Hello everyone. I'm sure there is a post here somewhere about this topic, but I can't find it. I've started finding older, used Weber gas grills on FB, CL, etc and cleaning and repairing them for re-sale. Many are free, some I pay up to about $40 for. I then power wash them and put in new...

Got one of these. Like the idea of it as it can be used with any grill. Just getting started with it, but since you have to use with the grill cover off, it burns through charcoal quickly. Anyone have one? If yes, any tips? If no, general thoughts? Thanks!

Sorry not a Weber branded item. Just got one of these. Anyone else have one? Would love to hear your thoughts and comments. Started a Facebook group for more discussion if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628752483858969/

Two questions: 1. Are there any lower cost options to the Weber rotisserie for 22.5" kettle grill? Would love to get it, but my performer is at our vacation home and only gets limited use. $150 is too much for the amount I would use it at this location. 2. Are there ANY rotisserie options...

We recently moved to a predominately Portuguese neighborhood in eastern MA. The neighbor behind our house had what we thought was a cinder block shed with a small chimney. In the middle of January, we saw smoke coming out of the chimney quite often. We thought she was possibly providing heat...

Need everyone's help with this one. A friend found this unit in the backyard of a house they are moving into. Definitely a Performer. Personally, I've never seen one like this/this old. The propane tank is a strange size. The charcoal baskets inside are all wire. They look like they are...

I was flipping through my copy of Charcuterie to find the next cured meat project that I wanted to tackle and came across this simple recipe. The book leaves the choice of vegetables, spices and other flavorings to the reader. I went with what we had at the time which was: -Zuccini, sliced...

Making pulled pork for a local Oktoberfest this weekend. We're expecting to serve 200, so we've purchased and prepped 10 butts. At 5:30am this morning, I squeezed 8 of them into my 22.5" WSM. It was tight, but I did my best to ensure air flow in and around each butt. At last check (11am) we...

Received my new 26.75" OTG from Amazon yesterday. When I opened there was some damage (cover bent, finish on base of grill significantly scraped, one leg bent). When I went back to Amazon for the return, I could not exchange since they were out of stock. There was also a message on the site...

I'll post this one here too (probably makes more sense here!) A new 26.75" OTG is on its way to me now. While I wait, I've been cruising the net for accessories that are specifically made for the 26.75" model and I'm not having any luck. Any suggestions (Weber branded items or otherwise)...

Just ordered the 26.75" one touch gold to replace a el-cheapo Walmart kettle (that actually lasted pretty well in the crazy New England weather). As I wait, I have been cruising the net looking at available accessories and I'm not finding much specifically for the 26.75". Any suggestions for...

Any feed back on this contest? The website for the Peters Pond makes the location look good. And the entry fee is reasonable. Just trying to plan out the summer! Thanks....

To those of you who have competed in this one before, what are my chances of getting selected to compete? I've only competed in one other competition a couple years ago. I finished in the middle of the pack in each category (around 20th out of 40 teams). Is it even worth me sending in the...

Noticed that Home Depot will be carrying cherry and apple wood chips and chunks this year. In the past all I could find at HD was hickory and mesquite.

Went to my local Home Depot store in Auburn, MA this weekend. They had a pallet display of competition briquttes for only $3.16 per bag. They didn't have any of these in the main grill aisle. Makes me think that these won't be available much longer. Has Kingsford discontinued them? By the...

Wanted to share what I found with everyone here. The Serious Eats website posted this Barbecue Style Guide. Great detailed descriptions and photos!

I'm possibly interested in a ranch kettle. It's just the wife and I, but we like to entertain often. My question is that when we are not entertaining a big crowd, can you easily build a smaller fire to cook a small amount of food for just two?

Any suggestions here? Per my previous post, "The Butcher Shop" in the South End of Boston was a great take last weekend....I'll take any suggestions you have nationwide!

Went here for dinner over the weekend. Great charcuterie including pate and terrines. Anyone else been?

Just bought Ruhlman's book and tried some fresh sausage recipes over the weekend. Came out great! Next I want to do some dry curing (salami, pancetta, ham, etc). I want to create the right temp/humidity combination, but my basement is too dry. Does anyone out there have photos/plans for a...
