I have a bunch of cheap spray bottles from Home Depot. These almost certainly are not food grade. Anyone have any experience/opinions whether this is OK? I would think it would be fine as long as I am not storing long term, but would be curious to get opinions. Thanks.....

Hi... I have cooked both with water and empty pan. I have seen suggestions for cleanup regarding pouring fat that has run into the pan and mix with ashes for easier cleanup. Silly question, but has anyone ever tried putting some ashes (maybe from a previous cook) in the pan before a cook so...

Thanks everyone. I figured you would have to work hard to choke off air flow and its good to hear that you can load up as long as you have enough charcoal. I do keep the top vent open all the time and tweak the bottom. Gene do you use minion method? I have been using that and just using...

I have noticed often people post pics of loads of BBQ in their WSM. I dont usually have to cook so much at once however was curious if you cook for a crowd or want to load up your WSM to the max, what is the limit on each rack so airflow is not so limited? What adjustments do you need if there...

I use firebricks like Chris does to separate my hot and cool zones. They were like $3. Not sure what size Chris purchased but mine dont fit quite a well and need to overlap them.

I also start with a plastic putty knife, but on my 22.5 kettle. For stubborn stuff I will use a brush or even flat screwdriver CAREFULLY. Not a scratch, but if it did, the grease would cover it quickly anyways.

I have a ton of all-clad and highly recommend bar keepers friend as other have already done. A couple of other ways to clean it that I find helpful. Boil some water in it and try to scrape it with a wooden spatula. Then use bar keepers friend. Lastly I find Magic Eraser works well even...

I was thinking of making Pastrami and noticed the article here on the bullet on how to do this. I am curious whether anyone has tried both the curing/corning recipe listed here and the Cook's Illustrated. If so, any thoughts on comparison of results? The mixture of spices is certainly...

Hi all, Yesterday, I after years of cooking on my One-Touch Silver Kettle, I decided to clean it really well and scrape off some of that buildup that had layered over the years over the porcelain. There was a enough of a buildup to have bent the fins such that there is now a gap between the...

Thanks again everybody... Re Rich and Mark, no worries. I was a little reluctant to post before posting such a question, so was probably already a little testy myself. Thought better safe than sorry, oh well Off to do a few ribs for fathers day. Thanks again

Thanks everyone for the feedback and help

Yes I am serious. It was leaned up against a big gorilla rack in the garage. Only one portion was touching the cement since it was leaning vertically against the rack, but smelled that the cat had peed in that area after getting locked in there for the night by accident. I usually just put it...

Hi... After cleaning the WSM weeks ago, I put the grate in the garage on the floor which we later found out the cat had peed. Is this even safe to use after cleaning or should I just throw it out and buy a new one? Its still in great shape so I hate to throw it out but also dont want to be...

Hi... I was wondering if anyone has used the "Magic Eraser" for cleanup. I have used this to clean the grates on my WSM and it works well. I tried it recently on a spot on the water bowl and it seemed to work OK. Anyone know of any issues or have using this especially on the porcelain...

My humble opinion would be to do separate. Would highly recommend brining as well so they dont dry out. Tenderloin is very lean.

Hey Bob, That does look fantastic. I hope it tasted as good as it looks.

I actually did a pork centerloin last weekend. Came great. I didnt use a recipe and kind of winged it but here is what I did. -Brine roast for a day - Full chimney of coal banked to one side. I use firebricks to separate. - Sear center pork loin on all sides with lid off rotating until fully...

Hey Max... I too have both the kettle and WSM. I completely expect the kettle to leak more than the WSM. The odd thing is that I have had this kettle for years and it has always extinguished the coals. Im am a bit too frugal at times and I do actually save the charcoal. Sometimes I will...

Hi Phil, Thanks on all fronts. Those are some really good ideas. We have a ways to go here, but fortunately we are far enough inland that I dont think we will feel the full force of the storm. It is still pretty windy already and lots of rain. Thanks again both for the well wishes and the...
