I have to second the warranty. I received some as a wedding present 10 years ago and the handles cracked on two knives. I sent pictures to Henckle customer service and they said to send the in. I received replacements in a few weeks.

I have one of those propane weed burners that I use to light my charcoal. I use it to burn off all the gunk on the grates. Works well.

I did a search, but didn't find an exact answer to my question. Last weekend my wife and I cooked in a competition. My ribs took 3rd, but they were a little tough in some spots. If I can explain this, there is a flap of meat over the fat on a rack of spares. It is meat, fat, meat bone, if that...

It is a pipe thread. I picked up a brass reducer and a stainless steel washer and it was a good tight fit. All this stuff was over in the plumbing section at Ace.

Thanks for the info. I mounted my Thermo under the top rack. It is sweet. I can see it from a mile away. I am putting it to use this morning with some ribs.

Guys I almost forgot. Where did you put your thermo? in the lid or right below the top rack? I am leaning toward under the rack......

Thanks for the advise. I ended up going with a pipe thread brass reducer that I found. It was a clearance item so I figured it was worth the $1 I paid for it. Now to see how the Ashcroft works this weekend! SA

I purchased an Ashcroft 3" thermometer last year that I want to mount on my WSM. I am having trouble finding a nut with the pipe thread that I need that isn't galvanized. I heard that you shouldn't use a galvanized nut inside the smoker. Is that correct? I would rather not, can anyone point me...

I got this recipe out of Cee Dub's Dutch Oven and Camp Cooking Book. 2 cups Flour 1 T Salt 2 T Sugar 1 T vinegar mix in some water to a creamy consistency. My only question is that when I let it sit an proof for a week do I cover it or not? It didn't state in the book. I am under the...

I lost my bbq beans recipe and was hoping someone could help. I thought I found it on this site, but I have searched and didn't find it. The main ingredients are: Pork and Beans Ground beef Ground Sausage Bacon BBQ sauce Chopped onions If anyone could point me in the direction of this recipe I...

I've been commissioned to smoke a turkey.

Yep, in between Tacoma and Puyallup. It said clearance on it. So I would guess until they are gone. I didn't ask how many they had. Do you know if Weber is changing something on the WSM?

I was over at McLendons Hardware on 112th and Canyon in the Summit area and they have WSM's for $150 on clearance. Just an FYI. I've already have too large a collection according to my wife!! Shane

We have a FD here in Tacoma. When it first opened I was just starting to BBQ at home. I thought it would be cool to see how the big guys do it. I asked if I could see the smoker and talk to the pitmaster. The manager said that they get all of the meat pre smoked and heat it up onsite, in a smoker.
