    Charcoal holders vs. Charcoal dividers?

    I use the baskets both ways, for holding the charcoal inside the baskets and also as separators. It all depends on what I'm doing with my 26.75" and how I configure everything. If I want 2 baskets of charcoal all on 1 side of the kettle I use the baskets as separators since it's easier to add...

    1992 Redhead

    Really nice restoration! We like our Genesis a lot and they are built like a tank. We've had ours for about 20 years and have had it sitting outside on the deck year around without any cover and it still looks good. Only repairs we've made is replacing the flavor bars. I fully expect our Genesis...

    Smoking in Minnesota Winters

    I use my 18.5 WSM more in the winter than I do the summer. No problem with cook times, if it takes longer it's not enough to notice. I have my WSM on a wheeled plant stand so I can move it easily to get it out of the wind. Usually just outside the southeast corner of my garage (northeast end of...

    18.5 WSM rotisserie

    Thanks for the heads up, I've been wanting to get a rotisserie for my 26.75" "Pimp My Kettle" project and looked at the link for the Canjun Bandit website and noticed they have one! I've added the link to my favorites list and when I get to that part a my project the rotisserie kit is going to...

    $250 for a 22" kettle?!

    If you look at all the pictures you'll notice that it changes color, from red to blue, and then back to red. Now come on, be honest, how many of you have a kettle that changes color? That's why it costs so much, it changes color!

    The continued struggle to reach at high heat

    Chad, I still wonder if it was a windy day when you were trying to get your WSM up to higher temps. I have no problem with my WSM as long as I keep it out of direct wind. I don't wrap it or use extra charcoal, all I do is roll it around to where my garage protects it from any direct breezes and...

    Solution of Wobbly Legs on the 26

    Thanks Gary, every time I look at pictures of your modified Weber, I get an extreme case of "kettle envy". I'm hoping to be able to add some side tables to my kettle. That's another thing I forgot to add to my message above, I want to find or fabricate some side tables that can be mounted to the...

    Solution of Wobbly Legs on the 26

    The correct frame part just arrived Wednesday, so now I have the correct 2 frame parts. I also ordered the frame end plugs and have those along with some axel nuts. Next I'm going to go out and start looking for the castor wheels and the aluminum square tubing and angle that I need to reattach...

    In Place Ash Removal

    I do long smokes typically 10-14 hours with my 18.5 and have never had to add charcoal during the cook, and usually dump out the ash before I start a new cook every 2nd or third time. And this is in Wisconsin where many times I'm cooking in sub 0 degree weather without any insulating blankets...

    Brisket in an 18??

    I really like my 18.5, nothing wrong with anybody that really likes the 22.5, but man that thing is huge! I'd never need that much room for smoking meat. I chuckle when I read about people that don't want to cut or roll up their racks of ribs, I can't get it into my mouth without cutting or...

    money to burn?

    I can actually remember this poster being displayed at our local True Value store back in the 60s and 70s. I have no idea what anyone would do with it. And if as many hardware stores that stocked Weber products had this as I think there was, it may not be as rare as the seller thinks it is! And...

    Share your Turkey Plan

    I prefer applewood for turkey, the other woods mentioned except for Pecan are too strong for my poultry tastes. I save the hickory and mesquite for pork and beef. I recently tried a turkey horizontally on my 26.75" kettle and it turned out great. I just purchase a vertical turkey rack but I...

    Best time/place to buy charcoal?

    Last year Home Depot ran a good sale on Kingsford the week between X-Mas and New Years. If I remember correctly my local Depot had Kingsford twin packs at under $10.00. They had a very limited supply and it was gone quickly, but I got some!

    What's wring with this picture?

    I would think that the doctor who fills out the form for the handicap parking permit would know if the handicap would prohibit someone from being able to drive safely. I just don't think the handicap parking permit indicates anything as far as how well you can drive, no matter what you are...

    Solution of Wobbly Legs on the 26

    Well the parts arrived late Thursday and unfortunately 1 of the parts sent was wrong. I ordered a bottom frame and top frame along with some other pieces but was sent 2 bottom frames. So the duplicate is going back and hopefully the correct frame part will be sent in it's place. The customer...

    Brisket in an 18??

    I've never understood the idea of buying the 18.5" or 14.5" charcoal ring to use in the 22.5" WSM to reduce charcoal use? Why not just use less charcoal? Does the size of the ring help in some way? What would happen if you use the standard 22.5" ring in the 22.5" WSM only with less charcoal?
