Found answer to my own question- 5" from cooking grate to lid per the Weber Jumbo Joe Fanatic Guide/ I think I'll get one and do a DIY extension with roof flashing. It will transport and store much easier than either the 22.5" kettle or 18" WSM.

How much headspace is there between the cooking grate and the lid? My 14/5" Joe can't fit a very big chicken, and the 22.5" kettle needs so many new parts it would cost less to buy a new grill- so I was thinking of upgrading to the Jumbo Joe (and keeping it on a shelf in the garage hence the...

Thinking about doing a Tri-Tip reverse sear based on Meathead's process from Amazing Ribs dot com. Question whether to use the WSM as described above, or use the 22.5" kettle with indirect/direct sides blocked with bricks? I'll put a cast iron grill (not griddle) over the coals in either...

David- (& others) Have you tried the Craycourt grate for the Gas Go-Anywhere? That's my go-to camping grill but I've always been disappointed in its inability to sear. Even adjusting the gas flow up (set screw under label on handle), makes it hotter but still no sear. Thinking the Craycourt...

I second this question- My luck with brisket has been rather hit and miss, but when it's good it's very good.

I too am a proud new Q owner. I had decided that in order to enjoy more grilled food this summer I needed something that let me start cooking quickly after getting home from work. Being impatient but cheap I searched Craigslist. The first one- a Q 200 on the folding cart was for sale 3 miles...

Shawn, Thanks for the reply. I get up at 5:00 and was hoping to have the meat on by 6:00. Smoker is all set up and ready to light. Only the Brisket will be eaten tomorrow. The pork is for the later and to pass out to neighbors. I was figuring about 12 hours then foil it till tender. Do...

AHA! Just had a great idea. Wait until tomorrow morning to cook. Put the butts and brisket in at the same time. The brisket should be done in plenty of time for an early dinner. The butts will get pulled for later. I plan to put the brisket on the bottom rack with one butt. The other...

After not smoking anything for a few months, and only having smoked one brisket in my life, I headed off to Costco today. Anyhow I came home with the only sort of brisket in the case- a 4.5 pound well trimmed flat. And four boneless pork shoulders at about 8 pounds each. I've cooked plenty of...

This is a stale topic, but I'll reply anyway. My Gas Go-Anywhere doesn't get hot enough to really sear a steak well. It seems to do okay with burgers and does great chicken. Also it makes a great platform for a Lodge cast iron griddle to make pancakes. The 1 pound tanks are pretty worthless-...

Modern gas safety valves in propane cylinders have several safety features, one of which is designed to limit flow in the event of a hose rupture. With mine if I hook up the hose for my portable grill and whack open the tank valve I can hear the little safety valve cutting down flow- the grill...

I have the Gas Go Anywhere and like it- maybe just because over 5 seasons I'm used to it. It gets a lot of use when we go camping both as a grill and with my griddle on top for pancakes. I even bake pizza in it. Since it's my only gas grill I also break it out when I'm too lazy to do charcoal...

I have a Gas Go Anywhere and use the L Lodge L7GI3. I prop the grill lid back on its rest as a windbreak and the griddle fits very well. If weather is at all cool or breezy I remove the metal heat diffuser plate from the BBQ or it tends to be cool. I just bought the larger Lodge LPGI3 to use...

I've made variants on this theme twice now and got rave reviews both times. The first time I made it I had just been to an apple farm near San Luis Obispo and had a bunch of fresh picked apples. It seemed just wrong to use canned apples over those beauties so I diced up fresh apples. To be...

I think Chris pretty much said it on the previous page. The quoted article could be an advertisement for "Low & Slow". I guess I'd better stop using my Weber Gas Go-Anywhere with its "Flavorizer" which burns up the grease drippings and redeposits them on your meat as a tasty carcinogenic...

For some odd reason my wife asked for a chest freezer which shall become a Christmas present (for me!). I got to thinking about vacuum sealing. My initial concern is the high price of bags. Reading up on some other BBQ forums I saw a post about the: Sorbent Systems Snorkelvac Any comments on...

You mean you're supposed to clean the water pan? I just dump it and leave it in the yard for the alley cats to lick.

I still have trouble getting brisket right. For a first smoke I suggest the other white meat, unless you have something against pork. Go with the Mr. Brown recipe on the main page. The WSM does perform better after a couple of uses. It gets a light coating of grease and ash on the inside...

I just wadded up two hanks of aluminum foil to block the gap on each side of the charcoal grate. It's worked well enough for 3 seasons.

My mileage is a bit less- about 15 hours is the most I've asked for. I do the Minion Method with a bottomless 1 lb coffee can surrounded by unlit coals. Pour lit coals in the coffee can and then pull the can out- leaving a cylinder of burning coals surrounded by unlit. The stock water pan...
