The latest issue (Jul/Aug 2020) of Cooks Illustrated ran a test on Remote-Probe Thermometers. Thermoworks Smoke came in as the only one "Highly Reccomended". Weber iGrill2 came in as "Not Recommended." YMMV. Cheers, Paul

John, All good advise. Thanks

Jeff, Thanks. I use heavy gloves all the time when grilling and BBQing so no issue there. The stability thing is a worry through and I'd hate to have water dumped all over the coals - could make for a bad day. Overall, I'm just trying be a little more efficient. But good things to consider. Paul

May be an obvious question BUT since mine is new...If I want to heat up the water in my water pan on my 18.5 WSM before starting the cook, can I put the pan directly on a burner (side burner on my gas grill.) Thanks, Paul

Thanks good things to consider. I will be leaving it outside so...

Found a less expensive one (different stainless) on same site with Free Shipping. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/18-gauge-economy-24-x-36-430-stainless-steel-work-table-with-undershelf/522ETSG2436.html Kyle you are correct, it does not have wheels and I would be using it on a concrete patio...

Hi all, just got my very first WSM - an 18.5 beauty that I fired up this past weekend. I really am in need of a prep/equip table for my outdoor cooking area (I also have a Weber gas grill in proximity.) I am thinking something like this...

I am in the market for an MK4 and I do not really care about the color. Is this about the best price they offer? I do see it is still available as of 10/21. Thanks Paul

Thanks, I have used Tony C's in the past. I also appreciate the other suggestions about avoiding sugar and paprika. Paul

Yep, thanks!

Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on best rub for a fried turkey? This can be either commercial rubs or homemade recipes. I realize timing of the rub as well as application technique is essential as the hot oil will burn off alot of any surface rub. Thanks, Paul (and yes I...

Hi all, Do new WSMs come with the vinyl Weber covers? Thanks Pasul

Hi Joan, No, in fact I usually prefer making my own stuff and I rarely use commercial spice mixes. But that is not to say there are not some great off-the-shelf products out there. For example, I have tried to make my own hot sauce, even growing and fermenting my own peppers. After all that...

Thanks Tim, never heard of Famous Dave's and will look into it. Our local markets have varieties of Stubbs. I have tried it and like it. Paul

What are your personal favorite pre-made sauces and rubs? And for which meat do you use these? I have used Texas Rib Rangers rub and sauce for ribs recently but, as I am just getting serious about BBQ I am open to any and all suggestions. (I realize taste is subjective but quality is not!)...

Philly is a great food town but does not have a plethora of good BBQ places. This is starting to change a little. It will probably never be a BBQ town but at least there are some places starting to open and/or get some recognition. There are more than are listed in this article but it is a...

In the world of Guitars (especially acoustic geetars) we call this GAS - for Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. It means that two guitars are better than one and three are better than two. This could easily apply here... Paul

Thank you guys. Appreciate the insight. Am looking to get this up, running and seasoned by Easter. Paul

So I have been thinking about getting a WSM and have pretty much settled on the 18.5 model. I saw one at Home Depot today and was fiddling with it. I have read about but never quite understood what people meant by the issues with he door. So my questions are: 1. How much fiddling or opening...

Thanks guys, good news is that I was able to replace the valve (new one from GrillParts.com) without any trouble and I was also able to get the control panel side plate fixed. Since I am not in any way mechanically inclined I am pretty happy with myself in getting my grill back up running like...
