Why not use fire bricks and remove the possibility of a problem? Most clay and or concrete ceramic products gain and lose moisture based on their environmental conditions (according to my brother who has a degree in engineering ceramics and made brick for 40 years). Your landscaping bricks...

Nopales are frequently on sale at our Texas supermarkets, but I've never tried them. But, with all the prickly pear that grows wild around here, I can't figure out why anyone would pay the grocer for 'em. I haven't tried them at home, but I've eaten them in a couple of my favorite Mexican...

I've been reading some of Jamie Purviance's books. Somewhere in them I saw where the ears, unhusked, were just placed beside the hot coals on the coal grate. The instructions were to turn and rotate them as you go. Last night I did corn on the OTG for the first time. I put 4 ears of corn...

I don't know which I like better . . . the food or the plate! Congrats! Very nicely done!

My charcoal chimney has seen a lot of newspaper for starter fuel. Since I started smoking on the Smoker Joe, I decided that I didn't want to risk getting newspaper ashes in the fire area. Then, I got this OTG 22.5 from craigslist and figured I'd be starting a lot bigger loads of coals. Again...

Thanks for the pics and the humor! That is some great lookin' grub! Now, about that fence around the garden. What are you keepin' out? Even the rabbits here in Texas would just step right over that.

Thanks for the information! <STRIKE>I'll check my OTG and my SJS tomorrow.</STRIKE> I checked and both my SJS and my OTG-22 are stamped with DT making them 2003 models. I've probably had the SJS since it was new (but it was out of box and unused when I got it). I just received the OTG last...

I bought a OTG from CL for $25. I'm in the process of cleaning it up. Somewhere - I think it was when I was trying to find a user manual to download from the Weber site - I saw reference to serial numbers and registering them. Can anyone tell me where to look for a serial number or even a...

Uh! Jeff? Have you ever heard of 12-step programs? I've heard that they are very good at helping with addictions.

Congratulations! I didn't know that the SJ ever had 3 air vents on the bottom. My modern SJS has only the one. You need to check out the thread on mini-WSM builds and see how to put extension handles on each of those covers so you don't risk burning your hand! By the way, if the sheriff...

Well done, Joel! Now you have to find an IMUSA 32 qt. tamale steamer pot (or a Vasconia SS if you are a purest) and make a Smoker Joe!

Several weeks ago, I ran across this thread on another forum: MDBoatBum's mini-WSM. That was the first time I had ever seen the idea, or heard of, a mini-WSM. In reading the OP I followed links in it. I discovered TVWBB, joined, and read all 48 pages of posts about building a mini-WS. My...

DD and SIL came for Mother's Day and brought along the Weber they picked up for me that was on CL in their neighborhood. I boasted about the find and the price a couple of weeks ago. Today I got pics. I'm showing the grill to you in 'as-delivered' condition, with questions about cleaning it...

Would like to see those pics, Mike!

Does anyone know whether or not thermometer probes from the same manufacturer are interchangeable? What about between manufacturers? IME probe wires and probes are not created equal. Even if the plugs are identical and the wires appear to be undamaged, I've found that mixing probes between...

Do you use 'em? Why are they better than, say, a piece of expanded metal bent to a L-shape? When do you use 'em? There is much I need to learn about kettle cooking.

Howdy, Rich! I was at UNC a little before you, finished in '68 in the B-School. Not (yet) a grandfather but hope springs eternal. I do make sawdust and shavings, though.
