I read more and more about the build up under the lid and then the cleaning process but nothing mentioned about how to stop it from returning again. Isn’t there something to use ? Tks. BW

Are griddles in restaurants cast iron ? I have seen what looks a wide scraper used slowly to scrape them to clean. I have 9x16 Lodge double sided griddle I have used on my Genesis 1000 Nat gas grill. Would it work better if I wet sanded it smoother to cook on than seasoned it ? Tks. BW

Did a test. Nat gas grill, mesquite pellets in an Amaze tube and cold smoked 96%hamburger and catfish fillet for over 2rs. Later grilled them on a Lodge cast iron griddle on top of the grates with a un smoked hamburger and another fillet. Yes the smoked burger had flavor and the normal one...

Such a simple test to try soon. Tks. BW

Sorry but a Tri Tip would be more like a celebration dinner. I need to think of something simpler that’s a good test for the added smoke flavor or not produced like some speak so highly of. Tks. BW

9-5-23 SMOKE SUCCESS Finally. I was right about my pellets going bad somehow. I bought a new 20# bag of Traeger pellets. Ez to lite, burn a bit and blow out and watch the smoke rise from inside the Amaze tube. Put it on the unlit Genesis grate and closed the lid. Couple of hours later still...

Tks to all for your opinions! It helps encourage me to take more care of my ‘99 Genesis 1000 with its burner tube directions. BW

Tks for the temp info which has been more important than you might think. It is almost clear to me now that somehow my 20# bag of pellets has changed somehow after I have successfully used them a couple of times even though the bag was resealed and kept in a air conditioned room. Yes, I have...

Tks Bruce but that didn’t help today. I’m thinking now as I’m trying to cold smoke a while before cooking that I’m at a too low temp for the pellets to keep burning and go out. So, how low of a temp do some of you cold smoke with pellets ? Tks. BW

I saw this on another grill website, do you agree ? “Insert two trays and fill with wood pellets to achieve traditional barbecue flavors (recommended usage) Use one tray to infuse food with a more subtle, smoky flavor”. Tks. HW

A reply to my self leaves me wondering! As I wrote back in 3-2023 the pellets worked fine but recently it has been difficult lately to use all of the same equipment as before and get awful results now trying to get the pellets started and be kept working. They keep going out after a short burn...

Weber 1100 nat gas grill. How much smoke is needed inside it while cooking at a low temp ? Tks. BW

Me again, bought today a Amazen expandable tube and a bag of Cabela’s mesquite pellets. 1999 Genesis hasn’t been used since last year, tried all three burners and are ok, used only front one to test set on Med. 70d day and 15-20 mph wind gusts, added pellets to collapsed tube less than half full...

Weber Nat gas grill. Will small smoking pellets laid in a narrow path burn and travel slowly once an end is ignited ? Best to be in a foil tube with vent holes or on a sheet out in the open ? What have you done ? Tks.

SUCCESS ! Cooked it today but air temp was lower a bit, mostly cloudy sky, light cool breeze that made the grill cooler so I needed to set burners L-O-L to get temp set better. It all worked quite good but need to season better next time somehow for better flavor. Tks to all. BW

Tks and when did the Genesis model start ?

Tks to all for the good notes. Yes, dummy here forgot to mention that I did preheat all burners for about 15 min. then did my last single burner test. Previous test after preheat with Front and Rear on low temps quickly got closer to 375-400 is why I tried the single method to try to not cook...

I have a Weber 1999 1100 nat gas grill I bought new. Mixed results with it over the years but I want to do a 6# bone in turkey breast in a pan Sunday if the weather is good. Thinking to treat it like cooking in an oven indoors meaning oiled and seasoned outside at about 325d indirect heat with...

In my old nat gas Weber grill I have replaced my bars with bed frame angle iron. Looking at some sites that sell SS bars some of the comments are "The food tastes better already". Do any of you agree with that comment ? I can only think of two reasons that would cause that to happen. Your...
