Two questions here: 1) The water bowl that came with this is shot (almost rusted through around the edges). I don't plan to ever use water, can I use a foil wrapped ceramic stone instead? Do you even need the ceramic, what about a cheap 15" pizza tray? 2) Is there any advantage (or...

I woodwork, and almost ALL of my tools, I have bought second hand. Not always because of the money saved, but most of the time its easier because the "first scratch" is already there. I bought my current table saw new, and I was ****ED when I scratched the table. 4 (or so) years later and I...

Yep, picked it up. The lady of the household wasn't overly pleased, but I think I sold her. "We already have 5 other smokers," she says (we don't)... Little does she know. I will probably put a little money in it and cook, not trying to go overboard and spend as much as I would buying new...

Ok, that makes me feel good, she is asking $30. I am certain the grates are trash, and may or may not have the water pan. Was thinking I could pick up a new lid from Weber if that is in fact rust, but yeah, I can't tell either. Surely they'll sell a replacement, no? Same with the leg, will...

At what point (price) is it not worth it?

Heck, with confirmation that they are, in fact, coming, I will be waiting! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't waiting for something that was possibly a limited time deal, and wasn't ever coming back.

Nice. All great reasons, and makes full sense. I especially like the east/west burners, not sure why gas grills now don't follow suit? I am primaraily a charcoal cooker, but do own a cheap-ish char broil grill. When that finally rots out, I will probably look for one of these. Thanks!

Ha, I was half-joking... That just seems to be how my luck goes, figured it would help the rest of the folks looking for them out, if I bought. - - - Updated - - - Thanks Chris, let us know what you hear!

Well, ill tell you what... Ill order a set of the Weber ones, and then these will be available the following day.... LOL

Does anyone know when/if these will be available again? I would like a set.

I've got an Akorn, but would like to eventually "trade-up" to a ceramic, hopefully find one used. I put trade-up in quotes, because as far as cooking goes, I truly believe the Akorn does and will continue to cook just as well as a ceramic for quite some time. However, I don't believe it will...

Hey, knew to the forum, but have noticed lots of folks have (and restored) these style, Weber 1000 or Silver B grills. What makes these so sought after and worth the time/effort of a restore? Honest questions, not trying to start a war.

That looks like a nice grilling setup you got there. Unfortunately, I don't have a covered patio, hopefully will someday! And I also cannot afford the space in my garage to store my BBQ stuff, as the garage is my woodshop, and hurting on space there as-is! I've thought about doing a small...

It is a nice area, and from what I understand, has grown ALOT from the last time you we're here. I moved here for the fishing, work was second. Cost of living is relatively cheap, people are generally nice, and the fishing is first rate. - - - Updated - - - Never been, but just looked it...

Well, I picked up the Kettle yesterday, figured for $89 after tax I couldn't pass it up. Maybe not the BEST deal you can get on one, if you wait for the end of season deals and such, but figured at almost half the retail ($149) price, was decent enough. I'm not sure if its necessary, but I...

Yeah, I am undecided about the whole built in, but possibly a counter with a hole or two cut out. That's my one complaint now, not having counter space to prep/clean/pick/pull and SIT MY DANG BEER! I drew up some stuff a while back, just to get some ideas.... One of my stipulations though, is...

Not sure if this is the right space, since I am new, but... I am looking for some insight. Currently, I do most of my outdoor cooking on an Akorn. I recently picked up a WSM 14.5, but haven't used it yet, and am kind of having buyers remorse (wish i'd have got the 18). Anyway, plan for the...

Hey ya'll! My name is Mike, grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. Moved to Eastern NC about 7 years ago when I had my first go-round with vinegar style BBQ sauce. HO-LEE-CHIT. I didn't know what I was missing. Anyway, I recently (last year) took up smoking on my own. I bought an Akorn and use that...
