue'. It has great narrative and discusses the...

Same thing happened to me at my local Ace hardware. Last December, I wanted to purchase a 22 1/2" silver and their price was something like $130. I mentioned that the price sounded high and that their website showed the price at $85. I also asked if it could have been mis-priced as a gold...

Let us know how the mod comes out for you!

...or just use DR, DI or DZ. Serial numbers are just the two letter code stamped on the damper. Here's 's the list.

The one touch system wouldn't fit the SJ silver or gold which is 14.5". The smallest one touch grill Weber makes is an 18" which is what the same size (or close to it anyway) as the SJP.

Bryan... I used your idea for my mod and I will say that it works great. I was kicking myself after seeing J.D.'s but now I don't feel so bad...your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Several people here (including myself) have modified their SJP's for much better air flow. Here is an extensive thread on the subject. Also, check out JD McGee's version of the modification...he used the One Touch system and it looks great. It's a fairly easy modification and improves the...

This sounds more like the problem associated with the Smokey Joe gold or platinum. Are you sure it's a Smokey Joe Silver (vent on bottom) and not a gold or platinum which has vents on the side. The side vents on the gold and platinum sit above the charcoal which limits the air flow.

Paul..it is from the new manual. I bought a new OTS in December and noticed the Limited edition on the cover. Called CS and they weren't even aware the manual had changed... Here's the original thread.

No thermometer in the lid? Here is the new OTS limited. Also, here is a OTG limited edition

I sent this e-mail to them a couple of weeks ago, but have not yet received a response. Last summer I purchased 10 bags of Rancher from Home Depot in Green Bay (a 4 hour drive from where I live) and I am now down to my last bag. I very much like this charcoal, so, in order to purchase more...

Rats...I just opened my last bag for a rib roast on the kettle and I was wondering if I was going to be able to pick up some more this spring. I live in a pretty remote area (3 hours to HD), anyone know if there are on line retailers that stock Rancher? I have done searches, but come up empty...
