If you do the mod with the lower vent on your SJP, then I don't see any downside. Certainly the way the lid holder snaps into the handle makes it much more convenient to transport. I guess the cost for the gold, plus the mod cost might be a factor to consider. Paul

I have been more pleased with my Taylor than the Polder, and I believe it does have an "on/off" switch. I've never tried the Nu-Temp. Paul

Not 100 times ... only 99 , but then what hasn't been repeated on the board. I think if you take them to 195 they'll be dried out. I don't cook them for pulling. I think fork tender is probably a better gauge. Maybe 4 hours or so and then foil with some moisture for an hour or so and finish...

The SJS gets hotter, ime, because the vent is below the fuel source. That said the fuel also probably is consumed faster on that grill. The only advantage i see to the SJG is the portability; however that would be a significant factor for tailgaiting, etc - which i don't do. I really only...

Larry Welcome to the board. I had a similiar experience with a 12 year Genesis 2000. I chose to replace it with a Genesis Silver B with PCI grates, and have been happy with my decision. My vote would be to go with a new unit and there are some nice ones out there this year. I think the...

It actually doesn't come on the Gold, but the lid holder can be had here for 20 bucks if you want one. I have the Performer and the holder is pretty handy. Paul

My bad - now I remember, I think, ... it's the lower grate on the WSM that can't be replaced by anything but another WSM grate ? Paul

The 2 cooking grates on the WSM are 17 1/2 and 17 - I doubt if the one for the 18 1/2" kettle would fit. Paul

I have the same set up and I think yours is performing ok. 500 degrees in 10 min. is pretty good for a grill with this amount of BTUs, ime. My Silver B with PCI grates probably takes 15 min to max out on preheat which would be 600, plus. Paul

We did a whole hog at my hunting camp last season. I don't believe the hog was properly seasoned or marinated, but I wasn't really impressed with the cooker. It is very fast, but obviously that must mean high temp which I don't think works particularly well with a high fat content meat such as...

For some reason my Academy stopped carrying them. I ordered four from Bass Pro, to get the most for the shipping charge, and the total, with shipping, came to a little under $24. Less than $6 each, delivered to your door. Paul

Kevin So with all of your cooks basically being well over a 250 lid temp, which I guess is around 235 top grate temp, what set up do you use with your waterpan - empty foiled lined Weber pan, sand, or perhaps some other heat sink. Thanks, Paul

In the "grilling section" I've seen several references to "Weber spottings" at Walmart. That could well explain the actions or inactions at HD/Lowes ? Paul

I agree - you got a SJ Silver which is my SJ of choice because of the bottom vent. At $7 plus the costs of a charcoal grate, you did well. Paul

Well I'm going to give the higher heat butt cook a try in a few weeks. I would love to be able to start at a reasonable hour in the a.m. and finish in time to serve for dinner. I just hope I can still get that wonderful rendering of fat and break down of the other stuff as I have gotten over...

RUB IT IN ! Now I got serious Grill envy . Seriously, thanks for posting. Those pics were great and really helpful to anyone thinking about placing an order - such as me. I'm, leaning toward the S-450. Got to wait to catch SWMBO out of town again. . Paul

Bill Would you mind sharing the specs and dimensions ? That really looks like a nice set up and would easily accomodate a few strips of plywood, just proped up, for a windbreak. While I don't have the knowledge or skill to build one, I know someone who does - for the right price. Thanks, Paul
