    Need help with a second grate idea (no pun intended)

    The Hovergrill above is a stock pot steamer rack. They are available in sizes from about 10 to 18 inches. Visit your local restaurant supply or order online. I use the 14.5 inch one all the time in my Performer. If you build a fire on the side you can get 3 racks in a kettle.

    Testing the capacity of the 22 wsm

    You can easily add a middle rack for both briskets on the bottom,, and then the 4 butts on top should fit fine.

    The stone talkes a while to preheat.. if you have an infrared thermo , the stone temps can be monitored to help dial in the temps.

    Does the hover grill fit a 18.5 WSM

    The Hovergrill in the pic is nothing more than a Steam Rack made for the food industry. They come in several sizes and can be bought at Restaraunt Supply stores.

    Need a good Knife

    I used to work in the food industry and still have a roll full of various knives... the choice is very subjective but there are some knive styles that are less/more desirable to use. A Chef's knife as pictured above is a general purpose knife and can do the job but is more suited for board...

    NY Times Article - No Marinade for Grilling

    I don't think the article states not to use marinades or that the marinades don't work at all.. just that they impact flavors to the surface more than the center... and that a more effective way to use a marinade is after the cook where it can impact the most flavors. The article also states to...

    Custom Pizza Kettle

    Ray it looks pretty good, so the 1/4 round bar is to have that rolled edge on top? If so how is that done? Most of the hard core pizza cooks like to go with 2-3 min pizzas for Neopolitan or 5-8 min. for NY Style... One of the challenges of the Kettle Pizza is that it loses a lot of heat to the...

    Appetizer sized Salmon

    How small? Smaller equals faster cook times.. I usually cook salmon on a kettle, indirect on a shallow foil pan with temps 325 to 350 range and cook until I can see start to see white bubbles forming which is about 130+- internal. A 3 lb filet might be around 15-20 minutes cooked this way.

    WSM Mini Mod Using 18.5 Midsection?

    On the 18 WSM the bottom and top sections are the same pieces as the bottom pieces of the 18 kettle and 18 SJ., so ...the 18 WSM midsection will fit on a 18 SJ bottom, but the SJ lid wil not fit the 18 WSM body, you will need a 18 WSM lid to fit it's midsection or you can use the bottom of an 18...

    Does anyone do Catering "Off the Radar?"

    No doubt, it can be physically and mentally draining, especially for the prep and volume cooks who prepare boxes and boxes of meat, veggies, etc. I’m sure there's a sizeable number of people in the industry that after being on their feet 8-10 hours smelling of dried sweat and food, and sweaty...

    Temp Controller or Stacker

    Rob, I have/had most or all of Webers smokers and kettles. I also own a Cajun Bandit Stacker. I like the Stacker.. I have adapted it to add three 22.5 grill grates and one 18.5 grill grates. With the stacker and kettle I rarely use my 22 WSM. I've done the snake method and coals on the side and...

    Does anyone do Catering "Off the Radar?"

    The food industry in general is hard work and often times when a fun hobby turns into work it is no longer enjoyable. My family has owned about a half dozen restaurants, I cooked professionally but when I did do side gigs it was something like what Bob Sample described.. for friends or people I...
