Ok, just got the turkey carved up for tomorrow. Cooked it on my kettle. The brine (bourbon maple) was good, worked well. I had the probes stuck in the wrong spots (at least, one of them was reading way low), so I ended up getting it a bit overdone. Not too bad, still decent moistness, but...

I have a EP-310 and never have it happen. But then, I put a cover over it.

Well, based on the advice, I think this thing is going on my Performer. The bird is currently sitting in the bourbon/maple brine in the fridge (cooking it tomorrow for a church lunch on Sunday). I'll see how it does.

OK, I'm new to the turkey cooking thing. After spending 2016 working on my grilling and smoking abilities, now my family is looking at me saying "OK, you cook the bird this year." Yeah, I feed them, they give me the bird. You know how it is. Most of the turkey cooks I've seen (and even doing...

I'm pretty partial now to the Weber Style line of stuff. Not that there's not other good tools, but their tongs and spatulas seem to work the best of anything I've yet used. Their super wide spatula is just the trick for getting pork butts off the smoker.

The WSM will do some things the Performer won't do as well (owning one of each, longer cooks just won't play as well on a kettle). With a Genesis and a kamado the Performer won't really expand your abilities all that much. A WSM might.

It was $139 here too. They also had a Weber Q 1200 for the same price. But I just don't know what I'd do with either of them. The 14" smoker is so incredibly CUUUUUUUUTE, but honestly, I don't know what I'd cook on it that I wouldn't do on my 22". It would use less charcoal, but $139 buys a...

I saw this on the Weber twitter feed this weekend. If I were staying in one spot for a while, this would most definitely get me into a TownPlace over something else. I just hope the units can stand up to that kind of use- I worry that they'll end up getting pretty well destroyed within a month.

My aunt bought the Performer. She'd been wanting a Weber kettle (has only used electric grills). She's entering a whole new world now.

Cool. I also just got a EP-310 NG a couple days ago. I had looked at a Spirit, but the Genesis was just higher quality all the way around and not all that much more money. The Spirit likely would have been good enough, but I've yet to read something from a Genesis owner who regretted their...

When I did a couple pork butts a week ago, I pulled them off the smoker at 9, foiled them, then put them in a 5 gallon cooler lined with towels. They were still quite hot (too hot to handle with ungloved hands) at 11:30am when I pulled them. I figure they could have survived a couple more hours...

I put them on my 22" before I ever used it. Makes moving it around SO much easier. Took all of five minutes to do. IMO, it's a mandatory upgrade to make. Just very easy and makes life tons easier. If your WSM doesn't spend all its time in just one spot, it needs to be done.

Tell him to wave at the Grill Academy. I'm taking my dad to the Smoking 101 class that day.

Haven't tried the meatloaf, but the smoked sausage was heaven in my mouth.

Been there a couple times. Food is great, service was great once and indifferent once. The Grill Academy is a lot of fun too. Even if you know what you're doing it's still worth the time.

I'm in St. Charles; a couple miles south of the 364 bridge along the river. This thing really is big; I'd seen one at the Weber Grill Academy so I knew this was going to not be a small item. If I were paying retail I would have gone 18.5", but the deal on this one was too good to pass up. I...

Got it for $350. There is a bit of a ding on the midsection (up on the lip), but it's mostly a scratch in the paint from when it was delivered. He threw in a couple bags of Kingsford too.

How do you guys store your wood? I've kept the bags of chips and chunks inside the house, but that's going to rapidly take up more space than I want to devote to it. Do you need to keep the bags closed/airtight? Is the garage OK for storage?

Hi everybody. I found you all in my various web searches; I decided this would be the year I got serious about grilling and really got into it. I went from a Char-Broil gas grill to a Weber Performer a few years ago and have enjoyed charcoal grilling, but I wanted to go beyond basic pork steaks...
