Down here in Tx we're not getting anything but sunshine, and you sure don't need to shovel that out of your driveway. I grew up in the northeast and I know I'd be "working from home" today, but really I'd be BBQ'in on the big covered back porch while watching the piles build up. C'mon, I...

No, thank you, Tony! I'm a firm believer that you can't grill or bbq without a beer in hand (or beers)... I am a big craft beer snob, so I'll always try to post the beer I'm drinking while cooking.

Yes! And when cooked properly, they have just slightly more chew. If you overcook them, they definitely turn to sawdust pretty quickly... but yeah, the poor man's filet almost. Even though it's not as cheap as I could get it at a non high-end grocery store, Whole Foods here has them for $4.99...

Ribs lookin darn good. Do you usually wrap with foil? Notice anything different w/ the paper?

I wont comment on how to choose old vs new, because I have a new one and it's awesome, but have never owned a new one. Yes, metal table is great, but I also don't think the older tables are any worse... A nice thing is the deeper lid basket... it stands pretty much straight up and out of...

Funny you mention it, the propane tank must've been extremely low, because it died only about 45 seconds into it's next use this weekend. I put a new one on and it was perfect. I even let it run a few extra minutes to see if it would frost up, but it ran perfectly with no overdraw or anything...

Oh brother I can imagine. I just retiled 2100 sq ft of my house. I have a table tile saw for straight cuts, but was curious how you did that curve. Good call on the flashing and Hardie board.

Hey guys. I have a few mods done to my wsm, and I also put it on casters for moving it around on my patio. Anyway, I just got a new charcoal, so now I have to fit three decent sized cookers. I have a good layout, with the exception that my wsm is backed into a corner on the edge of my patio...

That looks great. What did you use under the tile? And how did you cut the tile to the contour? Thinking about doing this as well. This may be the final kick I need.

That's quite a cook you got planned! Looking forward to pics!

This looks incredible. I'm fortunate enough to have an authentic ramen shop in the area (ramen tatsu-ya), and I can attest, it's heaveny. Awhile back I made the momofuku broth with some braised chashu/pork belly, and some amazing ajitsuke egg. Looks like the eggs are a very similar recipe...

Awesome info Robert. Thanks a lot. I used the ignitor for about 10 minutes until it started to frost and die down. The coals lit themselves after that. I'll take your advice and use the chimney next time with less time on flame. I only use kingsford blue in the wsm, but that's mainly for...

Thanks bob, I used top and bottom racks. I only stacked them quick while I got the tray ready to take inside. But this was the most ribs I had on the wsm, so I'm going to have to invest in a rack if I continue this!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I forgot to mention, this was kingsford coal, with some oak & apple chunks thrown in. I wish I got some pics of the bend test, these things were probably the best doneness I have ever gotten, flavor profile was great too. I was real happy w/ this cook.

Thanks guys - I don't doubt that I'll have a good handle on it, just like every pit I've owned. I'll keep y'all updated!

Wow - Do you grind your own? I'm just about to start a new kitchen project, the perfect burger blend. Would love to hear your grind.

Thanks Bob - I use the cube starters to ignite the chimney for the WSM, but since this was the maiden voyage on the performer, I figured I'd go with the propane assist.... It works real well, but I think a little too much for that small tank, at least when its less than half full. I have cooked...

Did a rib cook for the family over the weekend. Did 4 slabs, got two good pics of them. These are probably the better of the ribs I turned out on the WSM since switching from my old offset. I had that thing mastered, and now i'm finally getting the hang of this cooker. Enjoy! St. Loueeees'...

Welp... I got an insane deal that I couldn't pass up on a brand new performer deluxe... so here's my story. This is my maiden cook on the new pit - I never had a kettle, so I'm a complete charcoal newb when it comes to kettles (i've had numerous smokers). Anyway, I was not happy w/ the meal...

Yeah, you're probably talking about the vegas strip steak. I think there's debate around if it's really the "next best thing"
