I would agree. Don't be intimidated, jump right in and ask a ton of questions. That's the only way you're going to learn... and the only way we're going to learn as well! Everyone is great on this site and I check it at least 1-2 times per day. I've learned so much!

I used Bobby Flay's Fish taco recipe found here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/fish-tacos-recipe/index.html and they were delicious! Of course I forgot to take any pictures, maybe I'll get some pics of the leftovers!

Michael- Great job on your test burns. Just remember that when you add the cold meat, it'll drop your temps quite a bit. Either way, it's always fun!

I would agree that it burns faster and I'm not a huge fan. I usually stick with the blue bag but every now and then Costco or Home Depot run a very good sale on the comp that you just can't beat. Therefore, I'll only buy the comp when it's on a great sale and cheaper than my boy blue!

Kevin- Happy b-day and congrats on some of the best gift's you'll ever receive! My suggestions... GET STARTED! As everyone said above, foil the water pan and it will run hot for a couple of initial cooks. Many people will close all vents and smother out the charcoal if doing a shorter cook so...

Typically the warranty is just for the original owner. Now, I've never done it, but I have heard of folks contacting Weber and not notifying them that is was purchased used. I'm not saying... I'm just saying.

I was referred to this site by another competition team. Since then, there hasn't been a night (when I had an internet connection) that I haven't check it out! I love looking at all the new ideas and my wife always rolls her eyes!

Some of the best memories of my childhood are grilling with my dad. From early on I became the BBQ cook at our house and we had a blast. My grandfather & uncle competed only once in the Great Lenexa BBQ but my cousin & I were hooked. We made a deal years ago that some day we were going to...

Thanks for the input all. I actually picked up a used 10X20 canopy tent from CL. It's not a pop-up but is easy to put together, is waterproof and was only $75. We've done a number of comps and I've never had a problem setting up a tent that wasn't fire proof. In fact, I don't know if I've...

I was going to purchase the Performer but ended up finding an older one on CL for $35! It needs a little TLC and the gas tank is mission but I'm okay with that since I'll use my chimney. These things are built to last so a $35 investment is with it. I would go Performer and either find one on...

The whole cook turned out.. okay. The pork was fantastic! The ribs were pretty good but I'm still working on those. When I had my off-set I used the 3-2-1 method and it worked out great. I cut it down to 2-1-1 on the WSM but today after 2-1 they were already too fall-off-the-bone. I think I...

Anyone try this to make wings yet?

Well I started out a little hot (got up to around 325) so I had to dial it down a bit. I decided to go to bed at 2:00am and I just woke up at 7:00am (central) and the WSM was right where I left it! I know it's only 5-hrs but I sure do love that thing! I just had the butts on last night...

I have an 18.5 kettle that I've had for about 10-yrs and for the most part kept it outside year round without a cover. The past 3-4 years I decided to buy the "cheap" Weber cover that would break down half way through the winter. You would never know that though, it's in great condition. Now...

So I was going to wake up early tomorrow (this) morning to put on 3 butts, 2 briskets & 3 slabs. By the time we got home from the movie, it was already midnight so I decided, what the **** let's start it now and do our first overnight cook! I'm just about to put on the butts and hope to wake...

Costco used to only sell flats and then about 8-months ago started selling packers. However, last week I went to get a couple of packers and they only had flats! I ended up borrowing my cousin's Sam's Club card to get whole packers & bone-in butts since Costco doesn't have those either.

I ended up taking many of your suggestions! Like Bill, I just cut one end and slid one of the butts out. The other one was still pretty tight in the wrapping so I just rolled the other end of the wrapper over. Then I used saran and wrapped it up real tight, then foil, then another layer of...

I'm doing a fairly large cook this weekend and part of that cook will include 3 pork butts. I purchased them at Sam's where they come in packs of 2. So for those of you that are not good with math, I'll have 1 left over. My wife's company has a vacuum sealer and they offered to let me use...

I've found that letting them sit on the counter for 30-minutes or so really brings out the flavor. I think that they are more tender that way. My wife would eat a raw steak if I served it so I'm always trying to not over-cook everything!
