    Alternative to Mav.........

    Which Maverick ? I have ET-732 and it has been awesome so far. If I were to step up I would take a look at the Thermaworks offering....their Thermapen is the bee's knees. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/handheld/TW8060.html Pricey, tho.

    First Mini finally finished

    Nicely done !! I think your diffuser suspension solution is the best option. I like the idea of retaining the top, standard height grate position. How did you arrive at - 4-1/4" for your mid grate elevation (height) ?

    Stock (starting 2014) Weber Grommets

    I wasn't too excited about punching an 1-1/4" diameter hole so I went with a different grommet that uses a smaller hole. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?51120-Therm-Port-for-Pre-2014-WSM

    Which type of finish for an grill table?

    Agree with Terry.... 1) Redwood has enough natural color, no need to stain. In fact people stain lesser woods to look like redwood. 2) Use a clear urethane or spar varnish designed for boats/marine environment and it will provide the durability that you need.

    The bottom vents

    My ,marks are almost identical to this. 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 are close together and full open is a bit away, if you observe the damper blades while moving the handle. Marking the ash ring like this is indispensable, IMO.....I use it all the time.

    Rolling Ribs

    I wouldn't try the roll/unroll/roll thing....seems like they get locked up in the coil position. I did some last night rolled, snipped off the bamboo skewers and then wrapped, then uncovered with sauce for the finish. As the others have said, the 3-2-1 method is optimized for spares and needs...

    Running Thermometer Wires

    If you are cool with monkeying around with threading cables through vents/ports go for it. However, the slot is the most convenient and user-friendly solution. If you're not comfortable with slotting, get a gasket kit and leave a small gap in the gasket where you want to run your cables. The...

    Which analog thermometer for 18.5" WSM

    The Weber 63028 is "smoker graduated". The Tel Tru BQ100 is "grill graduated". I have the 63028 on my 18.5 WSM and a BQ100 on my 22.5 OTG. Also have a Maverick ET-732 and a Thermapen. Pick of the litter is the Thermapen. It is also the most expensive :eek:

    Indirect Heat on a Weber 18.5"

    On my 22.5 I get about 6 hours at around 225°F using full baskets, lit at opposite ends. I get kind of a "Minion Effect" doing this. I light the coal in the baskets using 70% rubbing alcohol. I'll have some coal left over that I recycle. I don't think that the baskets (Weber sheet metal...

    To soak or not to soak

    Yep, this is how I see it. But different strokes for different folks. Similar to the water/no water in the water pan controversy. Do what works best for you. I'll add this... I'm a woodstove user...burn about two cords a season. I want a clean burn and want my firewood seasoned and as bone...

    Charcoal Chimney

    I use a paver. Lately though, using the kettle I light directly in the Weber sheet metal baskets....good routine. Also, whether chimney or baskets, I've been using rubbing alcohol 70% for my lighter fluid....works well. No newspaper smoke and fly ash. $2.00 for a quart at Walton's Market.

    Replace hose on q100

    I agree with the above poster....do not use hose clamps on propane/gas fittings. If the actual Weber part is too expensive in your area, you may be able to find a generic replacement hose. It may also be possible to have a hose "made up" at an industrial hose shop. These shops make up...

    Which pizza stone?

    I think mine is from Pampered (Paupered) Chef, but I saw a nice one at Walton's Market for cheap the other day.

    To soak or not to soak

    No soak. It's an official memo. Do not soak. I repeat, do not soak.
