    Is this worth the trouble?

    Thanks for that! Went back and checked and it is only 10 years on the burners for some reason I thought it was 25. IIRC she said the parts that are replaced under warranty don't start over again with the warranty, it only goes back to the date that the grill was purchased. I'm keeping the...

    Is this worth the trouble?

    No they said it wasn't covered under warranty. I tried using a pin punch and driving the bolt though but the head is pretty much "welded" to the manifold so I ordered a new one on my dime. At some point will drill through it and see if I can chisel the head off. Failing that I will use the angle...

    Is this worth the trouble?

    Well that is quite the list I only asked about 3 things LOL. Scraping? More like wire brushing what is left of the metal. Way too young to look like this. And then epoxy primer or at least Eastwood Encapsulator. Then paint. Not enough of the bottom panel left to deal with so moved into the...

    Is this worth the trouble?

    What maintenance would you recommend? I have to agree with @LMichaels on this one even though I am not sure if he has yet to come on board with the beauty and benefits of grillgrates, on all grills :p I spent 20 years working in the engine and boiler room of Navy ships doing operations and...

    Amazon BBQMall Grill Table Stand Cart $219

    Very similar to Filipino lechon pork belly roll. It was a street food on the streets in PI years ago so thought I would try to reproduce it a couple of years ago. Came pretty close to nailing it. Short on lemon grass in these parts so improvised a little bit however turned out well Make...

    I will just leave this here

    For decades the Ex was in that camp. I would keep them running for up to 4 years but after the first 2 you are replacing the guts every year. I tried telling her that I could have bought a Weber gasser and be done with it after spending so much money on the cheap ones over the years. When she...

    What exactly DOES make the WSM better than a modified kettle?

    I purchased the SnS when it first came out. Think I may be the only one on the internet that isn't a huge fan LOL. Minion method is just that and for the slow part I never seen an advantage of it. On the 22" kettles I just used baskets or rails prior to it coming out and never seen any real...

    Can you help me identify a part (Genesis S330)? Is it 'critical' to replace?

    8 years old but has a lot of heavy use including the sear burner. I'm going with it is needed. New cookbox is sitting in the driveway, waiting on other parts to come in and cleaning rust from the cabinet. 25 year warranty on cookbox but have to purchase the heat shield because it is not...

    Charcoal Sales

    I really miss the days of the twin packs of KBB sales 3 times a year for $9.99 guess we will never see those days again. Used to panic when it got below the handle of the musky net. At one time they were 2x20 pound twin packs. It has been well below that for a long time now. Going to try the...

    Weber once, Weber forever

    The first thing that jumps at me is the Med Rare for pork chops (steaks). You still need to take pork to 145° no matter what so it more Medium. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Like my pork chops at least 1.5" thick same as my steaks. Brine them for 4-5 hours and brine includes...

    How cold is too cold for a gasser?

    How cold is too cold would depend on the size tank you are using. And how full it is. Camping while hunting those 1 lb. canisters don't do well much below freezing. The 20 lb. standard grill propane tank when it is at least half full is good for the twenties below zero °F. At least on my older...

    Pork Belly advice

    I have never heard of removing fat from a pork belly, for burnt ends or anything else. No matter what I am doing with a pork belly I always leave the fat on and try to keep as much on as I can when I skin in. Tweak a little bit from time to time but pretty much do the same as in the links...

    Cold weather/rain insulator/jacket for WSM 22

    I have the jacket for the 18" along with their older ATC. In my opinion it is well worth it if you live in the North. Or rain. With the ATC I could likely get by without it but it does help on fuel consumption so have best of both worlds.

    costco brisket

    I agree on all accounts, very pleased with Costco meats especially Prime anything. And in related news this just in... On the Tacoma Truck forum evidence was posted a week ago that in the DFW Texas area that at least 2 Costcos are carrying SRF Black Grade Wagyu brisket. For $4.99 a pound...

    Friday night with GrillGrates

    Big fan of the grill grates myself, gasser or charcoal. My Genesis is only 8-9 years old but have had some experience with GG on the 18" JJ so replaced the OEM with GG about a couple of months ago. No regrets they work well to say the least. On the JJ they really helped with flair ups. I...

    Chicken- size matters

    With turkey size sure matters the best I have found to be hens in the 12-13 pound range. A 6 pound chicken is a big bird, normally mine are in the 4-5 pound range. Quality meat has a lot to do with it. On the 22" kettle with roti I do the baskets on the side with a drip pan. With birds on...

    Just got Cajun bandit rotisserie...

    Congrats and happy belated birthday! Turkey. Dry brine with kosher salt. Inject with butter and your choice of ingredients. Don't need any wood smoke the dripping juices will provide you with plenty. I like the 12-14 lb. hens they are the most tender to begin with. One of the best...

    Direct smoking on the Weber kettle \m/

    That is my preferred method. Seldom could I get it to work right on the WSM even with the ATC, let alone the kettle. Even heat distribution was an issue for me. If someone can pull it off my hats off to you! :) More times than not I will even use the WSM for the Roti instead of the kettle...

    WSM Cover

    Another vote for Classic Accessories covers. I use the Hickory Heavy Duty ones and they have held up well. They are able to handle the twenties below zero weather much better than most others. And don't freeze up solid like most that then become stiff as a board.

    Hanging Ribs in WSM

    I just watched that video, thanks. I don't think it was a fair comparison he hung the ribs on the WSM off to the side so any drippings were most likely not falling on burning coals compared to the PBC. If he would have taken the center ring out and hung it there where the fire normally is they...
