    High end dutch oven

    I finally snagged a new 5.5Q in the color that I wanted off FB marketplace for cheap, someone recently got one for christmas and determined they would never use it... I am glad that I didnt pay full price for it, comparing to my el cheapo the finish is slightly better-more uniform and Im sure...

    2022 Kettles

    I purchased a copper kettle premium in 20 or 21', it seems pretty well built compared to others ive owned in the past...I dont like the change to the ash cleanout bowl though its too fiddly and needs a redesign ...the old design wasnt perfect but imo it was slightly better ...i hope they are...

    Rivet Removal on a WSM Pre-2009

    not to hijack the thread but I used a metal spike and ballpeen hammer on the rivets to tighten my vents, however it also caused the vent to flare out away from the body of the cooker a little bit....I may replace mine with new ones and bolt-nut

    Performer with fold down table, any good?

    I have someone asking me about this grill, Ive never looked at it...is the table useful due to it's size? how solid is it? does this grill feel more stable than say the 3 leg kettle?

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    oh its impressive in person, the one with the table definitely has a wow factor ......Ive researched and pondered going with one unit that does it all for over a year...big green egg- kamado joe - E6 and actually sold off a lang smoker and humphrey insulated smoker and extra 18 wsm / performer...

    What is everyone's favorite charcoal?

    I like B&B, but I will use almost anything....my local academy might have stopped stocking jealous devil and replaced it with B&B comp...$30 for a 24lb bag, got some to try but didnt look inside the bag yet to see if the chunks look better than the regular version....I just like lump better than...

    Probably the reason.......

    as soon as I take the food off the vents get closed and lid put down.... I lived in an area where lots of storms came through, windy quite often....I had a performer and 22" kettle on the patio, they took winds up to 60mph without blowing over.....then came some severe stuff with 80mph and the...

    Pork butt Cut In Half

    I dont think I would split a small roast, generally though I end up with a large one because thats all the store had in stock...the reason I started splitting them is for flavor, smoke-rub can only penetrate so far into the meat so the center section turns out kinda boring....I chop the meat...

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    Breaking in the new Aura Kettle Zone Cooking System

    this looks interesting, turn your kettle into a kamado cooker....one thing about the SnS is it gets really really hot directly above it....good for searing, however when I cook, I cook the entire meal on the kettle...so I may throw in baking potatoes indirect for an hour then put the meat...

    Deciding between Weber master touch, performer or summit E6

    performer premium , gas ignition is nice but I rarely used it....out of habit I use the weber cubes with a small chimney ....the summit is super nice but the regular kettle design will do everything you could ever want...unless you just want one

    3rd Time trying to smoke a brisket on WSM 18. I cannot get bark for the life of me, any help?

    I marinate mine for 24 hrs, put on smoker @250 with an empty foiled water pan....wrap in peach paper @170ish and cook to 205( also probed for feel)....measure temp in thickest part of flat near the point.....bark everywhere ....imo too much time in foil softens the bark too much but to each...

    Does your WSM have a favorite temperature zone?

    that would explain the lack of ability to run hotter, I think when these cookers are sealed up they would benefit from an additional exhaust vent
