Did my first smoke on my new WSM 14.5. I used the base from the old one only because I haven't put clamps on the new charcoal basket. One thing I noticed is that the new body seems to be a bit loose in the 5 year old base and the old body seems a bit tight in the new base. I wonder if they...

I set up my new 14.5 and it has the heat shield inside the 14.5. Looking at my older one the heat shield is missing. I was wondering does this really matter? I have the two 14.5's set on cinder blocks on a brick patio. is the shield to protect the inside of the base or to protect say a deck...

I hadn't used my 22.5 in several years, about 5, finally got up enough courage to sell it. I then used the proceeds to buy a second 14! I love my 14, even with my infirmaties I can easily use it and since there are just 3 of us it cooks enough for us. I can do 4 racks of pork ribs (cut in...

I have been considering a pellet smoker. Currently I have a WSM 22 and 14, haven't used the 22 in about 5 years as it is just 3 of us and the 14 fits the bill. Also have a Silver B and Genesis Gold. I am going to be getting rid of the 22 and probably the Silver B. My sister-in-law raves...

I have a early 2000's Genesis Gold B bought it for $50 and they guy had it on natural gas, I put a regulator on it and have been running propane through it but lately it isn't put out that much flame and if I turn on the gas too fast it won't give any flame. I checked all the tubes for spider...

I just picked up a Cajun Bandit lid hinge and have not installed it yet, but reading and also just looking it looks like the Weber cover for the 22 won't fit once I put on the hinge. What do people do to cover the smoker? Moving it is not an option and it lives outside year round

I have a Silver B and Gold B, 1999 and 2004 respectively. When I got two new 20 pound tanks the handgrip areas are formed for comfort not to be held by a Weber propane scale and holder. do they make different attachments? or should I try to bubba something up?

I routinely run my Gold (and my older Silver B) at 450-500 and to start the steak I will hit 550. I saw a roadside grill the other day, the firebox was badly warped, looked like it had a fire and it warped the cast iron box. I left it since at the time I didn't need any parts. The question I...

I was thinking of adding some functionality to my Genesis Gold and had thought about the grate plates or whatever they are called, since I was mostly thinking of indirect cooking, decided with my rib-o-lator I didn't need it. Now I am wondering about some sort of grill mat or cast iron...

Every so often I check CL to see what might be there. Yesterday I saw a Genesis Gold for $50. I called the guy and asked if there was any rust. He said no but the hangers for the grease drip tray were falling off. I went and checked it out. The only thing wrong with the grill, other than...

I was allowed to do a Birthday BBQ for myself, would have been nice to have someone do it for me but I did get to fire up all my stuff, except the 22. We were supposed to have 7 people but my son got tied up on the Ambulance and his girlfriend was working at the hospital. I did 2 racks of...

The weld on my lid handle let go this weekend during a cook on Sunday. I called Weber on Monday and explained what happened and they are sending be out a brand new lid free! I am happy with that, although it is also bad, because if they said they wouldn't I would have had an excuse to buy...

I finally broke down and decided to try pork and beef short ribs on my Silver B. I have had the side mount wood chip holder and smaller grate for some time. I turned on the back burner (3 burner unit) and it at about 3/4 setting it held the temp at 250 steady and then at full it gets me 275...

KBB is on sale this weekend at Home Depot $9.88 for 2 bags

I went to use my 14.5 this weekend and when I opened it I found mold inside it. It looks like it had gotten wet inside and grew some mold. I scrapped it all out and then heated it up, hot. I did 4 racks of ribs Saturday and everyone lived! There is a new BBQ place at my house! On my HO...

Guys I have changed my email to see if I am having a problem with multiple forums or just one. I had changed my email from my old one, due to excessive spam to one with the domain @bpdguns.com I think I am getting instant replies here but haven't had one in a while (you have to post to get...

I have bad knees so find that bending down to adjust the vents on the bottom of the WSM 22.5 is tough, especially in the back as I have a small wall on the patio. I looked at what I did with my 14.5 putting it on blocks on end and decided that putting the 22.5 on blocks laid flat would make it...

I was looking for a better way than paper to start my charcoal chimney for my Weber Smokey Mountains. I thought of my Coleman 425F stove that was all rusted out, but the tank was sound and it lights up. I put my chimney on the stove and viola coal in 10 minutes!

A friend of mine just bought a Saber infrared grill. I told him "but it is not a Weber" At the same time I have heard that the new Webers are as solidly made as the old one. His Saber weights 210 pounds. Has anyone had experience with Saber grills? Also how do the new Weber Genesis and...

I am going to try a new brisket recipe this weekend, it is designed for a grill but I was thinking about how to get smoke on it. The recipe calls for brouwn sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar, canola oil, dark corn syrup, mustard, horseradish and garlic clove stir cook 3-4 minutes and put in a...
