They say allis well that ends well. I'm not so sure. That cook kicked my butt. My Weber 26.75 kettle simply refused to stay between 300 and 350 (not unless it wason the way up to 425 or down to 200). Took it off at 125. Let it sit on my gas grill, which I got down to about 115 degrees...

Middle of the roast hit 125 at 10:30, after 3 hours on the grill. Deared at 600 degrees on my gas grill for 10 minutes, then on th echarcoal grill for exactly 3 hours at avg temp of 300 degrees. This was a 15 pound roast, cooked much faster than I thought. It's resting in foil for 30...

Most frustrating cook ever. Thermometer says 250 degrees,so I open vents by one zillionth of an inch. Wife sends me to the store to get ice, back 15 minutes later, thermometer says 425 degrees. The Polder and the Thermopen are 10 degrees apart, measuring the roast. Bring them in, give them...

Thanks for the nice post Charles. My parents are one in a billion, just the best, most loving, supportive parents any kid could have ever wanted. Every kid should have parents like mine. Fortunately for me, they live 2 miles away.

Off to a rocky start! I have never, ever, not once, had this much trouble getting my Weber kettle to settle at any temp I wanted. Every miniscule tweak I make to the vents, caused a 75 degree swing in the temp. I think I'm finally locked in at 330 degrees, but it took a good hour of...

I'v ebeen asked to cook for 16 people to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. I found a beautiful 15 pound boneless rib roast. My plan is to sear it at 500 degrees for 15 minutes, then cook at 325 degrees in my kettle until medium rare. I'm scared to death,because I got no consensus in my...

My parents 50th wedding anniversary is this weekend, I'm cooking for 13 adults. I have done many whole tenderloin roasts (indirect on my kettleT, but my folks love prime rib, so I'm leaning in that direction. I've never done a prime rib before. I'm wondering about timing. My butcher only has...

That's a decent price, isn't it??

Mikey, I have used apple, oak, hickory, and mesquite. All seem to work OK. I just ordered this kit, cannot wait to try it out...

Thanks guys, I'm guessing a 22.5 WSM will be purchased soon. The other thing is, I love poultry on a rotisserie, and I can't believe that Weber doesn't make one for the 26.75. I'm afraid that I'll need a 22.5 inch kettle to accommodate a rotisserie (and for rare occasions when I'm cooking for...

OK, I have a couple buddies coming over tomorrow night, I thought I'd try to do a pork butt on my Weber 26 inch kettle, on which I've had good success keeping temps at 250 for several hours for ribs. I'll put lump on one side of the grill, behind a wall of firebricks. (1) anyone have a good...

I do a good amount of grilling (steaks/burgers), and a fair amount of bbq (usually chicken thighs and ribs). All I have is a Weber 26.75 inch kettle, which I'm successfully using for ribs by keeping coals to one side with bricks. No problem maintaining 250 degrees for 6 hours, might require 1...

My wife wants me to get a rotisserie for poultry, but right now, my only kettle i sthe Weber 26.75 incher. Is there a rotisserie that fits that gril? Or do I need to get a 22.5 incher?

I am seriously "challenged" when it comes to the touch test. Can't do it,never will be able to do it. How do you check that juices are running clear, without drying out the burger? I will look at a thermapen as well.

I really enjoy making my own burgers from 80/20 chuck, and cooking over lump, but I'm having a problem cooking evenly and determining doneness. When I flip the burgers, I can tell where the hot spots are, and I jockey position accordingly. However, when I'm done, I always have burgers that are...

I'm having some friends over tomorrow, and I was hoping to make ribs, but I'll be gone for a few hours before they get there...I was thinking of making them early in the morning (off the grill by 10 AM), and then maybe re-heating them at 6 PM. Is there a proven way to do this without ruining...

Awesome idea, I would have been afraid to try it without a recommendation...

Hi, I'm thinking of trying to do a little kettle grilling with a rotisserie. I'd love to try chickens, turkeys, prime rib. (1) Can anyone give me general impressions of their experiences with cooking on a kettle with a rotisserie? I'm having awesome prime rib success with simple indirect...

Wolfgast, I hear you, the cheapest alternative would be another 22". But I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, I'm looking for the most effective and most fun (for me!) alternative. There's another higher-end, large charcoal grill called the Cajun Grill. You can get an optional...

Hi guys. I currently grill on a Weber 26.75 inch kettle, and love it. However, between family, friends, and kids' friends who are always over (we have a pool), it's pretty common to have to cook in batches, because it's not enough space. I was kicking around the idea of a Weber Ranch kettle...
