    Weber Repair, Issue and Screw Replacement

    Big Weber fan and owner. I have two WSM, Weber Firepit, portable Weber and and a Genesis II S-410. I was doing work on the Genesis II S-410. I needed to replace a burnt out crossover tube but the screws in it had rusted off. Not a big issue as I could pull the crossover right off. But I could...

    UK Briquettes, Heat Beads MIA? Alternatives wanted....

    I am a long time WSM user based in the UK. I like to use a mix of mostly Australian Heat Beads plus some lump and wood chunks. In the UK, Austrlian Heat Beads have been getting harder and harder to get - so I guess I need to find an alternative? At least that is my experience. Any...

    Using an inner ring for snake/fuse method?

    Has anyone ever experimented with an "inner charcoal ring" to help with the fuse/snake method of burning charcoal? My thinking is if the 22" ring is 17 inches, dropping a smaller ring (around 10 or 11 inches) inside. My thinking is this would allow me to make my snake/fuse more stable...

    Strap bolts stripped - ideas?

    I am trying to install some new, custom straps on my Weber 57 cm (22 incher). I have six years of grease and rust and the nuts and bolts weber uses are crap. So screws are stripped. I knew that would be the case... I have broken several bolt extractors and coated them in WD40. Any other...

    Using both a 14.5 and 18.5 Charcoal Chamber for Fuse Method

    I currently use heavy duty "kiln bricks" when I want to use the "Fuse Method" in my 18.5 WSM. I do this as it is easier (for me) to stack the charcoal higher and it does not fall down in the middle. I do wonder if the bricks are both good and bad? (1) They do a great job of absorbing and...

    Source for WSM 22" custom straps? Lower water pan...

    I am interested in lowering my water pan and adding a 3rd shelf. I can take my exisiting straps to a local metal shop and likely get what I need done. But I am wondering if anyone knows of a source who does these already? I know lots of folks sell various mods (like lid hinges) so hoping someone...

    4 Packer Cut Briskets on WSM 22"?

    I am doing a smoke for a local UK resteraunt this weekend. I did it last year and borrowed a WSM from a buddy so had two WSM and did 4 biskets plus some ribs. This year, I just have my 22 WSM but think I can get 4 packers on it. I use soup cans on my bottom rack and then plan to use a smaller...

    Condensation inside WSM?

    Hi folks, First, great site and great forum - so helpful to have. Big thanks to all involved with it... I live in the UK and get a ton of water inside my WSM between uses. I have a proper cover on it so I am guessing it is condensation from the WSM heting up and then colling down in the humid...
