Colder temps are coming. Flower pot bottoms are more efficient in the colder temps. This is the time that I'm not using water. You will notice a difference.

Yes, it would be easier to put the vent on first and then drill the holes, but, initially, I didn't want to take the stop tabs off to do that. However, I ended up taking them off later to get a better fit.

It's not a smokey joe. I saw the grill in the camping section of Dick's Sporting goods. It had an ash catcher like the large kettles do. THe ash catcher was enclosed. It also had four legs not three. There was one side vent in the kettle. There was also one vent in the lid. Looks like it...

I just was at a sporting goods store and saw a weber charcoal grill portable with an air vent on the side and an ash catcher on the bottom just like the larger models. Is this new?

Did you compare the distance between the charcoal grate and cooking grate of a smokey joe silver?

Nice work. Good pictures.

Roadside chicken has some similarties with Paul Dean's "Daddy's Tangy Grilling Sauce" which is as follows: 1 cup Worcestershire sauce; 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted; 2 lemons, juiced. Anybody try it this way?

Thanks guys.

I do make my own from time to time but I like try different rubs that have been successful to see what I like or not like about them.

I've tried Butt Rub and Texas BBQ Rub. I found both to be excellent. I'm looking for a new outstanding bbq rub. Can anyone kindly give me the names of some other high quality rubs. Thanks Mike B.

Jerry, Home Depot should carry a weber replacement therm for $15.00 that I used through a cork in the top vent for a long time without problems. Ace Hardware may also carry this. You should also find a cheap meat therm at a local supermarket in the cooking utensils ailse without difficulty...

I purchased and use these gloves too. Two comments: first, if you have big hands they are a little on the small side. Second, they are not melt proof. I accidentally touched a very hot part of a rotesserie grill and it burned into the rubber. It did, however, protect my hands. Overall, they...

Jerry, You can find a cheap temporary thermometer just about anywhere, including home depot. Just put therm in vent in top or through a cork in vent in top. If you are not using a therm you are basically cooking "blind" and must go by feel. I wouldn't have a clue as to how long your cook...

TJ, My best guess is that it will take 1 to 1.5 hours to get the temp in the cooker to 225. Maybe Steve can tell us how long it will take. I probably wouldn't bother to flip or rotate until 10 hours into the cook, at which time I would baste with apple juice. Pork butt is very difficult to...

If you're doing minion, with warm tap water in pan, 4 butts at room temperature, and vents open at 100 per cent, probably 1 hour, but more than one hour if above variables change.

Fortunately, the brisket came out great. Thanks for the great tip...I'll have to remember that for the next time. Fork tender at the flat means it's cooked. Thanks again. Mike

Craig, Thanks. I noticed that the point was more tender than the flat and the point registered higher temps than the flat - 195. The point also is more fork tender than the flat. Does that mean that I overcooked or undercooked the flat? Mike

I have a 9-10 lb butt over an 11 lb brisket. Put them on last night at 9:45 p.m.. Just took a reading, the butt is 172, the brisket is 168. The pressure is on. People are counting on me not to have a dry brisket. Temps were averaging 225. I just put brisket on top and butt on bottom rack for...

Brad, The therms you listed go up to 220 degees F. I would suggest that the therm be able to measure higher temps at least to 500 degreees for the times that you want to do higher temp cooks such as turkey.

Brad, I have the weber replacement therm through a guru eyelet on the top grill strap hole, held in place with a cork on the inside of the wsm. I have no problems with this therm. It's cheap and accurate. You need to watch out for the diameter of the therm which must be smaller than the...
