Justin, I totally forgot to call Weber and forgot to respond back here. I still have the problem so I will call Weber when I get back from being out of town next week. Wayne

I have a Genesis 1000 that I rebuilt last year or the year before with new everything inside including the regulator and it burns hotter closer to the knobs than on the other side. There is quite a bit of difference. I also usually only use the two outer burners but even if I use all three, it...

Well, the grill is on a level concrete pad of the carport so I don't know if that is the problem. I didn't know if there was something else I could regulate to even things out. I guess I will call Weber CS tomorrow and see what they tell me. Thanks. Wayne

Looks good for your first time. I think you will do fine for your party. Wayne

I have a Genesis 1000 that I bought last year off of CL. I bought all new flavorizer bars, grates, burners, and manifold for it. The side closest to the manifold gets a lot hotter than the left side of the grill. Is there a way to regulate this or is this normal? The temp difference seems to...

Both of my WSM's are older so they don't have the dome thermometer but I have a Maverick 732 that I use clipped to the grate instead. I also sometimes use a oven thermo on the grate where I can see it through the top vent with a flashlight. I personally think the temp at the grate where the...

My smokers are the older ones with the shallow water pans and I don't pile the charcoal past the top of the charcoal ring. I actually hollow out the middle of unlit charcoal a little and place my lit coals there. I also foil the water pan and do not use water. This was my first cook on this...

At 8:45pm the temp of the smoker was at 175. Wayne

Well, its now almost 6:00pm here and the smoker is still going. The temp is now at 240, down from the 320 it was at 10:30am this morning when I first stuck the thermometer in the top vent hole. I've not touched the vents since I set them this morning. I first lit the coals yesterday at...

I just stuck one of my small weber thermometers in the top vent and it went to 320 before stopping. I have all three bottom vents about 1/3 open and the top vent open all the way. I'll probably leave it like that to see how long it keeps a decent temp. If I had more meat I could probably cook...

I knew I should have closed the vents sooner, the temps just climbed faster than I expected and caught me doing something else at the moment. I went outside at 10:00am this morning to check on the smoker and its still hot. I opened the door to check the coals and there are still quite a few...

They actually came out pretty good. They cooked for 3 hours and 45 minutes with the majority of the cook in the 282-288 range. I think I prefer them cooked at these higher temps compared to the 235-245 of my first cook of ribs and the 245-265 of my second cook of ribs. Some of it was a little...

Thanks for the input. I figured that I used to many lit for the outside temps. I'll probably try 15-20 lit next time. I usually start shutting down my vents for my rib cooks at about 225 but I got busy doing something and the temps were higher than I wanted even though they dropped pretty...

I forgot to mention I'm using a Maverick 732 with the probe mounted on the grate between the two slabs and am using a windbreak since its slightly windy. Wayne

I'm cooking two slabs of BB ribs on the WSM that I bought on CL a little while back. This is the first cook on it since I bought it. I don't think it had ever been used even though it is from the late ninties because there was no buildup on the inside at all. The bowl or middle section is...

I recently had my WSM get blown over under the carport. Luckily it had the cover on it and didn't damage anything. I moved it behind some of the other more stable grills. So far so good. Wayne

I do need to take a picture of all of the grills. My fiancee says I have way too many. I need to fire up the newest addition WSM soon. Wayne

Here are some quick pictures of my new WSM as well as the one I just got for $65. The WSM that I just got is the one with the wooden lid handle. I couldn't get very good pictures because the car was in the way and it was starting to rain again. You can see all of my other Weber...

I was looking on the local CL Friday night and saw an ad for a WSM. It said it was like new and had only been used about three times. I could tell from the pictures that it was an older version because it had the wooden handle on the lid. I tried calling many times but got no response. I...

I bought some new wingnuts and washers but I need to get three more washers as the diagram on the box shows washers on the inside and outside of the bowl. I really don't know if this will be usable though since both vents are very hard to turn. You wouldn't be able to when it got hot. I don't...
