    Cedar planked salmon

    I just bought some Brinkmann cedar planks at Home Depot the other day. But I'm learning that despite soaking them in water overnight before a grill, that they are designed for one time use only. Has anyone had any experience using the Brinkmann brands? I'm assuming that you're supposed to...

    How do I clean the top aluminum damper

    Hi, I have a trusty Smokey Joe that has been left out in the backyard without a cover for 15 years. And I love it! It has recently been converted to a WSM build. I cleaned the porcelain lid easily with soap/sponge (goo gone and a razor blade for removing paint spills when I wasn't...

    Deciding between 14.5 and 18.5

    I am drooling with envy at those smokers! I'd go with the 14.5, too. I'm just finishing a first smoke in my WSM mini build, and the food I got in there will last our family for a few days...

    Weber Q Model Comparison Chart

    Hi all, Does anyone know the changes made in these new 1000/2000/3000 models? Anything significant besides cosmetic differences?

    My EZ WSM Poor Man's Benz Build

    This project came about out of necessity, first, then out of pure joy. I tried to smoke a 5lb pork shoulder in my Smokey Joe last month, but the lid wouldn’t fit. I was tempted to drop $200-$300 on a WSM, but why get another grill when the one you have can be “accessorized” to do the job? I...

    Stainless steel or zinc screws on aluminum pot: corrosion free?

    I was actually more concerned about parts corroding the aluminum pot than my own health. But thanks for all the input, guys! My WSM build was just finished today, SS bolts and all. Here's a link: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?48961-My-EZ-WSM-Poor-Man-s-Benz-Build

    Picked up an older GAG today

    Ha ha, I just went to see photos of your GAG, and then saw the last photo. It's like going to a friend's house to check out his VW, only to see a Bentley next to it!

    Stainless steel or zinc screws on aluminum pot: corrosion free?

    Thanks again for the advice. I went ahead and bought SS nuts/bolts at Home Depot today. Can't wait to drill some holes and cut out the bottom. I'm hoping my jigsaw blade is enough for cutting aluminum.

    Ignitor/Burner Tube issue: Just cleaned a Weber Q200, and now it's as good as new!

    Hi, I bought Q200 off CL this week. The ignitor didn't work, and the burner tube didn't light all the way around when I used a lighter. So here's what I did: 1. I used a brass scrub brush along the holes. 2. I then took everything apart, and washed it with a bucket of warm soapy water. And I...

    Hi from Southern California

    BTW, what drew me to explore Weber grills further was that I had been using a $169 4 burner grill from a box retail store, and have been dissatisfied with the heat loss. There's basically a 2" wide gap running across the back. 48,000 BTUs don't mean much when heat is leaking everywhere and...

    Hi from Southern California

    Hi everyone, I grew up using my dad's 22" Weber charcoal grill for 30 years, and my post-college '99 Smokey Joe has still been going strong for over 15 years. I am now in the process of converting that Smokey Joe into a WSM build. Recently, I bought a 32qt pot ($16.99) at Gardena...

    Stainless steel or zinc screws on aluminum pot: corrosion free?

    I am about to buy screws/bolts for a 32qt aluminum pot I just purchased at a grocery store in Gardena, CA. I noticed that my choices for screws are zinc, stainless steel, etc. Has anyone experienced any corrosion in their aluminum pot WSM builds from using stainless steel screws? I plan on...
