Just installed StokerLog 6.7 on Windows 7 64 bit, first time installing since building this machine a few months ago. I didn't change any of the default directories during install and everything went fine.

I thought I read on here somewhere that there were stainless steel cooking grates available that would fit the WSM. But I've searched high and low and can't find any specific reference. There are some hinged 18-1/2" stainless steel cooking grates offered on the Weber online store -- will those...

Hi Amir I ran an all-night cook last night and had my laptop on the nightstand next to my bed to keep an eye on things. Zero problems with StokerLog, but... Windows Update came along at 3am and decided it was time to install an update and force a reboot of my computer. Fortunately, I heard...

Still $2.99 in Kansas City! I'm sure the inventory at some of the stores isn't completely accurate, plus it's already several days old. Definitely call ahead before burning any gas to go get some!

I started a similar thread at about the same time, I guess: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9130026584/m/8920069015 The list is on my website, in a PDF file. See the other thread.

Thinking I'd like to cook a fresh ham BRT (boned, rolled and tied) but have no idea where I might locate one in the Kansas City area. I have a friend who runs a BBQ joint about 100 miles away, so I could *probably* get one from him if I wanted to make the drive. But hopefully I can find one (or...

I knew there was a reason my in-law's live in St. Louis and I live in Kansas City (besides the obvious, that is)... Had my mother-in-law pick up 15 bags of Rancher for me at $2.99 from the Home Depot in Town & Country. The only down side is that now I have to go over to St. Louis and get...

I called a local Home Depot in the Kansas City area and asked them to look up the SKU 990-347 to see if any stores had it in stock. I was told that that SKU is currently inactive, meaning *no* stores in this region have the product. Have sent a followup email to the folks at...

I've got a Stoker and absolutely love it. I'm not that experienced at running the WSM, having had persistent trouble with temperature control. For the most part, that's a non-issue now that the Stoker is on the job. I can run an all-night cook now without having to wake up every hour or two to...

Thanks for the reply, Kevin - I like your reasoning: Doesn't matter if the meat is safe to eat or not - it still smells and tastes "off" so why would I take a chance on serving it. I called Sam's Club this morning and it'll be no problem getting a refund. I talked to the manager of the meat...

I've been cooking pork butts for an upcoming Cub Scout picnic for the last 24 hours, 2 batches of 4 butts each. I'm not sur,e but it seems to me that there's something wrong with the meat -- it has a strong, mildly "off" smell to it; not what I"d call truly "rancid" but very unpleasant just...

Thanks for the reply! Definitely something to think about -- this will be the only meat course available at the picnic, though each family is supposed to bring a side dish. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div...

I don't have access to anything but my WSM. So it'll be a series of cooks to get all the butts done. Fortunately pork butt freezes pretty well so I can spread the cooking sessions out over several days. As to the Saran wrap, I first read about it on the Virtual Weber Bullet web site...
