A rite of passage. Bend it back into shape, clean it up and hit it with some high temp paint and smoke on! Pat

NICE! First the plastic - I would just take it off. I'm guessing that it originally was designed to help keep the storage compartment dry, but mine was shredded more than yours when I bought my 1992 model, so I just took it off. No harm; no foul. On the paint - you won't be able to paint the...

Word of wisdom Glenn! Knowledge condensed into usable form! What Glenn said! Pat

Don't look now Steve, but you need a bigger cart! (Very nice job! Obviously not your first carpentry effort.) Pat

Gary - don't forget about AmazingRibs.com Meathead Goldwyn's site. Tons of good information there as well. I do foil and add some additional flavors to the foil when I do it - honey, brown sugar and some spicy heat. Pat

Very Cool, Alan. He was at a contest I attended in Huntsville, AL about three years ago under much the same circumstances you describe. However, I got there Saturday morning and all the teams were starting to work on turn-ins, so I knew enough not to approach him. He had an entourage around him...

I have a Guru and have found that, particularly in warm weather, I have to cut down the amperature of the intake opening on the Guru fan/adapter to about 1/4 or maybe 1/2, otherwise, despite having the other vents closed, there still is enough air getting to the coals, without the fan even...

I've heard of folks turning in wing drummettes in contests, like the Jack Daniels, where contestants must include white meat in the turn-in box. I'm also a judge and while I haven't judged that many contests, I've seen only thighs and legs in the box, but I will say that perhaps the best single...

If you had said you got that bad boy for $75 or $100 I was going to have to drive to McDonough, GA just to smack ya! Congratulations on a serious grill! Pat

I've ordered one from Weber within the past year. I've also seen them on ebay lately. However, at the lake, I've got an old Redhead performer and I measured the length from left to right then bought an inexpensive gas grill cover at the local big box retailer. It'll keep it safe and dry until I...

What about a converter to use the 1 lb tanks? I suspect you could get a lot of lights before you would have to swap it out. I picked up a converter that lets you use a 1 lb tank with the standard hose for 20 lb tanks somewhere within the past two weeks - now I just don't remember where! Pat

Stan - I used these to make a ring for my Smokey Joe Smoker Conversion. If you use those for a ring, it will work for a short while, but the heat of the charcoal weakens and pretty much melts the thin aluminum over time. I found a strip of expanded steel at Lowe's and used it to make the ring...

Those are gorgeous redheads! And yes, it seems that Weber is letting possible product liability claims affect their procedures - and given what it costs to defend frivolous lawsuits these days and, in some cases, to pay settlements and judgements where the user's stupidity should have been a...

Part USED TO BE $65 from Weber but they don't sell them any more - probably too many people screwed up the simple disassembly and re-assembly, so the lawyers ( and I am one of that breed) got involved, so the rest is a sad history. Pat

CBJ here - I probably would go all 8's on appearance, just at first glance. The judge that gave those thighs a 6 on appearance should have gotten an visit from the contest rep..... Pat

Hey George - hope you are well. I suppose that they couldn't sell enough units with the flood of cheap, shoddily made charcoal grills flooding the market in the big box retailers. Too bad people look only at price and not at value. I have a Char Q and it is a first-rate, well-made grilling...

Super color, too. I've been thinking about ordering a bowl and lid in that color to replace the bowl and lid on my aging SS Red Performer. Congrats on a great addition to your grill family. Pat

Nice! Where in Michigan did you pick it up? My friend and fellow TVWBB poster Steve C lives near GRR and he usually snaps up any deals like that. He got is WSM for $20 when he saw it sitting outside at yard sale when he was driving down M-44. Enjoy - an appropriate color if you are a UofM fan -...

The state championship designation qualifies the winner of the competition to get a "bung" in the draw for the Jack... From the Jack Daniels BBQ Competition site: "To compete at “The Jack,” domestic teams must win a state championship with at least 25 teams or a competition of 50 teams, or win...

I have both a BGE, along with my Weber arsenal, and even a Kamado Joe ceramic cooker. Different tools for different jobs. I like the ceramics for cooks that are either low and slow OR high temp, OR direct OR indirect. Point is - once you commit to a method on the ceramic, that is pretty much it...
