    what would your ideal grill be ( charcoal of course ) mine?

    I kind of like separate grills for more flexibility. I can move them around and configure as I want depending on what I'm preparing. One thing that I always need is "counter space." The other thing that comes to mind is that the 22 is not quite big enough for some of the things I like to cook...

    Talk me into (though too) rebuilding my old Genisis

    Others have provided good advice. I suspect the regulator if there is no gas flow. You might also need to replace the tank if it is outdated. If it has the older quick connect, I think that would also require a new regulator and hose assembly which Weber sells for about $25 or $30. An igniter...

    Tried Grilled Bananas?

    I've done them a couple of times on a gas grill with heavy CI grate. I've used a sauce recipe from Raichlen which consists of carmelized sugar to which coconut milk has been added. They're sticky and hard to turn but come out pretty good. I'm sure they would have been great with good vanilla...

    Adjusting the flame

    A yellow flame means not enough air for the gas that's flowing. Ron's recommendations are good (except that a plugged gas orifice is unlikely as that would result in insufficient gas and might not even be enough to burn.) The air shutters can be adjusted but Weber recommends not to. Once set at...

    leftover ribs, my new favorite

    Do not foil them if they're going into the microwave! =8-O Other than that, I'm hard pressed to say one way is better than another. Some times I microwave them. Other times I'll put them in a cast iron pan with a lid and then put the pan on low heat until they're ready. Either way they're good.

    leftover ribs, my new favorite

    It's usually just SWMBO and me unless we have company. Baby backs come three to a cryovac pack and we cannot even finish one rack. The arithmetic is pretty clear. I refrigerate some and freeze the rest. They're great reheated. I just found some in the freezer last night and will have them for...

    Butcher messed up...how should i adjust tonights smoke???? PICS ADDED!!

    Smaller butts will finish sooner. Cook time depends on the size of the pieces of meat, not the total weight in the smoker. (More total weight will probably take longer, but that's not the situation you are asking about.) Smaller butts will also have more surface area to adsorb smoke so you can...

    Pork Butt Injections.

    Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. That sounds like a great recipe and I'll be using it - at the least as a starting point - the next time I smoke pulled pork. I'm in the same camp as you WRT sweetness. I tried the BRITU recipe and while the ribs came out very good, they...

    Help me order beef ribs..

    Around here I get "beef back ribs." Most stores have them in racks of about 4 ribs each about 8" or so long. Cooked they look like: And served: In fact, I've been asked to make them Saturday when family comes over and I might make them on Sunday too for my fishing buddy. I'm...

    Ready-to-use-homemade chicken broth

    Hi Rita, I freeze in 1 C and 3 C disposable containers. If I need less than what's in the container, I thaw it for a bit in the microwave. I find that the entire thing gets soft enough so that I can use a knife or spoon to cut the mostly frozen block up to get what I need. The rest goes back...

    Performer > OTG ?

    I have an older Platinum - similar to the Performer but without the charcoal bin and propane starter. I love having the table and I like the older platinum with a single larger side table. Keep your chimney. I'm sure it will work great with the propane starter in the performer. I use a propane...

    New Weber SP-320 owner

    Hi Joseph, Sounds like a great deal. Welcome to TVWBB! I'm sure you'll cook a lot of great meals using this grill. I have a side burner on an old Coleman propane grill and I keep it around because it works so well for lighting charcoal in a chimney. I can't recall if I ever cooked anything on...

    q's and plastic

    When I cleaned up my Q, I removed the bottom clam shell from the frame. I almost didn't notice the little spacers that separate the mounting lugs on the shell from the plastic frame. They reduce thermal conduction to the bolt itself. The bolt will conduct heat, of course, but a lot less than...
