I'm still around but a lot has happened in my life over the past 2 years. My wife of 31 years passed away, I had a stroke, Was forced to retire and last summer I had a Trans-Metatarsal Amputation of my right foot. I don't get the opportunity to do much outdoor cooking anymore but I hope to get...

What gets me is the cheapness of some of the material. I bought a Kenmore Elite DW about 11 years ago and I have had to replace the cheap plastic wheel assembly on all four of the rack wheels that allow the racks to slide in and out. Luckily I found replacements on line that are made of steel so...

I remember you Steve. Got lots of good information from you.

I registered to this awesome forum when I was a newbie to outdoor cooking back around the 2007-2008. At the time we had a lot of very experienced members and I really learned a lot from them. Just wondering who is still around from lets say 2012 or before.

My thoughts exactly! Also, the low usage of the grill does not mean the burners are unlikely to be clogged. Its a favorite spot for spiders and insects to hide out in and clog up.

Excellent explanation. Exactly what I would have said.

The problem I see with doing a burn test is you would be comparing "New" KBB to "aged" KBB. The goal might be to see what is the difference between how well today's Kingsford buns as compared to how well kingsford of 1980 burned. the problem is to be fair you would need to age Kingsford made in...

Many years ago when Cajun Bandit was a brand new company I was one of the first to purchase the original Weber kettle Conversion kit (with the door) so I could turn my kettle into a smoker. Since then I have also purchased other items such as their stainless steel WSM replacement door and their...

At least 10 years ago I saw a one-time show about the history or BBQ on cable TV. I think it was either the History Channel or the Learning Channel. If memory serves correctly it was 1 hour long and had experts in the history of BBQ talk about BBQ past and present. It discussed how George...

Outstanding Cliff. Grill Grates do a fine job on Steaks

I purchased my PK Grill Classic in Graphite about 6 weeks ago. I LOVE IT! I also purchased Grill Grates for it so when I do SCA comps I can get the grill marks the judges like.

I purchased that and am very happy with it. Like many tools/accessories it is not necessary but I am glad I have it. Saves on foil or if you choose you can foil it and then that makes for easy clean up. I do believe it also helps direct the air draft towards the slow n sear making for a better...

Where is Bernal Heights? Any where near us Mike?

A couple of pins will release the lid but Im not sure that will make a whole lot of difference. I think two decently strong bodys can move it. it will be slow going but worth it in my opinion. of course, remove the tank if included.

He used to, and may still use a Jedmaster rotisserie cooker.
