Here is how I do it. Doesn’t have to be exact. All you are trying to do is help take some of the prolonged strain off the motor. You also need to work quickly because I do this with a hot grill right when I am ready to turn it on to cook. I put rod in place without the motor and let it...

Looks really good. Smoked chuck has become a real favorite at my house. Just seems to be so much more forgiving than brisket to get right.

You did a great job. Looks really good.

Depending on how much of the fat cap they left, it could be challenging but can be done. Personally, I would run it up to an internal temp of around 165-175 then foil and finish and don't try to get too tender at the end. Preventing overcooking will be the biggest challenge. A long resting...

Zipper peas are a type of field pea similar to crowders or black eyed peas - true Southern comfort food. Zippers are our favorite because they have a very mild taste and creamy texture. Thanks everyone for the compliments. Every now and then we all need a good dose of comfort food. Made this...

Smoked a chuck roast yesterday in the mini WSM and made pulled beef. Today it was the star added into a mushroom gravy over garlic mashed potatoes with zipper peas on the side. Good eats.

Not sure what your initial investment is or the current condition of the grill itself, but it certainly would be a candidate to be refurbished especially if the frame and firebox are in good shape. The Summit line uses stainless steel internal parts, but time, weather and lack of good cleaning...

Definitely by touch. Here is a good guide if you are not familiar with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8YQX-QgbXc

I am with Jarrod. I just drilled holes and use a pan setting on a trivet as my defuser. I have to right to get my temps up to 300 but it runs rock steady anywhere between 225-275 for its entire load of fuel. But for what I use it for, this is a great problem to have because I don't make...

Great looking paint job.

Sorry. These things happen. The grill can be repaired or replaced, but not your daughter. Surprised that your safety sensor didn't stop the door before it did big damage.

Chad - your build really looks great. Do you have any pictures of it after painting? If it is anything like the quality of your build, I am sure it will look great.

Although it is not a one for one match, the Performer Silver took the place of the One Touch Platinum.

It has been a while since I did anything on planks. You have definitely inspired me to pull out some planks and give it a shot again in the near future because those chops looks awesome.

Absolutely agree. Delayed our holiday celebration until today and had burgers also. Awesome. One thing that really moves burgers to the next level is making your own buns. I have started doing that and don't think my family will ever eat another store bought bun again. I use a basic no...

Congratulations on a great first cook. Have a feeling there will be many more to follow.

I am assuming from your parts list that you plan on using your thermometer primarily as a backup to your digital. Regardless, the only advice I can give you is to get the shortest stem possible and think through the positioning so that it will not interfere with emplacing and removing the lower...

Can't say that I disagree with your decision to not retrofit but want to make sure you know that the old style sweep assembly doesn't matter as far as conversion goes. The handle aligns with the slot on the new ring. The only time the old style assembly has an impact is if you have something...

I am actually going through this right now installing one of the new ash rings onto an older Performer but the same basic information applies. Here is a picture of the new style ring on the left and the old style ring on the right. The new style is what you will be mounting. As you can see...

Next to positive you are correct. I do not think that the 18.5 OTG is being offered in the US any longer either, only in the OTS. It is a very practical size, although I have to admit mine does not get near the use of the 22.5's. On the plus side, you can really get some great searing temps...
