    Beginner Using New 14.5" WSM. Any tips or recipes?

    Welcome to the forum and congrats on a fine smoker. The smaller 14.5 will definitely require a little less charcoal than the larger smokers to maintain the same temps. And loading it with the number of briqs for the 18.5 would probably overfill the charcoal ring and lead to a mound that's near...

    PizzaQue

    Not a bad deal for what's included. It provides a means for placing the pizza stone flush or just above flush with the top of the grill bottom, which is key. Then it props the kettle lid at a slight angle to create a mouth for the oven. It comes with a metal peel, which is nicer than wooden IMO...

    Busy yesterday!

    I've made all kinds of bread from scratch, but never a sourdough from my own starter. I'm familiar with the process and have intended to try it for several years, but never have. You've clearly baked a few yourself and know what you're doing, right down to the proofing basket, of which I'm sure...

    How to safely start a chimney for my 18" on a new deck

    Hi Peter, I grill and use the smoker, both on a wooden deck, and I take several precautions. First of all, whenever I use the WSM, I use a $10 auto store steel drip tray underneath. This gives me an extra layer of heat protection in addition to the WSM heat shield and also protects against...

    cut up Weber OTS to make a DIY Pizza Kettle

    Hi Jeff, Clever DIY build there, and I think it came out looking nice and clean! Also, that's a good idea about bolting a pizza pan to act as a ceiling to reduce the head-space. I embarked on a similar journey this weekend, although I was using an official Kettle Pizza. I wasn't able to get...

    RS Chicken

    I just finished eating and this is making me hungry all over again. Chicken skin looks very nice, and those little potatoes look delicious. I like the in-process photos too! Thanks for sharing.

    1200 w/Stand for $120!?

    I can't speak to the Q grills, but I think this is excellent advice. Dunno how many times I've kicked myself for failing to heed this wisdom. :)

Any questions you might have will be answered by folks who really enjoy what they are talking about. I visited the Netherlands in February on business. The cities we stayed in...

    Ramen Umami

    Fantastic, everything looks spot on. Global knife, bamboo cutting board, authentic ingredients, and beautiful photos. Love the small cups, too. Are they for tea or sake? Thanks for sharing!

    Wings 3 Wayz -OR- thank you Mr McGee

    A photo like this one is just hard to get perfect, editing or not. You've got so much brightness in the sky compared to the subject in the foreground... there are really only a few choices, and most aren't that practical. 1) Take multiple photos with different exposure settings and then merge...

    First time user, questions about snake method.

    I think you can make this method work. If you got too much heat from having the bottom vent at 50%, then try it again sometime with the vent closed to 25% or less. Keep in mind the ambient temperature and amount of sunlight radiating on the grill can both affect the internal temp a fair...

    Wings 3 Wayz -OR- thank you Mr McGee

    I'm not saying there was anything wrong with the original photo, but I took the liberty of making some adjustments to this one - I hope you won't mind. It's a great view either way, this one just shows your friend a little better. Also did not mean to hijack your thread and turn it into a...

    Wings 3 Wayz -OR- thank you Mr McGee

    Very cool photos (the one by the wildflowers is great!), and that's awesome about rescuing her from the pound, too. I have no dogs at the moment, only 3 cats, but all of them are rescues, 1 from the shelter and 2 brothers found abandoned as kittens. We rescue these wonderful pets, but they do...

    Wings 3 Wayz -OR- thank you Mr McGee

    All those wings are making me hungry, but what I really wanted to comment on - what an awesome-looking dog!

    Pizza Kettle on the Performer

    Glad I read these comments before even trying to use a KettlePizza on my Performer. If/when I get it, I'll definitely only use it on my spare 22 OTS.

    Thanks! I've been thinking about taking the plunge on one of these, and with the $25 off, I just might!
