Just curious if you've used it yet Brian? If so, how was it? Would you recommend it? Thanks!

Interesting, may have to give it a try sometime. I think this would get you a lot hotter than 275-300* though. "Place a heaping full chimney 75% engaged charcoal on one side of the cooker."

Lots of great info mentioned already. Here is my Genesis after I rahabbed it: Check out my posts here and here for some additional info. There were lots of great suggestions made and I tried to post about the process I took. Also, check out Jonathans post here about the process he...

I agree with James, I'd say you were BBQ'ing. Either way, I don't think it really matters as long as the results were great I would recommend picking up a candy thermometer to stick in the lid vent to give you an idea of the cooking temps. ChadS said: <BLOCKQUOTE...

Nope Terry, that's the same way I did it. At first I thought there was no way it was possible but just about then the grate popped out. It does take some encouraging but it can be done. My chimney was well used when I finally decided to do it. The grate did bend a little where the tabs are...

Just passing along information I too have learned from this site I met Mac McClure, along with Steve Whiting, and Mark Evenson a bit back at a local competition and Mac suggested doing it. It takes a little finagling (sp?) to get it out and back in but it is possible

I agree with what AJ said. If it's not rusted on and you can get it off I would just take it apart, give it a cleaning, and bend it back so its flush again. Keep in mind if you have to order anything direct from weber it will be a flat $7 shipping fee. Also, as AJ said, stick your chimney...

Some very interesting stuff on there George. Thanks for posting the links. They do some creative cooks on those. I liked this. Never thought about using bricks for kabobs. I'll have to look more into those sites to see what else I can pick up. Thanks for the translate link too. I've...

Hi Jacques, Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase. The performer is an awesome grill. I would suggest getting a weber chimney, extra propane tanks, and a couple firebricks. The chimney is great for starting coals quickly and the firebrick are great for indirect cooking. I found...

What did you do? What did you do?

If you didn't have the kettle I would say definately go with the performer. I've had mine for about 6 months now and absolutely love it! But...you already have a kettle so I would say if you're going to get something new get the WSM. Keep an eye out on craigslist for a used performer or...

If you want to do a low and slow to try to get an idea of how the temps works and how long of a cook you can get, I'd recommend doing a couple of butts low and slow. Many great recipes on here for pulled pork.

That's a beauty! First I've seen in that color. I agree with the suggestions, 0000 Steel wool, some soap or 409, and some elbow grease. Nope Shaun. Can't see the pic either. Would love to see it though. Looks like the link is to a 1962 catalog. You don't have an old catalog and are...

I've been considering it forever but never could justify spending the money on one. Been working some long hours at work lately so I decided to spend the $$$. I ordered a <span class="ev_code_BLUE">BLUE</span> one today and it sounds like it should be here in 2 to 3 days. I almost got an...

Glad to hear Weber was able to help you out George. To bad you've been having such a problem with them. I agree though it definitely helps to know what you are looking for and to talk to the right person. Good luck with your repairs!

Very nice. Never realized it was so easy!

Thanks again everybody. The most difficult part was figuring out where to drill the holes. Steve, it was great meeting you, your wife, Mac, Mark, and thier wives too! Hopefully we can get together sometime in the future for some BBQ. Did you stick around for the results? I was disappointed...

Thanks guys! Last night I remembered I had a cheap thermometer from Lowes that I had gotten a long time back and never used so I added that this morning. The slide show above has been updated with the pics. I plan to break it in tonight with some roadside chicken. Can't wait to see how she...

Very nice find! That looks brand new. I love my performer. The gas assist is great for starting charcoal quickly. Enjoy!

Thought I'd start a new post instead of continuing this one.. As a recap, I bought an 18.5" OTS on craigslist for $10. Got a shower curtain rod for $4 and a 4 pk of 1" black crutch tips for $2 from Home Depot. Cut 7 1/2" legs out of the shower curtain rod and added the crutch tips to the...
