I finally found a Red SS Performer (1999) Everything is in pretty good shape... I will probably replace the ash catcher and ring, but this one functions fine. I love it so far. Lump charcoal lit up in minutes. I have been obsessed with Mexican food lately, so we had Discada Fajitas... Beef...

Saw the 26.5 make a cameo on Top Chef tonight. Pretty cool to see those things lined up. Couldn't help but think some of you guys could give them a run for their money when it comes to grilling. Probably blow some of them away! The challenge was grilled picnic food. I can't decide what I...

This March I went to New Orleans with some friends and tasted something that changed my life.... Charbroiled Oysters at Drago's Ever since, I have wanted to make them at home. Well, Wednesday was the day. I found a place with good Oysters for about 9 bucks a dozen.(Bob's Seafood in U City)...

Whether you grill every day, a few times per week, or just every once in a while... You probably have a few things that just make you happy every time you use them. You know, that tool, rub, sauce, or accessory you want to buy AGAIN, every time you see it in a store or online. I envy the CI...

I love tuna sandwiches. I love grilled tuna. I love Mexican Tortas. I love Spice. Lets combine all that love into a Spicy Grilled Tuna Torta. Larry Wolfe had been posting some great pics and descriptions of grilled fish... I was inspired. Thanks Larry! Here is a full grill. The Spicy...

Thank you for the suggestion, Jim Lampe! After reading, and seeing how awesome this thing is from Jim's posts. I ordered one today. This thing is literally a plow disk like those used for farming. 22 pounds. 22 inches. It will fit right on my kettle. Photos to come. With Weber no longer making...

Here are some pork steaks we grilled up last weekend. I basted them in a mix of vinegar, water, Stubbs original rub, and some Melinda's chipotle sauce (you guys gotta try Melinda's Chipotle Sauce). After a couple of hours, the pork steaks start to fall apart... Lots of flipping and basting...

This setup has been working well for long, slow, low cooks. It has given me the most even cooking I have seen in my OTS kettle. It was definitely inspired by the Smokenator. Bricks under a drip pan really seem to even out the heat... Especially in the winter. Here is the heat shield. Made...

I finally made some Roadside Chicken of my own. Thanks for the inspiration, guys. I wish my photos were as good as the ones you guys post, but you will get the idea. Roadside Chicken and ABT's Roadside Chicken all Finished I loved it. We also made some hot sauce today. Habanero, Jalepeno...

Richard's Ribs 10727 Big Bend Rd. Kirkwood, MO 63122 This place is very near Big Bend and Lindbergh(Kirkwood) First, this is a homestyle BBQ joint. It is not a modern competition style place like Pappy's. I love all BBQ, but expectations are important. Richard at Richard's Ribs does a lot...

What are some of your favorite hot sauces? I have always liked Franks Red Hot sauce, Texas Petes, chalula, and tobasco. But, recently I have been completely addicted to a lot of different Habanero sauces... Some with carrot and other veggie or fruit bases. Are there any chilliheads out there...

Hey guys. I ran into a cool idea the other day. Check out the link at the end of this post. A guy made a propane pizza oven by placing an 18 inch kettle inside a 22 inch with insulation between. This looks like a great way to make a very efficient version of our beloved Weber kettle. I would...

How many racks of baby back ribs can you fit on one of these things. I get pretty large slabs of bb's from Costco, and would robably use rib racks on both grates. I'm thinking 12 racks would fill it up pretty full. It would be really nice to see some pictures of your 22" WSM's totally full of...
