    Is a BBQ cover worth using

    I do wonder whether it is worth using BBQ covers every-time I take one off my WSM or Kettle I find the BBQ lids and sides covered in moisture. Surely it would be better to let the air dry things out and dispense with the covers through the winter months. What do you guys do?

    Are Heat Beads too Hot for WSM?

Heat Beads are not spoken of much on this forum so I wonder if it is an unfamiliar product to Americans, it is after...

    WSM winter storage

    As winter approaches I usually move my BBQs into the shed or garage only getting them out as and when I use them. However now I have a brand new WSM I'm getting short of space. What do you guys do, leave the stuff outside all year round? Will the equipment take the weather?

    WSM unpacked and ready to cook

    Having introduced myself last week, I thought I would write an update now that my WSM has arrived. Amazon UK does not sell the WSM so I purchased online from a BBQ retailer called BBQ’s Galore, they seem to have the best prices here in England. After much reading on this incredibly informative...
