Ok.. for those of you in the Boston area, you know about our roast beef sammies. Warmed thinly sliced beef piled high on a large onion roll, with some American cheese and a healthy squirt of this tangy BBQ sauce like nothing in your typical grocery store. Some research has led me to the fact...

ok.. so I think I'm going with the SS flavorizer bars and the PCI grates... I'm also thinking of giving the entire grill a good powerwash cleaning... anything I should know about before taking this on?

Was just @home depot. They had the hollow stainless steel or the porcelain coated cast iron. Same price: $65. The CI seemed better. Both seemed bettr than porcelain coated steel. Thoughts?

thanks Steve.. mine are in much worse shape than that.. I plan on taking the grill apart and giving it a good powerwashing once the weather gets a tad warmer here.

looking at these: the stainless grates would be p/n 7527 while the porcelain are p/n 7526. the stainless flavor bars would be p/n 7537 while the porcelain are p/n 7536.

ok.. my 2002 Silver B needs new grates and flavorizer bars... the porcelain coated are $75 for both, while the stainless are about $150. Can anyone convince me why I should pay an extra $75 for the stainless? Thanks.

thanks guys.. never noticed the "increased capacity" section... yep.. never did anything for 85 before.. although there were like 30 kids (or so it seemed).. the 2 briskets were GONE.. not even crumbs in the pan.. got lots of compliments on it, as the wife concocted some sort of...

ok.. had a party for 85 on Sunday... made 6 pork butts, 2 briskets, and 10lbs of wings... the briskets were a huge hit.. and they're not something I do regularly... I don't believe they were full packer briskets.. even though they were in cryo.. they were thinner, and smaller at about 8 lbs...

Don & Dan, there are a large number of roasters making K-cups now that these are so common, from Green Mtn, to smaller names I've never heard of. Now, is it stale? I dunno, depends on how long it sits ground before it's packed in the airtight k-cups. as for the fresh ground, Keurig sells...

we've found that www.shoffee.com is the cheapest place to get the K-cups. We prefer Timothy's coffee. $10 for 24 cup boxes.

http://www.barbecure.org/ I saw this advertised and thought I'd share with you all. I'm not affiliated in any way.

ahh.. thanks.. did a topic search, but didn't even think of the FAQ..

I have an older 18" WSM (DD) with a top vent that is very difficult to turn.. So much so that I need to use a long lever to get the torque to rotate the vent closed to "shut down" the cooker. Any ideas on how to loosen a stuck vent. Thanks. Vin

I've used this... we've found it to our liking... 1 cup ketchup 1/2 apple or cranapple juice 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (more or less to taste) 2 teaspoons dry mustard 2 Tablespoons light brown...
