I found that if I keep the top vent opened completely, and leave the bottom closed, I get 325-350 with two baskets of K (heaping). I shaped my ring a little bit to get the air gaps at a minimum, made a big difference. There's never extra K to save because closing the top doesn't extinguish them...

Mark, the dome never got above 350 measured with a Tel-Tru, didn't check the stone. Does work great in the oven at 500F.

I filled the chimney with charcoal and waited for the top ones to look almost all white. Spread them out, dropped some more unlit briquettes, around the ring, then put it all together. Popped the lid on it, and let it get hot for about 25 - 30 minutes. Then made 3 pizzas in the next 30 minutes...

Dwain, my pizzas were burning on the bottom before the cheese melted. The kettle pizza with the stone on top looks like the solution, but $142 is not in the cards any time soon. :)

Hi all, figured I'd finally post something after only mostly reading here. This stone does a great job blocking a lot of the heat that's needed on top. So I came up with this setup after seeing what you guys do. It works well, getting plenty of smoke on the cheese, which is the way we like it...

Received the lid holder assembly today, put it all together, replacing the bowl. Looks like Weber redesigned the lid holder. Different gray rollers (bowl end narrow width) and the nuts holding them are a much tighter fit allowing the rollers to stay loose, away from the bowl and able to spin...

Rolf, thanks for looking into it. The washer was installed on the Performer and on the Platinum. I can't figure it out, the rollers are the same size as the Platinum. The only thing I didn't do is compare the length of the metal bar to see if the Performer is shorter. Dave, I received a whole...

Strange issue, one of the gray rollers on my Performer melted into the bowl. Then when I removed it, it came off with the enamel that it melted into. My 2005 Platinum with the identical system still has the original rollers on it. The only difference is that on the Platinum the rollers spin...

I second the butterfly.

I cook butterflied chickens in my Q220 and the Genesis G all the time. On the Gen I'll turn the front and rear burners on low, with an aluminum pab directly under the chicken. On the Q, I place the chicken on a sheet of foil, folded up around the edges so the grease does not drip down.

My wife got me the Weber rotisserie for our Performer. At first glance, it appears well made, but it leaks badly. With my bottom vent completely closed, I'm getting 450 at the lid. That means I'll have to learn how to use less fuel to get the lower temps I like to use on a prime rib roast. I do...

I guess no love for the super peel. I had the same issue, trashed a few pizzas when I started out. Once I purchased the super peel, problem solved. I use a metal peel to get the pizza off the stone when it's done cooking.

The idea is that since there's no oxygen between the fuel and the meat, you get a very fast flash of heat without fire. I tried it once and did not like the results. Cast iron on the Performer gets much better results for me.

I've been using this one for years, trust me it works just like you see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCM0gTOSHXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...w0RNo&feature=relmfu

Anyone here use one of these things to refill disposable 1lb tubes? I'm considering it because the large tank is a pain to take camping when using the 220, I have a new Performer with the GA and my son is using a Charbroil Portable with the Boy Scouts...

I have the Mario Batali and after a couple of uses it got stained just like the one posted. Used an acid based cleaner specifically formulated to clean enameled cast iron. The stain got slightly lighter with the cleaner. It cooks fine, and the stains are not a big deal to me anymore (key word)...

Just as an FYI in case anyone thought of cooking a whole chicken and thought it would catch fire (as I did). It was almost 5lbs, and the gas valve set almost all the way down, temp at about 350. Took almost 1.5 hrs and came out great. Next one I cook, I'll take a picture. Very impressed with...

That's a before 08 valve, the new ones have a bracket.
