Oh, ok. The new ones look really nice and when i see a picture of the older ones w/ the SS, they just look "so so", a little dates. My platnium has the plastic table and it has been fine for 12 yrs, though i realize ss is considered a premium to plastic

Does anyone know what the differences are between the latest version of the performer vs. one like the one attached and listed in the trader section of this forum, attached? Is this older generation better and if so, why? One member said something about ditching his 05 performer for this one...

Thanks for the input. i contacted BGE and they won't cover under warranty unless the product was registered, receipt is provided, etc. However, a new med lid is 131 dollars plus 30 for shipping and another 18 for new gaskets. So, for a total investment of 200, i could have an egg and nest...

wasn't sure where this post belonged so trying this location. A guy I know placed his older, medium sized green egg at his condo since he sold his house. I knew the renters and curious folks would eventually break it, especially when i realized the lid was loose. I see the lid is now gone, it...

Well, i didn't ask him about Johnny Trigg but when he served the cupcake chickens, I said "i remember these, you were in a contest and one of the young entrants copied you and made them too". He said "yeah, he really ****ed me off". I remember that show and he certainly was ****ed. It was a...

LOL. I attempted to comment on the ribs and he said, i'm looking for input on the seasoning and sauces more than the meat. They were very good. I'm not really sure what judges look for when testing ribs for competition purposes but i thought they were great. I've made great ribs myself with...

I thought some of you would find this of interest. I was in Miami for business (still am) and got a call from a client who asked me to meet him at a new restaurant that was opening soon. It is called "pride and Joy". Anyway, it is Myron's new restaurant concept. When I walked in, it was...

so how much are the handles and where do you order them from?

Ok. I primarily use a platnium/performer and the handle gets warm but never hot. This was shockingly hot. They may have put too much charcoal and I'm now believing the lid may not fit properly, causing more airflow and therfore hotter temps b/c as i think about it, the chicken was burned and...

Does anyone know what might be causing the problem w/ a kettle i used (friends) this weekend? The coals were hot/ready so I spread them, put the grate on and 5 min later, added my chicken with the lid closed. I came back 20 min later to flip the chicken and the lid handle (plastic/grey) on the...

I cooked my 3rd brisket this weekend. a friend purchased a 12lb'er from sam for $2.48/lb and asked me to cook it. I put it on the 22 kettle vs. the wsm given the size. I had a hard time getting the temps up to 350 or even 325 for that matter but part o fit was related to having one top lid...

do the rest of you have a similar problem in which over time, the weber covers shrink to the point that they won't fit the wsm, grills anymore? I have 3 covers, one of the wsm, one on the genesis gold and one on my platnium/performer. The only one that fits is the wsm and it barely fits. In...

one the weber, it is in the florida heat but not directly in the sun since it is covered. on my turkey fryer, it probably gets a moderate amt of sun at times. I just bought a new one at HD, the second one i've bought in the last couple of yrs. I got a brinkman brand for teh turkey fryer and...

Is anyone else having the same problems as me. I've now had two weber regulators go bad due to the plastic knob that screws into the tank crack. They used to be made out of metal but for the last number of yrs, the knob is plastic. I now need to buy another regulator, hose and related parts...

Well, i posted about the need to cook a butt in a crock pot since I'm staying in a condo for the 4th. I could have baked it but wanted to try the pot. It cooked much faster than i espected. I put a 7.5 lb butt on and didn't ck it for 7 hrs, at which time it was completely done. Internal...

thanks for the posts, looks like there are ways to get around the flare up issue but the reality is, the gassers just don't perform like the kettle. I have two kettles and never have a flare up issue, likely due to the airflow regulation inherent in the design. There just isn't enough airflow...

I will be at a condo for the 4th and can't smoke anything, bummer. However, the other day, i walked into a diner and the smell of barbque was in the air. I asked the chef and he said he cooks it in a crock pot, not smoke, just bbq sause. While not nearly as good as what i've made on the...

I have a number of charcoal grills but on rare occassions, need to use my weber gold c genesis gasser but am always frustrated with it. First, when cooking chicken, i get a great deal of flare ups and unless i watch it closely, will burn the crap out of my chicken. On the kettle, I put the...

i have not purchased a brisket packer in a year or so but was at walmart and noticed they are now up to $2.58/lb. Last time I purchased one, i think they were $1.99/lb so i thought i would ck w/ you on prices. I know food prices have increased, even the butts that i used to get for 99 cents on...

I have a 12 yr old platnium, looks like a performer, and the two legs under the grill bowl are wheels but the legs under the table are 3/4 or 1 inch metal tubes. The tubes have become very rusty where they sit on the ground and up about 2-3 inches, leaving rust stains on my deck. Plus, in...
