I made this out of some spare expanded metal. Cut a piece to match the charcoal grate, but 2 inches longer. Then measure about 2 inches and bend one end up for the divider. It might not be exactly 2", but you'll want to not bend too much to hit the upper grate. Then cut the remaining flat...

I'm considering getting a 18" original kettle, adding an ash catcher and cutting the legs to make it more portable. I know ther Jumbo Joe is out ther also, but it's too much trouble to add a modify a 1-touch and add an ash catcher. So, I'm wondering if anyone has just the height (or...

I though all the smokey joe premium models had the side vents and then I saw one of these online - it's got a bottom vent. Anyone ever seen one of these before? From what I've read, the bottom vent is more desirable than the side vents, right?

My charcoal go anwhere has stubborn vent sliders and they also get super hot. Just wondering if there are any suggestions or modifications to solve both issues? Thanks!

I know you can use a tamale pot to make a mini WSM. With that in mind, a friend asked me if I knew of an easy way to make a rib hanger setup for his 14.5" WSM. (I have an 18" WSM with a Gateway Rib Hanger and he's trying to get some hanging action on his 14"). I'm wondering if anyone has...

It looks like the Weber hanging rack (#7472) for my 18" is no longer available from Weber or Amazon, so I'm thinking of making my own. There are a few posts here of people with a DIY hanger, but photobucket is blocking those pics. Does anyone have an pics they can share? If you've got a good...

I got tired of picking up my WSM to move it; having to use my home depot TV tray as a table; and no place to put the lid. I made this simple cart from 3.5" fence pickets, a 2x3x8 stud, 2 folding shelf brackets, and some casters. Here it is with the shelf folded down. Shelf Up Utility...

I've got a 14" & 18.5" smokey mountain and a 6 burner Summit Gas grill (and a smoky joe - not sure if that counts). I knew I was weak in the charcoal department already and confirmed it when I tried converting my 18.5" smokey mountain into a charcoal grill by raising the charcoal rack to the...

Last Friday, one of the Walmarts here in Sacramento, CA had the 14.5" WSM on clearance for $100. I didn't buy it at the time because I already have a 18" and I also built a mini WSM. But, i got to thinking about what a great price it was, so Saturday morning I got up early hoping they would...

I'm working on some ribs right now on my Q320. Instead of foil as a heat shield, I'm using my grillgrates. I'm also using some expanded metal on top of the grillgrates to hold the ribs. Using just the middle burner on "4", I've got it settled in at 250 degrees. I sprinkled a few pellets on...

I have an old Silver A that I bought it for $25 awhile ago. I also have a 6 burner Summit, which is my "real" grill and I use it when I have to cook for the family. I like having the smaller Silver A for small cooks as I don't have to fire up the beast (Summit) for just a couple of items...

I'm not sure the exact model numbers of the two Q grills I have, but they are older and were made to accept only the skinny 14.1 oz propane bottles. I believe my grills are Q100 and a Q200 - the stickers on both are long gone. I normally use a hose to a 5 gallon tank, but I wanted to be able...

I picked up this Silver A along with a full tank of propane for $25 last weekend. It's in great shape, but the flavorizer bars are very rusted out. I already have a new 6 Burner Summit that my wife recently surprised me with, so for obvious reasons, I can't be using this Silver A too much. It...

Hi All, My wife surprised me by ordering me a Summit S-620 and it's due to arrive today. I know I need to run it to burn off any manufacturing junk. Is there anything else or suggestions I should do before my first cook? Thanks!
