    2020 Gas Models Information?

    Long time Weber user. I have two Weber Smoky Mountains and an old Genesis Silver B. The gasser has been in 3 different countries now - USA, Switzerland and now the UK. It is time for me to get a new Weber gas grill. Will there be new features / models in 2020? Any announcements yet? The reason...

    Strap bolts stripped - ideas?

    I am trying to install some new, custom straps on my Weber 57 cm (22 incher). I have six years of grease and rust and the nuts and bolts weber uses are crap. So screws are stripped. I knew that would be the case... I have broken several bolt extractors and coated them in WD40. Any other...

    Using both a 14.5 and 18.5 Charcoal Chamber for Fuse Method

    I currently use heavy duty "kiln bricks" when I want to use the "Fuse Method" in my 18.5 WSM. I do this as it is easier (for me) to stack the charcoal higher and it does not fall down in the middle. I do wonder if the bricks are both good and bad? (1) They do a great job of absorbing and...

    Source for WSM 22" custom straps? Lower water pan...

    I am interested in lowering my water pan and adding a 3rd shelf. I can take my exisiting straps to a local metal shop and likely get what I need done.

    4 Packer Cut Briskets on WSM 22"?

    Thanks for the input. It is supposed to be terrible weather on Saturday, which is always a challenge with high winds and rain. The added mass defintely concerns me. My plan is to smoke them for a good 8-10 hours. Then move them inside at midnight. If I startat 1600, that should be "enough"...

This year, I just have my 22 WSM but think I can get 4 packers on it. I use soup cans on my bottom rack and then plan to use a smaller...

    How many whole chickens?

    I am having a large party at my place and want to cook multiple whole chickens. I will probably rig up an extra shelf between the top and bottom shelves to give me another rack. I have a WSM 22.5. I am thinking I can get at least 12 chickens in there and I will monitor temp of the chickens...

    Condensation inside WSM?

    Hi folks, First, great site and great forum - so helpful to have. Big thanks to all involved with it... I live in the UK and get a ton of water inside my WSM between uses. I have a proper cover on it so I am guessing it is condensation from the WSM heting up and then colling down in the humid...
