Bingo!!!! Works for me too.

What with all the comments on this and other forums detailing the amount of "crazing and spalling" due to banking coals on the side of the kettle, I was wondering when Weber might start to balk about replacing the affected parts. I contacted Weber soon after getting my 22.5 OTG and asked about...

And since I'm cheap, I cut the top and bottom out of a liter apple juice can and light half a dozen briquettes, using a lighter cube. Works good enough for me.

Yup, that's a no-no, for sure.

The Performer would be the grill to get, but at $400+ (at least up here) a more modest budget would allow the next best thing - the 22.5 OTG. As far as colour.....

Chicken 1/4's cook up great. As far as corn goes, I always cook it on the grill still in the husk. I put them on the grill "un-opened" and after 15-20 minutes or so, I take them off and remove the husk. A little challenging, as they are very hot, but the corn comes out juicy and (depending on...

I found that after an hour or so, the temperature at the lid thermometer is very close to the temperature of the thermometer I have at grate level. So for l&s cooking, the lid therm is close enough. Once you get used to how the thing cooks, save yourself the coin for the Maverick and just buy a...

The 26.5 is quite a bit more expensive than the 22.5, almost double the price. If I were in a position of independant wealth, I would spend that money on a Performer.

Ha, to quote Larry The Cable Guy "I don't care who you are, now that's funny, right there". I really wish I would have did more research before I bought my Spirit. I rarely use it and find it aggravating to use in comparison to the OTG. I just find the kettle easy to use and the cooked results...

Yah, I think it's an Ozzie trick.:rolleyes:

I think the question is, "Do you want one?" You can easily do without a gas grill, but it's nice to have an alternative cook source. It is fairly fast and easy, and you can use it in conjunction with the charcoal grill, maybe keeping stuff warm while cooking on the kettle, or if you have a large...

Top round, as you found out, does not shred well. The grain of the meat is too fine. You need courser grained meat, as in blade or crossrib (to a lesser degree). However, once cooled, you can almost shave top round into very thin slices. edit: it's interesting what some areas call different...

Gary where did you get the Nomex from? Is it something picked up at a hardware store (ala HD/Rona/Lowes/Home Hardware) or a dedicated heating/BBQ site? I am intriqued.

Hmm, good question and I have noticed that myself. However, I use my kettle for predominantly reverse searing or low/slow and most cooking is done indirect, then moved over the (by then very hot) coals. I am interested in the answer too.

I do all my low/slow on the kettle as I do not have a WSM and can't really justify the $400 to get one. Used is rather unlikely as Weber's are not too easy to come by up here. That being said however, there is gobs of info to help use the kettle and get spectacular results.

Even though there are quite a few farms that have sheep, obviously pork,beef and chicken far outnumber lamb production. I always found it rather ironic that NZ fresh lamb was considerably cheaper than the stuff from a farm down the road. People always ask "why don't you carry local lamb" and I...

Looks like bnls crossrib steaks. Would be similar to inside (top) round steaks. A little dry (so don't over-cook) and quite possibly tough. As a roast, crossrib is ok but steaks - meh. Bnls blade steaks are better (think of pork butt, but beef). Of course, a person can quite literally BBQ...

I use (what my wife calls baby-bum-wipes) not sure what the proper name is but those baby wet-wipe thingies. They clean really great, at least as good as I want to clean. It is just an outdoor BBQ grill, after all.

Yup, Dave Letterman is one of the best.

Has it always taken that long, or did it just start recently? I know that (at least on my Spirit) if I turn the tank on too fast, it buggers up and heats very slowly. I have to turn the tank on slowly and then wait 10 seconds or so, then turn on the burner to light. Then in a few minutes, the...
