Thanks for the info Robert. I saw your other thread with the results from you first rib cook in the Mini and they looked awesome!

Robert - looks good. I like the handles you made for the top rack. How far from the top is your top rack mounted and how mach space it there between the top and second rack? Thanks

For $50 more, it's probably worth it? Everybody around here seems to love the gas assist even though most of them are just using it to light their chimineys. I admit they had me second guessing my decision to get the Gold version. I bought the Gold version because I found it for about $120 less...

I'm pretty much agree with you, hence my question about the Brinkman model. Hopefully I'll have a chance to stop by HD this weekend otherwise I'll probably roll the dice on the Weber version on Amazon

I'll have to give that one a look. Is it SS, chrome of some kind of black coating?

Can anybody confirm if the Weber 3601 Rib Rack will fit in a Mini WSM? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004U9VC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3CZW8GG0418AA The description says "Fits 18-1/2-inch kettles or larger" but the listed dimensions are 11.6 x 3.1 x 11.2 inches so it...

On the way home I stopped at Home Goods as I heard they have a good price on Le Crueset. They did ($99) but the model they had is smaller then I want (looked like 4qt?). I went back to Tuesday Morning (which is the place I saw the one for $199). Turns out It was the 7.25qt model (which goes for...

I agree and honestly, it's not a subject I feel like debating. We all have to make up our own minds and I'm not here to convince anybody of anything. IMO, there isn't enough hard evidence to make any concrete conclusions and even the so called experts can't make up their minds one year to the...

I want to get an enameled cast iron dutch oven but I'm not sure which one to get? Before you answer, keep the following criteria in mind... 1. Yes, I want an enameled pot. I am aware of the pro's and con's of enameled vs standard non-enameled seasoned cast iron and I know for sure I want...

I don't know why some people still say that but the experts tend to disagree. The studies I've seen still say that margarine (in tub or squeeze bottle form) are still healthier (at least for your heart) then butter. You might want to read the following links...

I love pastrami but never looked into making it myself. Is Brisket the typical cut of beef used to make Pastrami? Can you share "Pop's Brine" recipe? Being Greek, lamb has always been a part of my family's diet. When we cook it we always use a lot of garlic and lemon juice (as well as EVOO...

Darren - First off... no need to apologize, I really appreciate long detailed responses like yours and I appreciate that you took the time to respond and type all of that out! As to the first part about letting the coals ash over, I think you are onto something there. I too have noticed the...

Nope, I just screwed up. I have the standard, non-gas assist Performer. Don't know why I wrote Platinum?

Actually, I wasn't aiming for 325-350, that's just what I got with the lower vent at ~50% open. That did make me think of an interesting question... with 1 full chimney of fresh KBB, lit and ready to go dumped into a 22.5" kettle with both vents 100% open and the lid closed, what temps should I...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I think you guys are right about the used coal, I'll just leave that stuff there and pour fresh on top of it next time. Good to hear. I really want to get a rotisserie attachment for this grill. I had one for my gas grill and loved cooking chicken and leg of...

I recently started using a new Weber platinum grill. Keep in mind I'm a long time gas guy so I'm not really up to speed with charcoal. I don't seem to be getting the long cook times that most others seem to get? Take last weekend's cook for example... Just cooking a bunch of burgers, dogs...

You know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure! The grill looked very good after you cleaned it up. What did you use to clean it with?

Keep an eye on ebay as well. I was able to score a BNIB Vasconia pot a few weeks ago for $18 shipped. No deals there right now but keep looking

I was originally looking at a Tel-Tru model but seeing how I haven't spent more then $15-$20 on any other component of this smoker, it's pretty hard to justify a $40 thermometer that will basically be used as a back up gauge. The River Country model seems a little more in line price wise. After...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of collecting the stuff I need to build my own Mini and am wondering about the thermometer? Specifically... I plan to pick up a Maverick 732 for use with the mini. With that in mind, I'm wondering if there is really any point in buying and mounting a dial...
