Did BB's and Spares side by side on Performer (and a few in the oven as a test). Cut them all in half for serving and quicker cooking. 2 hours at 275-300 w/hickory chunks 1 hour foiled w/ apple juice 45 min unfoiled and mopped at 275-300. Both sets are great, the oven batch tastes like...

Performer from C&B came in yesterday. $306 delivered (delivery was $27, arrived in 2 days). Put it together in an hour...ready for a gameday cook this AM. Life is good.

Any ideas on the best place to nab a new Performer? I'm really desperate for one and the best I see is $300 delivered for the C&B green one (I am fine with the color). Anyone see anything better? Would you hold out for the possibility of the Platinum 22 with the built in therm and side tables?

When using a little smoke wood on a kettle, do you guys notice a little of the smoke leaking out of the sides of the weber? It's not a ton, and there s still some coming out of the top vent, but wanted to see if this was common, or if lid was out of round.

Will the meat continue to bark/darken while foiled?

That's probably it...I think it is the garlic powder that is clumping at the bottom.

Is anyone else having trouble dissolving the dry ingredients in the marinade?

If you can find a Platinum, it will hold a 225 grate for 6+ hours with little to no tending, using Minion. I was really impressed. And at 18.5 inches, it's big enough for more food, and small enough to take with you.

I used a chimney of lump to sear (6) 1.5 inch ribeyes. Temp was 600+ for as long as I needed it, which isn't long at that high heat (for medium-rare to medium)

New to the board, and just scored a SJP last week. Tried to get parts and accessories for the mods that have been discussed here, in time for my trip to the beach. Couldn't pull it off, but brought the grill with us anyway. Even without the mods (which I intend to still pursue), my experience...

Hey guys, I'm new but have been "listening" to the conversation for a while. Just found a SJP at a rural Ace Hardware and drove 20 miles to pick it up (their last one). Will definitely want to duplicate the JD mod. Is the unibit a must? Would love to not buy a $30 bit if possible.
