I agree, and a rule of thumb is 1.5 hrs per pound and an internal temp of 190-205, but all subject to tenderness. The 1.5 hrs didnt equate to the appx internal temp and certainly not tenderness. This is the worst butt ive made though everyone else didnt know the difference.

I have never smoked such a small butt but local grocer had small butts. Bought a 4.32 lb butt and putt it on at 1115am. Figured 1.5 hrs per pound so appx 6 pm done, rest for one hour eat at 7pm. Temp ck at 530, 6.25 hrs and internal was only 168 on the therma pen. I couldnt believe it. I...

It is raining here in florida but i decided to smoke a butt on the weber platnium instead of the wsm. While this has been developing for a ling time, when i moved the grill, a piece of the leg broke off. Pics attached. I assume the leg is one piece, attached to the table at the top, curving...

Well, I guess I got lucky. When i was at Target a week ago, anticipating the 70% off only to find a 50% off sale, the clerk said buy what you want and if the price drops, you have 2 weeks to get a match so I bought one of the two q1200's and one JJ for $99 and $30. I read above that the price...

Well, the labor day sales are now published in central florida. As usual, nothing to get excited about other than the porterhouse for $6.99. The butts are 2$/lb and st louis ribs are $3/ lb. disappointing

Thanks for all the feedback. It will be hard for me to give up my platinum since I ngot it new in 2000, so 15 years of weekly use so I'm attached to it. In fact, I have 2 and they are identical. I got the second one for 35$ on Craigslist and put it at my hunting lease where it gets a lot of use...

well, i was told by the local target that the 70% markdown would take place on wednesday b/c that's when they do it so when i arrived, the guy told me the markdown is on thursday but no guarantee it will happen. He suggested i buy the unit and secure it, then check back tomorrow or over the...

Robert, that was very helpful, thank you. Found it interesting as it explained the evolution of the grill, something i could see with the variations of the differemt models but this made it clear as to when and what. While the gen 4 sounds like the best, i may keep an eye open for a nice gen 4

I am going to look on craigslist to see what performers i might run into as i cinsider upgrading my current platnium, the one that looks like the performer but wo the gas assist or bin. Anyway, ive now realized there are more variations of the oerformer than originally anticipated. Ive seen...

I have 2 of the platnium performers wo gas assist and am in the market for a used deluxe w gas assist. I use my platnium weekly and it is date code DD, a model year 2000 so 15 years of enjoyment. Still in terrific shape and prob sell quickly for 100$. The only thing i spent over all those years...

Really ranges based on markets. I will look for labor day sales and will buy 4 butts if they drop down but im not spending 2.50/lb on them

I went to target and looked at one. It was in the box so not much to look at but reg 60$ now 30. If they go to 18$ maybe i will get one though i would prob prefer the q1200 for 60$ if i could find one at 70 percent off vs the jj. Just seems if i am ever going to use to travel the gas would be...

I camt seem to do any better than 2.50$/lb for butts, 4$/lb for baby backs and 3$ for st louis ribs. Brisket is $3.99. Ive been away from the smoker for a good while so is this normal pricing these days? I sure miss the .99 cent butts which then became 1.49$ and seemed expensive. The above...

I'm not sure i see the appeal of this jj unit. I may go see what my local store has but i have about as much stuff as i need.

For the first time, i did not cook my butt low and slow bc i didnt have time. It was the most disappointing butt ive ever made. It was tough and had chunks of fat vs the normal fall off the bone with fat melted down. I cooked it at 300 degrees uncovered for 3 hrs then foiled for 2 hrs then...

I have a 22 inch weber charcoal grill in addition to many others. Was going to buy a new grill bc the bottom flaps arent working either but since it is a backup grill, imthought i would just get a new grate for cooking but cant find the right size or model number. Can anyone assist? I find...

I have had problems with my cooking grate getting terribly rusted out, especially the one on my kettle grill. Before i purchaser yet another grate, i thought i would ask to see if u know any practical tips and tricks to prevent this from happening. I did try using pam spray on the grates but...

Thx for new code, i ordered 5 packs but was a dime short of the 50$ so i added a few cheaps screws for 20 cents and it worked. Very pleased, thank u

You all haven't seen me on here in awhile, probably a year or so and I haven't done much w/ my bbq but decided this is a good weekend for doing a couple of butts. I was surprised to realize how expensive they've gotten. It was not uncommon for me to find sales at .99 and then 1.29 at other...

I think Lowes disconnected the 10% discount and have disqualified the product from it. I attempted to place an order last night and it accepted it but i then realized my cc was in the back bedroom and I didn't feel like getting up so decided to place the online order for 160 lbs in the morning...
