We've been making these about 20 years now and have never served them to friends who did not ask for the recipe (it's the smoker)! Best Ever Baked Beans Recipe from “Cook’n Cajun Water Smoker Cookbook” by Sondra Hester. Serves 8 to 10 4 to 5 lbs. canned pork and beans 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2...

We got one about three years ago, Lynn, when they came out with a "vertical" model that I could keep on the counter. I knew we'd never use it if we had to haul it out every time we wanted to use it. Wish I'd have gotten it years before (Model No. V3425), as we use it all the time. We got several...

It would make a very nice wedding gift!

I was surprised recently to read here how many people use and recommend the smaller WSMs. We have had two 22s for many years now even though it's just the two of us. But I am still surprised that Weber is discontinuing the 22. On a related note, Brian was recently shocked when I told him how...

Very happy for you both!

Belated birthday wishes, Bob. Brian is in the runup to 72 which he'll be in June. Where did the time go anyway?

I'm not sure how to post a picture here, but there's a bottom and a top of a 26-inch Weber Grill on Rue Nadine in Algiers in an ad saying "Free 26" Weber kettle on curb." I snagged a copy of the grill photo he posted, but am not sure how to post it here. This grill has NO LEGS and appears to be...

Rich and Barb, I just read this and wanted you to know you're in my prayers. All is not lost, trust me. Brian is entering his 19th year of dealing with prostate cancer. We caught it very early -- I got him in a test group at LSU when they were seeking men between 40 and 50 with prostate cancer...

Thanks for the prompt reply, Bruce. And it's now $18 I'd have to have laying around! I had a hard time getting Chris's link to the Smoke to work as I want to go through here so I can support this site. I finally got it to take me there but now the site is taking forever to respond to my clicks...

Thanks. You must've remembered you always were one of my favorite posters, Bob!

I'm going to order my Smoke in the very near future. Just wondered if I should order an additional meat probe, as I've seen people complain in the past about the bend in a probe. I was thinking of getting a High Temp Straight Penetration Probe, as I think it would be useful to us in the oven as...

It' will be my pleasure to use that link when ordering it, Chris. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure I will have questions or seek advice once we start using it and it's so nice to know this is a land of so many people willing to help others out. Appreciate the posts from both you Lews -- just...

I came here to see if the recipe I posted from Cook's Illustrated for wings grilled using a two-level fire (using two levels of hot coals) was still here as a friend wanted it and ended up reading this thread again. Had to laugh as looking back at the method we still use to grill chicken wings...

Hello people! I used to come here regularly several years ago (some of you are still here!) but not so much over the past couple of years. Both my husband Brian and I had/have health problems and physical limitations and using his two 22-inch smokers has become somewhat difficult. Brian uses a...

I hunted for this recipe today, Jane, after reading about it in the Doug's Smoked Mushroom Dip thread. Sounds delicious. My husband is not a potato fan but loves cream sauces, Dijon mustard and fresh dill which we have growing outside in a pot though it's trying to poop out in this heat...
