Has anyone used this Japanese charcoal? there is an article in the Chicago Sun Times paper about the use of this charcoal. I do agree with his comment: Briquettes, on the other hand, are "noxious nuggets that contain ... anthracite coal, borax, sodium nitrate," Also the resturant SushiSamba, it...

You think she is a pig now wait till winter.

Jamie, you will have temperature differances in the kettle hotter near the fire and at the top of the lid. If you can regulate 280 deg +/- 25 deg on the lid themometer that will be perfect for most smokes. You said you have a 22" WSM on the radar. Since I got my 26 incher I have not used my 22"...

Go with the 26 incher. If you prefer to indirect or smoke low and slow the 26 will give you more room with better control. A performer is just an other 22 incher with a table.

You are going love that 26 incher, your WSM won't see as much use any more. Get a couple of fire bricks and you can smoke all day long.

I have a old blue weber new in the box, contacted Weber and they didn't care anything about it. I would have loved to trade for a 26 inch. good luck

I have been to Smoque countless times, I think it very good also. There is a line out the door everytime I go there, but worth waiting for. Smoque has been featured on Triple"D"

Darrell you will have no regrets. You realy wanted a 26 incher anyway. I love my 26 incher so much more room when indirect cooking. And the best thing is you can smoke with her.

I'm with you Darrell I like to bathe any sausage before grilling. I use water, beer, onions and 6 whole cloves of garlic, bring to a hard boil add sausage and turn off the heat add sausage cover and set for 20 minutes remove sausage and let cool, refrigerate at least 5 hours or over night. I...

Ron, you are going to love that 26 incher. I use fire bricks instead of the charcoal baskets for indirect and smoking. My brother borrowed my 22" WSM four months ago and I don't miss it at all.

Michael, Nice grill! also check the three bottom vents for a date stamp. I have a grill with "A" (1979) and has the metal kettle handles and one wood lid handle. Here is assembly instruction for my "A" kettle and list the 26 in other colors also. This parts list came with my kettle but did not...

Nice! Bigger is better.

Weber made the 26 back in the late 60's. Is there a name of the city it was made on the vent? Is it a one touch or does it have 3 vents on the bottom? My brother has one from 1993 (it's wore out)and Weber stopped making the 26 for years and last year they came out with the 26 OTG. I bought one...

Never had a problem with overheating but sometimes the rain cools of my grill here's what I do. I was smoke'n some ribs on the 26 OTG as soon as the umbrella went up the rain stopped.

Ron, If there was a 26 performer I would be all over it. Got a 22 WSM and only use it for large cooks, like last saturday two 9 lb butts 10 1/2 lb and two pork tenderloins. Hey Ron any temp difference between Lynn Haven and Shokpee? What a lousy winter for snow birds.
