I've read a few threads related to the Tip Top Temp, but they all seemed to be from people that just got it and were trying it out. Is anyone still using the Tip Top Temp? Any opinions out there?

I recently bought a used Genesis E-320 as has been documented in other threads on here. Shortly after purchasing it, I lost almost an entire tank of gas to a leak. I couldn't find the leak using soap & water, so I finished that tank off closing the valve after each use (after removing the tank...

The top vent was pointed directly into the wind, so it makes perfect sense that the wind was forcing air down through the top vent causing the coals to burn hotter than I wanted. So obvious, yet I hadn't even thought about wind direction as a possible factor... Thanks, man I'll keep this in...

Ron, I believe you may have misunderstood me. I barbecue on my Original Kettle, which the one touch system with a single arm that controls the covers on 3 vents on the bottom. One possibility, I suppose, is that I had the grill butted up against a table which could have changed wind patterns...

I smoked a rack of spareribs for Mother's Day dinner yesterday and, as the thread title suggests, I had a terrible time keeping the temp low. It was a pretty breezy day, but in the past whenever I've been dealing with a breeze/wind it always seems to suck the heat out resulting in me having...

In about 17 minutes it reached a temp of 525*+. Maybe this grill is, ust too big to stay hot with 1 burner... still a bit disappointing but part of learning the limitations of a new grill I suppose. I still plan to confirm the manifold and burners are free of spider webs/dirt.

I have a Weber Genesis E320 gasser and an Original Kettle 22, so I do my smoking on the Kettle. If I had a WSM, I suspect I'd use that for smoking and my kettle for weekend grilling and my gasser for quick meals after work. Alternatively, rather than spending a few hundred dollars on a WSM, I...

I get how it is supposed to work, but I was cooking a large pack of chicken wings that wouldn't fit just over the center burner. And even after I had the grill up to temp, I had to keep all 3 burners on (far left on 100%, remaining two on 50%) to maintain just above 400 degrees. And even that...

I suspect (although I haven't confirmed) that if I turn all of the burners on full blast it will heat up rather well and likely peg the thermometer. My issue is with trying to heat the grill for indirect cooking, which it just doesn't seem to have the power to do. My old grill, which was older...

I finished one tank off last night and started a new one. At first I was attributing it to the first tank being nearly empty when I first put it on the grill, but the 'new' tank is almost completely full. I will try bleeding out the empty tank to see if much/any air escapes but I doubt this is...

As I documented elsewhere on here I recently purchased a used Genesis E-320 with side burner & front controls. I'm cooking chicken wings over "indirect" heat. I have 1 burner full-on, with the other 2 about the middle mark and it s struggling to get above 400 degrees. And it took a good 15-20...

I'll put this here since it is related to the topic at hand, at least somewhat... I stumbled across this video today... How long with a Weber Summit last on 1 full load of charcoal? Make your guess before watching!

The July-August timeframe appears to be when they'll ship orders to fulfill the crowd fund backers. They're taking advance orders now, but I would not expect to get one shipped until at least September-October at this point. The concept is really cool, but I'm curious to see how well the...

A plastic putty knife also works really well for scraping the excess grease buildup off the lid and inside the firebox (on a gas grill).

That's what gave me the idea... basically to make my own stacker for substantially less $$$, but make it tall enough to add a door at the bottom so I could add more coals during the cook if necessary.

My mind has been wondering while eating lunch... The ID of a 55 gallon drum is 22.5". My kettle diameter is 22.5". Are the 'true' dimensions close enough to be able to use a 55 gallon drum to convert my kettle grill into a WSM? My thinking is that I could pick up a cheap drum, cut it down to...

I have a 22" Original Kettle and if I had it to do over again I would buy the 26". That said, I didn't buy it as it was a gift from my FIL. I can't say that I've ever really felt that it was specifically too small, but when doing larger cooks for birthday parties and picnics it would always be...

I do my smoking on a 22.5" classic kettle grill so I can get it back down fairly quickly

Wow, that's some awesome feedback! Thanks! Would there be any ill effects from raising the temp for a spell to get it through the stall in lieu of foiling?
