Chris, if you get fed up, let me know. I will cut your losses and take that Q200 off of your hands. Football season is coming up and my tailgate grill now lives at my daughters house in Auburn. I could use a replacement. Pat

That's interesting about the side tables as well. Mine will easily support a platter with a couple of t-bones - maybe 5 pounds total. My Q220 and my Char Q each are about 3 years old. I wonder if Weber has changed the thickness of the plastic on the tables? I am crazy about all of my Webers -...

He could be a bit cranky and I know he and Chris got cross-ways, but I sure do miss Larry's post on this site and I'll be danged if is rubs recipes that I got from him when he was outfitting his van aren't the best I've tried. I think I'll mix up a big batch of Wolfe Rub Bold in his honor! Pat

Grill Brushes can shed!

That is a reverse sear and it works like a charm. You can even sear on your gasser after slow cooking the steaks on the WSM, but if you cook them to 170, then they're ruined anyway - in my humble opinion. That is WAY WAY WAY past even a well-done steak. Take the thick cut steaks to about 110 on...

Mike - there was a discussion (and some 'cussin) about this on the RO Facebook page. According to RO, the decision to go to 8.8 lb bags was based on 8.8 lb bags being the industry standard. The RO rep stated that it was the retailer who set the retail price, so basically, they passed the...

There are a lot of really good food safety folks on the board, so I will defer to them, but I've always understood that if you bring the brine to a boil to kill any bacteria, then you can use it in the cooking process. How about just separating some of your brine before you dunk the bird and...

Really Nice one George! Congratulations! Pat

what is your local Craigslist like when it comes to used Weber gassers? I've seen Genesis Silver B's here for as little as $50. That would seem a good way to go! Pat

Excellent! I love the "wind screen!" Pat

YES. My Q320 came used and the grates had been ignored and were terribly rusted after only a year. I bought new grates from Weber and I have religiously sprayed the grates or wiped them down with once used canola oil after each use and they are holding up quite nicely. I think if you will get...

I put a small grill grate on top of the TC saucer and put the chimney on top of that. Seems to get better air flow under the starter and into the charcoal. I set mine on cement. Might get a little nervous having sparks from lump charcoal flying from the chimney that close to a wooden...

Jon, there actually is a vendor down in these parts that is selling an Alabama white sauce with wasabi. I saw it a couple of weeks ago, but haven't tried it yet. I've heard it is very good, as yours obviously was! Pat

George, you can line them all up - like a little "Go Anywhere" trailer park! Pat

In my experience with the Q220, it's not going to get up to pizza cooking temperatures (at least not to the 550 degrees at which I like to cook pizzas on my ceramic cooker). You might try cooking the pizza until the toppings are almost done then sliding the trivet off and finishing the pizza...
