    got the 26 but........

    I seen a DVD at a store recently on WEBER products and their stringent product quality controls and that all products are visually checked for imperfections before packed and dispatched. So it makes you wonder if somebody was just being a slacker that day that yours went through or something is...

    Bad customer service

    Thanks for the Invite Tim,I'd love to be involved in anything involving BBQ. I beleive that most businesses are pretty darn good but unfortunately there are some that make you wonder why they are still in Business and as I explained earlier we have Government protection here in Australia...

    Bad customer service

    Sorry to hear that you've been given the run-a-round with Weber and bad service because in my opinion, there is no excuse for it. Down here in Australia, we have a government department called 'Dept. of Fair Trading' and if you have a problem with a business over product or service, you make an...

    Beef Tenderloin on the Performer

    Brandon,looks like you did good there with that tenderloin although a little too red for me it looks very juicy. When you mentioned about your temps creeping up on the Performer, I wouldn't worry too much unless it was a very dramatic rise but keep in mind that the temp inside the top of the lid...

    Brine for wings

    g'day folks, I experimented with brining for the first time last weekend using 4 chicken drumsticks (part of the chicken leg that's shaped like a drumstick) I think you guys refer to them as thighs, anyway, my wife is very salt sensitive so I allowed her to marinate her 4 drumsticks the way she...

    New to me Q200 anything I need to do to is right away?

    Relax Bob, for a good quick steak or burger or anything you want to throw on the little Q grill can be grilled beautifully without the need for a thermo guage. Just start it on high for about 10 minutes or so with the lid down untill you can see it really smoking out the sides...then it is hot...

    New Spirit Design?

    G'day Chris,I hope you don't think that I'm suggesting that the Spirit is cheap quality even though it may be made in China. I've seen these Weber Spirits here in Australia and they match for quality to some of the other better brands here such as BEEFEATER & EVERDURE grills. Horses for courses...

    New Spirit Design?

    I guess it's Weber's way of trying to compete with the uneducated end of the market where the mighty dollar decides on purchase power rather than quality.That's not to sound snobbish at all but after years of buying cheaper and inferior products, I too have learnt theres no substitute for...

    Performer gas assist issues

    I tend to think that Weber may be best to have a good look at those regulators they use for the performer gas starter because I had to have mine replaced only after 3-4 months after purchase from brand new. I will point out that Weber service was very good and nothing was a problem and had it...

    Q100 vs other Qs

    I reckon it'd be a real battle drawing up a work roster at that place because everyone will be wanting to work the Saturday when Phil cooks. As for starting up your own BBQ classes, I don't think it'd be a problem for you. Maybe you can ask the place you demonstrate if you could also use that...

    1965 Weber Ranger update...SOLD!

    That's a really nice looking Kettle you got there, but I'm sure if your twins knew what it is supposed to be used for,I don't reckon they'd be wanting to sit in there LOL. Cheers Davo

    Weber Disaster

    G'day Trev, Firstly mate,the retail store is bound by consumer law to honour the products they sell and should be the people you go to as they represent/sell products which they buy from companies such as Weber.The stores can't just fob you off like that and I usually tell them that and if need...

    Q100 vs other Qs

    Hi there Jay & congratulations and welcome to the world of Q cooking.You certainly have the correct surname for it LOL. As I explained a little before that I have the little baby Q120 which is the Q100 with the side table flaps which are very useful for putting on light plates of food ready...

    Weber Disaster

    Hi there Trevor, Sorry to hear of your dissapointing experience with your new Q and I know how frustrating it can be. If I remember correctly, I'd say you're here in Australia. I'm in Sydney and recently when I bought a new Weber Performer, the gas starter venturo acted up and I couldn't get...

    salty problem

    Thankyou everyone for your advice and contribution.....wow...now I KNOW where I went wrong....I must've read the 'T' wrong. I do tend towards salty foods due to the fact I've been a smoker for the best part of my life and I have to have strong tasting foods to give me a kick along too...

    salty problem

    The salt enhances the flavour.(quote from Phil H.) Exactly Phil!! Salt is a very important ingredient but it seems that I've been putting salt with other ingradients that are also salty such as worcestershire sauce and then i grate some salt on the surface just before i put it on the grill...

    salty problem

    Hi there folks, I've been around on these forums now since early this year and have noticed many speak about the amount of salt they put on their meat wether it is in a rub, brining or just before they slap it on the grill. Yesterday I made some burgers to cook on the performer and I did put...

    Grill cleaning

    Hi Trevor, I have the baby Q120 and use it at least 4 times a week and it can get a bit greasy and even wire brushes can't get everything off between the grill bars and the grease also likes to hang down under the grill grates as well. I generally take the grill bars out every 3 months or so...

    Q100 vs other Qs

    Hi there Jay, Phil is pretty much the one to look to when it comes to weber Q's as he probably uses his Q220 more than all the other umpteen BBQs he owns(slight exageration but not by much hehehe) I can however give you some insight to the Q100/120 as I've owned a Q120 (which is a 100 with...

    Roadside Chicken

    Hi folks, I re-read my previous post above and felt that it sounded a bit critical & possibly abrupt. I hope that isn't the way others interpreted it. As I stated, the mrs is very salt sensitive which kinda makes it hard for me when I make BBQ because I have to make 2 seperate batches because...
