Has anyone had trouble with the smokenator "warping"? Mine has a wave in it--the formerly straight edge--now caused, no doubt, by several long cooks with it. It still works, but for how long? Gary

Thanks, Paul. Do you have any trouble with the mustard burning at the higher temps or does the foil shield the brisket? I'll try what you recommend next time. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Gary

Yes I did Paul, and, no, that isn't a dumb question. In the WEBER CHARCOAL book, Jim Minion reportedly cuts the brisket in two: slicing the bottom half across the grain and chopping the top half. But at 8 pounds, this brisket is too thin for that. I have a buddy who ordered a brisket from his...

Thanks, Paul. Your approach makes sense. I'm pretty isolated here in the Northeast from BBQ colleagues, so all my feedback is online. I have a spare brisket in the freezer; I'll try following more of the butter knife test next time. Thanks again. Gary

Bryan, Thanks, Bryan. Your last post gave me some ideas. I requisitioned an old outdoor side table to place the mount on, which I'll be able to fasten with the supplied hardware kit. The table is just high enough to shelter the pit viper fan assembly to give it some shelter from the elements. I...

I live in the Northeast where brisket is not commonly available in supermarkets, even gourmet ones. But I did find two in crivoc--8 pounds-- at the local Wegmans and made one with a DigiQ II cooker. I used Jim Minion's recipe as found in Jamie Purviance's Weber Charcoal Grilling cookbook. Well...

Bryan, thanks for all the time you took to take the shot to show me your configuration. Is the metal loop that you have the bolt-and-nut fastened to part of the fan? My fan has all flat sides with no fasteners. Otherwise, the fan looks identical. Gary

Thanks, Bryan. I wanted to know if guys mounted the "plate" to the WSM, say, in the middle or top section. I think that's what the universal mount kit is for. I didn't see anything in the link on mounting the fan to the plate. Gary

Thanks. Yes, that's what I'm asking; the "stand" is called a "mount" in the DigiQ II pamphlet. One of the configurations the pamphlet mentions is using the mount and the hardware kit to secure the controller on the WSM. I wanted to see if anyone else tried that, and if so, how satisfied he was...

For those with the DigiQ II, what configuration are you using to mount the bracket on the controller? One of the manuals shows mounting the viper fan but not the controller. There is a "universal mount hardware" for the bracket, but no probable configurations for attaching to WSM. Gary

Tim, That's good to know since I bought two of them. I'm going to try the Salmon rub this Wednesday when my wife is bringing her former college professor over for dinner. She's a very particular eater, by the way, from the list of things she prefers. Have to ask those things ahead of times...

I was at Sam's Club yesterday and discovered Weber released four new rubs in their Grill Creations series. There's a classic BBQ rub, one for Salmon, and two others whose names I don't recall now. These are in addition to the seasoning sets they offered last year. Gary

Sam's Club has a perfect shed for smoking and barbecue stuff made by Thinking Outside, but I couldn't find it on the Sam's Club web site. It has two wheels and is large enough to contain the Weber Wok and all accessories. I bought some pot stands at Lowe's and place them inside the box. Keeps...

Yes, I've made pizza using the product you show. It's okay, but not stellar; I didbn't like the crust it produced. The best is William Sonoma's pizza stone on the grill. It's expensive ($99) but unbelievably good. Gary.
