I've done STL cut spares in 45ish mins @ 450° on my Performer a couple of times. This method won't win any comps, the ribs are nowhere near as good as lo' n slo'. But when you have the shakes from 'que withdrawal, and you need a quick fix, they sure hit the spot!

Troy - trust me, I'm not any better. The bar was really easy to make. Got the stock from Lowes (bought a little extra in case I messed it up) and then it was just some fancy bending!

Where can I buy tung or teak oil? I have checked Sherwin Williams paint stores, HD and Lowes without any luck.

Troy: I was in a similar situation, so I made my own ash catcher bar. See http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...023/m/6241057706/p/1 I tried to take pics of the measurements I used. It was pretty simple to fabricate, and has been working very well.

My vote goes for no. The Thermoworks RT600C is about $25 on Amazon and works great. You can buy 3-4 for the price of 1 Thermapen. Same manufacturer, so quality should be equivalent.

No the pot is the right size. I know because there was no leak when I first built it. I found the problem - I had cut 2 small rectangles of expando to lean against the SJG vents, in order to improve air flow. I leaned them too high against the bowl, and thus the pot was not sitting flush on the...

Which gasket did you buy from Amazon? There are different ones available for different cookers (BGE, Primo). Also, what adhesive did you use? The problem is with the the way the pot sits on the bottom SJ bowl - that's where I see the smoke leak from. The vent holes don't seem to be the issue...

I bought the Tramontina 3-4 years ago based on the Cooks Illustrated reccommendation. ~$40 at Wal-Mart. It has held up very well to fair-moderate use. No appreciable staining. The porcelain coating does not have any visible cracks, dents, or chips in it. I replaced the lid knob with a cabinet...

I built one of these some time ago but noticed a leak on the last cook I did. The leak is between the bottom of the pot and the bowl of the SJ. Tried to make a foil gasket around the bowl and the pot bottom. Seems like the lid for the SJ seems to fit a tad loose on the bowl as well. Has anyone...

Good grief! What did the previous owner do to that redhead? You did a fantastic job restoring it.

what about putting a plate over the hole, with pop rivets or even small bolts? sounds like the cheapest option.

get 4 regular bricks and wrap them in 2 layers of heavy duty foil. Make two rows of 1-2 bricks each. Lay your skewers across them. I've used this setip for about 5 years. The bricks have not spalled or anything. I also use the bricks to keep the coals on one side of the grill for an indirect...

Great score! You can't break up that lovely Weber family. Can't you work out a deal with the better half? Flowers/chocolate/chores/jewelry???

No good options that I know of yet. Duplicolor engine red is good for touch-ups as is the red from Krylon (so I hear). The Duplicolor is rated to 500ish or something and turns black after a few cooks. If you hear of anything please post.

first, how were the tuna steaks? That's impressive. I can get my brick pizza oven up to 1000+ but it takes a while. Pizzas will char in <1min. I now do the pizzas at about 700-800. I would have imagined that it would take a lower temp to do tuna. I'm sure Weber will send out the replacements...

Cheap mod: heavy duty foil gasket to seal up the gap. More durable mod: I have read about people using rope gasket stuck to the ring to seal any gap. Search/google and you should find some good threads.

You and me both, brother! Remote monitoring and control would be ubercool, but I would settle for just remote monitoring over my home wifi. The Linkmeter project is very interesting, and I would love to do it, but my skill set is minimal. I can barely solder 2 things together. I also looked...

Gerry - you may want to put your thermo somewhere else> I've seen pics of a melted thermo transmitter from being placed on the lid during a cook. My solution: I replaced the center screw in the handle of my SJG with a longer screw and put a fender washer between the screw and the SJG handle...

I'm interested in remote monitoring with a web interface, remote control would be gravy. I guess if one could wire up the Auber unit to some kind of transmitter, it wouldn't be that much harder to just build a LinkMeter?

I've been following the LinkMeter thread with slack-jawed admiration. I couldn't help but wonder if someone has found some middle ground eg. modifying an Auber (or similar) ATC to make it wireless? Seems like something like that would fill the void between springing for a Stoker/Guru vs...
