That's not a grill. It's a whole Kitchen!! Sweet set up. :)

I use about the same amount of Charcoal in my 18.5 WSM as you Mike when I do BB ribs. Maybe a little less, ( A 3/4 full chimney and about the same unlit in the ring. EDIT: Re reading your post Mike, yea, having lit coals touching the pan sounds to me like you have too muchcharcol in the ring...

Ditto on using an empty water pan. Another trick when doing a high heat (Above 300 in my book) cook is to put briquettes in the charcoal ring, and place a full chimeny ontop of the charcoal. I then light up the chimney and when the charcoal in the chimney is ready, the coals in the ring are...

how about grilled sausage tossed with pasta with an aglio e olio sauce? Or with some rice and black beans?

Door handle help with Cajun bandit door Hey Guys, I upgraded my WSM 22.5" by adding the S.S Cajun Bandit door and something isn't right...there's a lot of slop in the handle. When I installed it, I did have a problem with the brass insert in the handle stripping out, but that was fixed...

Can I ask a dumb question? Why? Canyou fit more racks in the cooker? Does hanging cook differntly than sitting on a grate? As the meat cooks and gets tender, wont' the weight of the ribs pull the rack off the hook? What are the benifits of hanging vs on a grill?

Congrats on the new Smoker. As far as the sauce, you can make a tray of both...one sauced, one not. :)

I cant' imagine the heat sheld effecting the cooking/temps/performance of the WSM. I believe it's there only as a safety device to protect the surface beneath the cooker. In fact up until a few years ago, WSM didn't have any heat sheilds what so ever. My 18.5 WSM doesn't have the shield...

I ahve an EP 330. The buners run north to south. (I'ts my understanding all the Gensisi since 2009 have the N-S burners. With all the burners on (including the sear station) The grill hit's 700 in about 5-10 minutes. It's very well insualted and hold the temps very well...I went with the EP...

I found I like the fruit woods, mostly apple, cherry and peach. I can't really tell the difference between them, but they all provide a nice smokey flavor without making the food taste like it was in a house fire, or bitter. Althought the amount of smoke will also effect the taste of the food...

That doenst' sound right. What was your old Weber? How long does it take your chimney to be ready? It takes me a good 15 mintues for a chimney of charcaol to ash over. My Genesis EP330 will be at 700 in less than 10 minutes.

Nice buy Tom! Congrats! I've never heard any "grumblings" that the Gensis was built better than the Summit (??) A few threads down we were just discussing the EP Genesis vs a Summit and genereally it was simpley a question of if money wasn't a concern the Summit line is the way to go. :)

You're supposed to clean it?

I've done Lobster & Clam bakes for large crowds. Messy, exspesive and smelly garbage. But fun!

Phil, what did you find was nicer? Construction? Performance? Features? I struggled with the Genny/Summit queston too, but never had the chance to cook on a Summit. Inquiring minds want to know! :)

I have the EP 330, and am thrilled with it. But compared to the Summit 470? I dunno - Never used it. If money isn't an issue then yea, go for the big boy. If the extra $1000 is a concern, I'd take a closer look at the EP330. You can add the hanlde light and a rosttissare to the EP33...

I'm another vote for don't let the mod's get in the way of cooking. While the mod's are fine and may improve/enhance/customize your WSM, the cooker is ready to go and will work great without mods right out of the box. In fact I'd strongly recomend you wait until you've used it a least a...

Yup. You will to need to put a toothpick through the meatball to hold the bacon. Works a lot better if the meatball isn't frozen. :)

Yup. It's confusing. What you and I would consider a shoulder is called a butt. What you and I would think is the butt (hind legs) are hams. ;)

You can also order it on line from Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/ Just type in "Rib Rack" in the "what are you looking for?" Search box. They have several racks, including the Master forge one.
