    Any cool grill accessory boxes out there?

    Hit up some flea markets... I think an old (not pristine) steamer trunk or something of the like would look pretty cool.

    Any cool grill accessory boxes out there?

    Maybe he can start THIS year by leaving some of his grilling tools and such in inconvenient places around the house. "Honey, if only we had a convenient place to store all this stuff..." :)

    Any cool grill accessory boxes out there?

    Do you still have the Coke box that you liked? Maybe you could somehow modify that to be more rain-resistant?

    Day Tripper

    Great photos Robert! My family took a road trip there in about 1993, and I loved it. Your photo of the Old Faithful Lodge brought back instant memories. So many cool sights there! I really want to go back... Thanks for sharing!

    Any cool grill accessory boxes out there?

    I use something kind of like this, though it wasn't as pricey. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Keter-Rockwood-150-gal-Deck-Box-214301/204355374 I have this on my deck and use it to store Tiki tabletop candles, smoke wood, pellets for the A-Maze-N smoker tube, welding gloves, gloves I use for...

    Is the Mini Chimney Starter discontinued?

    Still being sold on Amazon right now, but only through 3rd party seller at a price hike. Maybe Amazon is just out of them at the moment? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00L59GYMI/tvwb-20 Only $11 at Home Depot...

    My humble opinion on lump charcoal

    Hey Enrico, What brand(s) of lump do you buy in Italy? Are the pieces generally larger or smaller than a Kingsford briquette? I like lump a lot for grilling, never tried it for smoking. My biggest beef with the brands of lump I've used is the inconsistency of size in the pieces. There will...

    First Pork Butt - Questions

    I think the dimensions you listed sound pretty normal, though I usually buy bone-in, as those are readily available for me, and I like the way the bone-in butts hold their shape without tying them. Cooking time to reach a particular internal temp is more related to the surface/mass ratio of the...

    First Pork Butt - Questions

    My method is very, very similar to Steve's here. My last butt cook was 2 bone-in butts that were about 8.4 lbs each before trimming. My cooker temp was pretty much rock solid @ 240-260 for 13 hours, at which time I pulled them with internal temps of 197-200. Then a 15-20 minute rest before...

    I think we've read some of the same articles over on WKC. :)

    Simple Wednesday Dinner

    Awesome looking cook! Fried plantains are delicious! I've never thought of making just 1 ABT, but why not? They don't have to be just for parties... Great job on this!

    Looks tasty Clint! The Arizona Dreaming is from your recent Penzeys order, right? How did you like all the goodies you ordered?

    performer deluxe question

    Scott, no it doesn't sit off-level enough to cause problems. Again, I am speaking about the Weber roti-ring, not the Cajun Bandit one. Even the seal isn't really an issue, but if you're anal like me, you can see that the roti is sitting about 1/4" - 1/2" higher on the side with the lid bale...

    added a 22

    Congrats on the 22! I like your patio and garden as well! :wsm: Did the access door fit well out of the box?

    Has anyone here ever tried Coshell? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003Z0C10O/tvwb-20

    Pizzaque arriving today

    It took me two attempts to get something I was reasonably happy with, but I'm a tough critic of my own work. I think the biggest thing you'll want to try to avoid on your first shot is to not burn them. In my first attempt, I didn't have enough heat, and I overcompensated on my second attempt...

    performer deluxe question

    One thing I've noticed on my 2015 Performer... The Weber rotisserie has small cutouts that are supposed to provide clearance for the bolts that attach the lid bale to the Performer charcoal bowl. Since the 2015 Performer has the improved lid bale, the screws are not in exactly the same spot as...

    Pizzaque arriving today

    Hey Matt, Here's a couple opinions from me, but you know what they say about opinions... If you have it or can find it, I prefer using semolina to cornmeal. The semolina acts sort of like a bunch of ball bearings, to help the pizza slide easily off the peel. Cornmeal does the same thing, but...

    New BBQ Books for 2015

    I own Secrets to Smoking, and while I think it's quite a nice book, I will say that it's mostly recipes after page 17. For those who love the Franklin book for its discussion of theory instead of being a collection of recipes, Secrets may not be for you. There is a a very general overview and...
