    Is there some kind of cast iron griddle type surface I can get for a Genesis E330?

    Why cast iron versus just carbon steel? https://steelmadeusa.com/collections/outdoor-cooking/products/flat-top-for-outdoor-grill# I‘d offer you feedback, but mine just showed up a couple days ago and I’m more anxious to try out the new to me KBQ when the wind ever dies down.

    I have to buy a mattress

    Hybrid with adjustable base no box springs. Just the tiniest head lift does wonders if you’ve ever had acid reflux.

    How and why do you use a vacuum sealer, and is it essential for you?

    I buy whole sub-primals, cut myself into thick steaks and roasts and vacuum seal. I also use for sous vide and leftovers. Vacuum seal cheeses like parmesan and romano to keep them fresh longer. Wouldn’t be without.

    Saw this on a FB SmokeFire group post

    I feel like I could have wrote the same post Jon, except I already had a WSCG and replaced the SomkeFire with another pellet grill. The line in the middle says it all “when it works, it’s great, when it doesn’t I hare it…” In fact, it was so great when it did work, I fell for it twice and ran...

    Not looking good for Weber at my Lowe’s store

    Another thing to take into consideration is what Weber is, a company trying to make money. They have to find a balance on how long something will last and reputation. At their current size and market share, they probably despise the Silver series grills and the number of them still around. How...

    Not looking good for Weber at my Lowe’s store

    I‘m not in manufacturing nor a metal expert, but to me it sure seems like smelting metals, possible chemical treatments, and/or paints have come a long way since the old E-W Webers were new on shelves. I look at it in cars. Where I live they salt roads 4-6 months of the year anytime moisture is...

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    The Kamado upper grate is closer to the cooking grate than the kettle. That’s why the SNS doesn’t fit perfect in the Kamado and they have a Low Profile model. That distance does make the Kamado sear a little differently than the kettle.

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    All I can say is look how many people sell their kettles and performers and never look back after getting the Kamado/WSCG. Is it cheap? No. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a. kettle, that’s why it’s been around 70 years. Can it be improved? Definitely, that’s why there’s other options. I...

    Help - new Genesis or previous model?

    Are you a Costco member? They have a S-345 model that usually sells for $999 or less in store if available. I had a Silver A for years and like cooking on the new grill better myself. However, I don’t rotisserie on gas and I sear a lot on the Genesis after smoking on the pellet grill, so I love...

    Summit Charcoal vs Summit Kamado E6/S6 and why?

    Before the Kamado version was released, I often saw here and numerous other places people saying they would like the Weber Summit Charcoal, but it was just way too overpriced. I think the price drop brought a lot of those people in. I know had it been out or announced as coming I would have...

    Smokefire Shutdown "Feature"

    From what I’ve seen, most shutdown processes are getting longer not shorter. My MAK is 20 minutes. I want to say my Woodwind was 10-15 as well as my last Traeger. For a lot of pellet grills, I think this is an extra precaution to prevent burn back in the auger. Even though that really doesn’t...

    Spirit S-210 Sticker Shock

    Looking to get into Weber Kettles

    It’s already been mentioned, but I’d also recommend the Performer if you’re serious about charcoal. Compared to other grill options it’s still pretty affordable and the table is such a convenience.

    Spirit S-210 Sticker Shock

    Not saying it’s good or right, but what can you buy for $500 today? Everything has gone up dramatically the last 2 years. Still probably worth it in comparison to other new grills, but definitely would make a 5 year old used Genesis much more appealing. Myself, having bought a 210 a few years...

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    The group I’m in is “Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling”. I see a lot of people take the Weber riser shelf and put a stone on top of that. As far as getting going, really no different than a kettle. You can get the SnS Low Profile made for the Kamado again and I have a GrillBlazer Grill Gun and a...

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    I love my WSCG and use it more for hot n fast and 2 zone grilling than long LnS cooks. However, it does great on those long cooks too. If you’re not going to do a lot of low n slow, the main benefit you’re going to see is capacity. It‘s surprising how much bigger 2” of diameter is on a round...

    Weber Gourmet BBQ System

    The only time I like the GBS system on my WSCG is when I use the Vortex. I usually buy more universal accessories that are bigger and can be used on other grills too. I have the little GBS griddle pan and it usually ends up on top of the grate so I can move it around.

    EX4 Gen 2 vs EPX4 Stealth

    Supposedly - Better casters, thicker internal parts, and hopper changes is what I’ve seen. BBQGuys had some pics of the hopper (EPX6) and it looks like the short side is now a straight drop, the low pellet sensor is moved, and the finger guard relocated. From what I’ve seen the heavier internal...

    Knife for Brisket Slicing

    I have both of these, the second is obviously nicer, but the first works just fine. The reason I got the second is I scored it at less than half current price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PS1HRM/?tag=tvwb-20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWK7VIU/?tag=tvwb-20
