    Is the Mini Chimney Starter discontinued?

    If you want to start a small batch (<20 briquettes) I use this from Ikea: Ordning Caddy It's super cheap. There's a larger one (7.5") but the little guy works for me. I like the Weber Mini Chimney for the handle and it will work perfect to fill my Jumbo Joe, but with the orginal chimney and...

    Target Weber Clearance has started (YMMV)

    I found a 18" grate with no tags at my local Target. The cashier didn't know/want to look it up and just asked me I wanted to pay. He put me in the spot with a long line behind me so I said $3, good deal?

    New RED Weber Q1200 review

    RD Hauch, thanks for the review and picture! Could you see if the ignition on your new Q could be fitted onto the old Q series? My Q220 fires up sometimes with the ignition.

    New thermometer as fast as Thermapen for only $46!

    This Javelin looks sharp and is cheaper, does anyone have hands on experience with one? The Thermopen is the gold standard.

    Made a cone for the Smokey Joe

    Skills ! Great job measuring up, cutting and welding your cone. I certainly don't have the skills/equipment to do it. Please let us know what else you cook with it. The volcano cone site has a standing chicken inside the (inverted) cone and charcoal in a ring of fire on a Weber Kettle. I don't...

    Which Chimney for a Jumbo Joe?

    I use this as my chimney which I have seen online, maybe on this forum: Ikea Ordning utensil holder I have used a full chimney full to indirect cook a Tri Tip or direct cook 8 sliders. The JJ doesn't need much fuel since the grates sit closely to the coals. Would love to see what a mini...

    What Are Folks Paying for Used Jumbo Joes?

    I was late to the Target Clearance last year. I bought mine for $35 at a garage sale and was super happy I did, no regrets.

    Trimming weight on Q220

    Thank you all for the comments so far. GrillGrates replied to my email saying they can't do a custom set for the Q220. They didn't go into detail, but I bet it's because of the curves of the grill. I really like the OEM CI grill, but moving it is a bit of a pain even though I have the fabric...

    Trimming weight on Q220

    Thanks Eric S. I emailed GrillGrate for a quote on a custom set for the Q220. I also own a Jumbo Joe. Does anyone have GrillGrates on either their Q or a Jumbo Joe and have any opinions/tips on how they work out for you? If I do a custom set I guess I would see if they would make it work on...

    Trimming weight on Q220

    I need help/opinions on losing weight on the Q220. I use my Q220 on weekday dinners and often on weekends camping/beach/picnics. I'm planning on taking off the side shelves. I've read some folks take out the CI grate and move that separately but I think that makes things dirty/messy. I plan...

    Super Jumbo

    Looks great, but what about portability? From your earlier posts you were going to look into locking down the lid to the bowl to carry it all together. Can you measure how tall this is with the lid on? I'd love to see if it can fit in a car trunk. How much the Cajun Bandit legs set you back?

    Just bought a Jumbo Joe

    I saw 2 Jumbo Joes and 4 18" hinged grills at my local Target. I'm hoping they start discounting the grill stuff soon. Most of the furniture looks like it's on 30% off right now. My Jumbo Joe needs a new grill.

    New Old Stock 1974 26" Red Weber....

    Thank you sharing pics! Your grill is true art. I would be torn to use it or just display it. These grills should be used, but at 50 years old and at such pristine shape it should be displayed for all to see. What a great find, I would be bursting at the seams if I found something like that. I...

    Found a Q-120 on CL - Worth it?

    $85 for a Q120 sounds like a good deal to me. It would be great to see some pictures to be more confident on my opinion. The grate can easily be reseasoned, the rest can be cleaned. Before you buy, have him show you how he slowly opens the tank valve and fire it up. Check the flame and ensure...

    My 1st Craigslist Find Summit Silver For Free

    Woohoo! Congrats on the find. There have been quite a few grills on Craigslist for free the last few days. I think Dads are getting new grills and getting rid of their old ones. I've never seen a Summit like that before, you have a very unique grill. Have you tried contacting rcplanebuyer? I...

    Weber handle light

    John Ford, your Q looks nice! Where did you get the red paint for the lid and what official color is it? Yesterday I had an hour to myself and walked around Lowe's checking out the BBQ section along with a project I will be posting up here this week. I saw the light on a Q3200, but didn't think...

    SJG or JJ?

    We just went camping with our JJ. This was our first time with our JJ, we usually use the fire pit to grill which I hate because thre is no heat control and limited grill space. We did quick sausages for appetizers while the main dinner was cooking (thin pork belly which needs the fat to crisp...

    Portability of Q3X

    I agree with Tom Bauer, the Q2xx and Q1xx are best for portability. I have a Q220 and take it to the park, beach and camping all the time. You can find the Q2xx on Craigslist for cheap! I easily feed my family of 4 on the weekdays and can feed 8+ folks when not at home (in batches of course)...

    New Q1200 enameled two piece grate. Improvement or?

    Thanks Everyone for the tip on the #6504. I have the old Q220 and it looks like the #6504 will be small and fit inside it. I like that the griddle doesn't use the whole area so the grate can be used for sausages or something else. Are there other griddles folks would recommend for a Q220?
