I never thought of the loctite, that is a great idea! It loosens then eventually falls apart. When it fell apart the last time I didn't see anything threaded holding it together it looked more like a press-fit assembly. A dab of loctite over the whole assembly should do the trick. Thanks for...

Hello All, I have had to replace two doors so far on my 22.5 WSM for the same issue. The handle and cam latch assembly loosen up and eventually fall apart. When I spoke with the service rep from Weber she said that this was a rare occurrence so I thought I would bounce it off the online...

I did my 3rd HH brisket cook for the super bowl. One thing I did different this time that resulted in fantastic results was foiling in a disposable aluminum pan at 160 F and adding beef broth to the bottom of the pan, just enough to touch the bottom of the brisket. My cook temp was 350 and I...

I had the same problem on my 22.5 WSM, could not get the temp above 275 regardless of what I tried to increase airflow to the charcoal chamber. The one thing I was most impressed with is no matter how many hot coals you add to the chamber, the smoker maintains between 250 - 275, so it does...

First off, I wanted to thank everyone for the great responses. I am astounded at the level of knowledge and the willingness to share knowledge, Thanks!! Second, I haven't been to the deli in years, and since I work nights their hours of operation do not work well with my schedule until the end...

There is a Polish Deli nearby that makes their own fresh kielbasa and I would like to smoke some this weekend, any suggestions for smoker temp / wood type / meat temperature?

When you talk about the best deal for charcoal out there, I really hit the jackpot over Labor Day Weekend. Lowes was having the 2-20 pound bag sale for $7.97. I ordered 8 units (16 bags) online which came up to $63.76 with $10 off for online pickup orders over $50. This put me out $53.76 for...

Nice looking fattie, I'm going to have to try one soon!!

Try placing 5-6 unlit coals on each side to increase your cook time but keep your heat consistent
