Very, very happy with the gateway hanger in my 22". Here's my thought process - one of the big benefits of hanging is the ability to cook a TON of ribs. I did 8 racks last weekend and it was getting tight. No way would they have fit in the 18 without being a lil too close

If I had to pick - grill for sure. I have the older style griddle which has a lip to direct grease which is placed on top of the grates. I like it a lot. One thing to keep in mind is you need some airflow up from the bottom - this is why the weber griddles are notched so you can put two in...

I searched and couldn't find any info on this - if not allowed, certainly delete. Discord is a live chatroom, basically a way to choot the sh*t and discuss daily stuff that doesn't fit in a "forum" environment. In that context, it's not intended to drive traffic or dilute the forums - more of...

I have two of Q100's, love them, however I now could really use a cart (actually two). It seems like they are no longer made by Weber. I see them sometimes on cragslist/facebook but it's always along with the grill itself. Any tips ?

Yep - I misread your post. Sorry Tom

I've read that one of the main reasons for hanging is to allow the drippings to hit the coals. I know my preferred method for ribs is without any pan/etc at all

Couple things - I really like cooking "raised direct" IE no water pan or anything separating the meat and the fire. This allows the fat to drip right onto the coals creating a very "authentic/old school" flavor that is pretty different from indirect. Hanging is the most authentic way to do this...

Hmm.. That really limits the height quite a bit.... I'm planning on doing 9 racks for a get together. I guess I need to do a dry run first. Also a little concerned about that much grease building up in the fire/bowl

I'm super excited for my hanging setup for the 22" wsm. There's one thing I've read and seen on youtube that seems like it's 50/50 With ribs, you have a "thin" end and a "thick" end. Some folks hook the thin end, the thought is that the thicker end is closer to the fire and needs a little more...

I have a ~2009 (updated model) 18" and had some real problems finding a lower grate. Weber no longer had them available period. They weren't sold at home depot or my local hardware stores. Yes you can use a kettle charcoal grate but those aren't plated. This was about a year ago. For awhile I...

The real benefit of water is as the smoker goes above the boiling point (212f) the water pretty aggressively "sucks" extra energy to boil water. This makes water a pretty fool proof way of keeping temps down around 212f - so if you're new to smoking and vent control, you still turn out a decent...

I just picked up a 22" and it is BIG. I mean really big. Visually it's obviously wider but also taller. I planned to sell the 18" but I think I'm going to keep the 18" on the patio and only drag out the 22" when needed.

I actually have a rib hanging set up arriving tomorrow. Regarding thermal mass, I don't move my smokers around that much, so even if it only helps a tiny bit I still think it's worth it. I use a couple pounds of ceramic briquettes with the pan (covered in foil) on top. It makes clean up super...

I just picked up a 22" WSM, and I'm surprised at how the lower grate basically sits directly on the water pan. Versus my 18" where there is a bit of an air gap. I don't use water, and with my 18" I used a tray to cover the water pan. I don't think that will work on the 22", as there will be...

I have a pitmaster iq120 that I really like. However, I only have the attachment for my egg. I was pretty shocked to find that a WSM adapter from pitmaster iq will cost me $35 shipped. It looks like a simple stainless bowl with an adapter nipple. One thing I don't like, is the 'butterfly'...

FYI - for anyone checking this, at least on my ~2009 WSM, this grate is very slightly too small to use on the lower level. It's possible for it to slide off one of the 4 supporting legs. It's usable but not ideal.

The regulators on those are known to go bad all the time. I would try removing the hose and using a small bottle. Also look at the Q forum sticky for instructions on making sure the overflow valve isn't tripping. That being said, my q100s don't have exactly huge flames when running perfectly...

Nothing here, plz delete Never mind, please delete

Check craigslist for a jumbo joe. Spend a few weeks checking twice a day and I'm sure you can find one. Much more portable, slightly smaller, and you won't cry if it gets destroyed while camping. And best of all it would be cheaper than buying legs for your performer kettle.

Also check the screen on the part of the burner that goes over the regulator. It can be cleaned with a toothbrush. I would use a push pin and clear out the orifice as well. Your flames look similar to my q100s, it can be q bit misleading. As LM said, the grate itself retains a lot of heat so...
