I used some stainless steel artistic wire and secured the insert to the rest of the grate. Not permanent in case I change my mind for some reason, but allows for me to remove the grate as usual without worrying about the cutout.

Hi All, I just picked up a brand new WSC off Craigslist for $900. So far, I have smoked pork belly, roasted some chickens, and cooked a few pizzas. Everything has turned out great and I love the cooker, with two exceptions. - Removable center of cooking rack. This is a pain and I don't see...

Update - I found a weber regulator online at allpartsgrills for $33 shipped. I got that in yesterday and put it on and problems solved. Can't believe how powerful the flame is now. I must have had a failing regulator for some time.

I have taken the clip off and cleaned everything. I disconnected the regulator hose from the regulator and blew compressed air through that as well. The only thing I can think of is that the regulator isn't providing enough pressure. The Weber part is $47 which is ridiculous. Hoping there is...

My 2010 performer is acting up lately. When I get the flame lit, it makes a whistling noise of sorts and then goes out fairly quickly. It seems as if it isn't getting enough propane. I have a 20# tank attached and tried it with a small disposable tank as well. It happens with both, although it...

Moved to charcoal grill forum as the problem appears to be with the performer itself.

Come on down to Libertyville, it's going to be warm this year

I went to Jacks on Saturday and it was ok. My wife had pork which was somewhat bland. I had a combo of ribs, turkey, and sausage. The ribs were cooked well, but the membrane was very tough and a big turn off. The sausage wasn't good, but the turkey was very good. Sides were average. Would not go...

I almost always cook frozen briskets. Ribs are usually frozen before they hit the store, so I try to buy them still frozen and defrost them before the comp. I have also frozen chicken that I trimmed. Key with all three is that they are in cryovac or vac-sealed. I have cooked frozen butts at home...

I injected ribs at home once and was pleased with the results. I was at a competition last weekend had a set of ribs that were borderline stinky and I injected them. Later, I decided to get new fresh ribs to cook, but didn't have any injection left. So, I will need to try again. I think if you...

I think the idea to call more than one competition in the same state a state championship is ridiculous. But, I understand why the terminology is required (Jack). I would rather it be called a state-sanctioned contest or something, with one competition per year per state given elite Championship...
