I normally stay away from eating out. I'm biased, but most places can't compare to what I cook (Brisket,ribs,steaks) Usually when I do go out with the Wife I'm more turned off by the service than the food.

I had the problem when I first used my 14" of not being be able to get it up to temp (250). I saw how close the water pan set to the charcoal and I figured that had something to do with it. Being on it's just me and the wife, meaning I only use the top grate, I put the water pan on top of the...

Just told the wife about the 14.5. She just rolled her eyes, BUT , she didn't ask why I needed another one. This will come in handy for travelling as a lot have said. When I go to the river for a couple of days, it's just me and this will be perfect.

If you are replacing the leg brackets and vents just take a drill bit a little bigger than the bolt and center the bit on the bolt head and drill.

Your welcome Peter! I had read on here somewhere that someone had cut 1/4" at a 45 degree angle on the outer edge (or what will become the outer edge after the cut) on 2 corners. This allows a little more room. I was going to do it but never got around to it.

I inject pork loin but pork butt not so much. I find the butt with a rub is enough as most people will add a sauce on their BBQ.

I am jealous!

You are right sir! Don't know what the hell I was drinking that night but missed the first page entirely! Nice Job!

Outside of Ribs, I cook more Pork loin than anything in the Pork Dept. Looks great!

sear grate!

Peter, you still looking for one? I might sell mine. Make offer.

We had almost 5 " last week when whatever the tropical storm was called came through here. I pulled the cover off my 18.5 today expecting to see a gray mud pit but Nada! I was surprised that no water had entered.

No problem with the 2 fingers for myself but are you marinating in diluted or straight bourbon?

I see what looks like maybe one leg, but what is holding up the table? Have I missed a previous post?

Tony R, If you must post pics of the cook, I suggest it be you, hands or whatever! You really have everyone at a disadvantage. I saw your pics and I still don't know what you were cooking! I am asking in the spirit of sportsmanship that you do not have your helper in view during throwdowns! LOL!!
