    Simple Modification Help

    Are you asking how to fill the pan on the inital set up without a hose, or how to refill a pan during a cook? I'd simpley bring a few gallon water jugs with me, fill the pan during the initial assembly by pouring the water directly into the pan before adding the grates. During a cook you'll...

    Just made my best ribs so far, I brined them

    I found the cook time very interesting as well. I just did 4 racks of baby backs in my 22.5" wsm and I've never seen them done any sooner than 4 hours at 275 degrees.. I foil with a 2-1-1 mehtod. I am surprised that 3 racks of full spares were done in less time (?). Any other folks ever brine...

    Can my Maverick be this far off???

    The heat rises up the sidewalls of the WSM (if you are using a pan). If the probe is too close to the side it will read high.

    WSM 22.5 + cajun bandit door + Compression latch (SC-62315)

    Finally got the chance to use my 22" WSM with the compression latch. I was very pleased with it. it closed up nicely and opening and closing the door was a plessure. the OEM handle on the thicker CD door isn't that good. This made a world of difference. I did notice I should have tighten the...

    Which temp should I follow?

    I belive the grate temperature would be more accurate than the dome - depending on where the probe is place. If the probe is on the edge of the grate, it will read significantly hotter, as the heat in the WSM raise up along the walls of the cooker (assuming you're using a pan/heat sink). Like...

    This has to be a deal right?

    I'd take a look at it, nothing to loose, no? Curious, the ad says Natural Gas, but it's set up for LP.

    If you had $100 to spend at the meat market, what would you buy?

    Personally I like to age and cut my own steaks so a primal NY Strip or Rib Eye would be something I would consider. I love Wagyu but save that for a fancy dinner out in a very nice resturant. A leg of lamb can be broken down into some nice bonless filets, cubes for shish kabbob and trimmings...

    Bakerstone Pizza Oven Box

    The fire brick around the pizza creates a more authentic pizza oven that bakes the pizza from all sides. There are several threads about people putting togethor makeshift versions of these in thier grills. I wonder how much of these would cost?

    What mods have you done that you did not like?

    I've done the CB door, compresion latch, gromets, and the CB extended fire ring as well as the CB rotisseire. I don't see much value with the extended charcoal ring. I don't do many very long cooks (all mostly under 8 hours) but it was part of the "CB Pimp kit". I love the door and the...

    Weber Smoker for Genesis Silver B 2001

    Can't help but notice the heat sheilds on the back burners look significantly different than the front 2, and since your wood chips didn't burn evenly I'm wondering if all the burners are working correctly? are you getting even heat? (you could always do the bread test...cover the grates in...

    Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer - Is it worth it?

    Cripes. I'm a spaz today. Yea, I've been using the the 732. for some strange reason I thought he was refering to a single probe maverick (If there is even such a thing). -pay no attention to me. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread....:confused:

    Maverick ET-733 Wireless Thermometer - Is it worth it?

    I've used the ET733 for several years and really like it. Having two probes lets you monitor the temperature at the grill as well as the internal temperature of what you're cooking. It's a great feature. definatley worth the extra $10.

    new gasser needed... help me out here

    IF that's the case and you do more of your proteins over the coals and the gasser is for back up or quick dinners, then I'm thinking the Spirit would fit the bill nicely. If the gasser was going to be your main cooking unit, then I'd might steer you to the Genesis...

    new gasser needed... help me out here

    Hi Brian, I have a Genesis EP330. I don't think the size of the Genesis is overkill. To me it's always struck me as pretty much standard size of the gas grills I always had. The EP330 has a sear station that I use quite often, and after the inital sear, I like to move the steaks over to a...

    WSM 22.5 + cajun bandit door + Compression latch (SC-62315)

    I installed the compression latch on my 22" Cajun Bandit door yesterday and am very pleased with the inital results. Hopefully the weather will clear here in Central MA and I'll be able to smoke something soon and see just how well the door/latch work. As others have stated the latch does not...

    WSM 22.5 + cajun bandit door + Compression latch (SC-62315)

    HI guys, I received my latch the other day and I'm looking at the diagram that Jeff Jones provided and I am a bit confused. With the nuts and washers there's a small square plate with a lip and the center cut out. Where does this go in the assembly? I must be over looking something. Any help...

    Buying a Weber gasser .. recommendations?

    I have an Special edition 330. I love the sear station. If you're more comfortable in the lower price range, go for a black Gensis 310 with the PC grates. You can always upgrade the grates to CI or SS down the road. Same thing with the flame guards. :)
