I have a weed burner - attaches to a 20 lb propane tank - and it will light charcoal FAST. I have another device that uses 1 lb tanks. Its about 2.5 feet long and does a good job. I use it mostly with my Kamado Joe since I can light the lump in 4 places in 4 minutes and its ready to go in about...

That is a thing of beauty. The table itself seems to be rather similar to the BGE table I have plans for. Hmmmm...... he starts to think to himself! Very Nice, Jeff. Pat

P Mata - upload some pics so we can diagnose better! You didn't mention if you are using a rub or are injecting the meat - those things could affect the taste and texture - and appearance - of your meat. Also, are you talking about pork shoulder (picnics and butts) or some other cut of pork...

Gary - I can't ever find a Q140 at a price that I am willing to pay. I have an old Char Broil Toolbox type electric grill that I picked up at a yard sale for $10 that I use when it is pouring rain. I have read good reviews of the "Patio Bistro" electric grill. It looks kinda like a slimmed down...

Try Phil Hartcher's direct/indirect method - direct for a short period - maybe 5 - 10 minutes, then remove the ribs, put down a sheet of aluminum foil then put a second grill grate - I use a cooling rack, on top of the foil, elevated either by the little v-shaped legs on the second rack or by...

Yeah, I once got a nasty burn on the bottom of my forearm reaching down and across to close the vent on my OTG. It gets HOT! One of the interesting phenomena with my red Performer is that when it gets really rip roaring hot, the grill changes color from red to brown, then back again when it...

Wonder if the guys at Cajun Bandit could fabricate you a set of legs for the 26" kettle that would lower the grill like the Cajun Bandit modification for the 22" kettle? Pat

George - if its got wooden handles, that dates it at quite a few years old - the newer ones have the plastic handles. I bought a Go Anywhere charcoal grill once for $10 just to get the three wooden handles! Good score. Pat

I asked that question of Weber and the response was "No." Since the grills are porcelain enameled, paint by and of itself doesn't "fix" dents and chips. Most folks that touch up old grills use high heat engine enamel or brake paint. I've used that on my red and my yellow. I've not cooked on the...

I have one of these that is at least 40 years old. Mine is orange, although the paint is faded. They do tend to last forever and the cook well. Mine is at my parents house and I alternate between it and the Smokey Joe Platinum I have my dad a couple years ago. But here's the question - why not...

I continue to be amazed at people's creativity and ingeunity. This is an amazing build. I could see a UDS Pizza oven in the making with a little imagination and a few shots of Gentleman Jack greasing the creative process. Well done! Pat

Do yourself a favor and order Gary Wiviott's book "Low and Slow" and complete the "course" to make yourself a BBQ/Smoking Master! You'll be glad you did and have a blast doing it! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...N/0762436093/tvwb-20 Congratulations on the new cooker! Pat

Ya gotta be flexible in your plans! Hope the pork is fantastic. Pat

What's with all of these women saying we have too many grills? I'll bet they don't think they have too many shoes! Pat (Ducking as a high heeled pump flys past his ear)

Had that problem once with mine when I left all of the vents open as I saw recommended somewhere. Since then, I've always stored my WSM outside, covered with a contractor's clean up bag,with the vents closed and I've never had that problem here in steamy Alabama. As for how to rid the grill of...

My 1992 Model SS Performer (REDHEAD). I've got all of these wonderful grills and I really enjoy using them and getting to know all of their peculiarities, but when I'm doing a cook that just absolutely, positively has to be right, I always find myself uncovering my time-tested, battle proven...

A resourceful man! Good job! Pat

Wolgast and George, I hear ya on the XL Oval. My Kamado Joe was a gift from a client, but my goal is to trade up to the Primo XL Oval, for the reasons both of you express. Pat

For dinners where my daughter is home, I usually cook either Porterhouse or chuck eyes - the filet portion of the Porterhouse goes to the daughter and I eat the strip side of the Porterhouse. I buy Certified Angus Beef delivered by Buckhead Beef in Atlanta to my local Piggly Wiggly. I don't find...

Anthony - I have a Kamado Joe (ceramic grill, same size as the BGE large) as well as a Small and mini BGE. They are excellent cookers, and do double duty as a smoker and grill. One thing the Performer does better than the BGE is give you the ability to build and use a two-zone fire. Because...
