Thanks Bob. Not sure what you mean checking this, for round shape? Is it an easy fix?

So... I had some issues with the brisket in advance so I decided to do it on its own. (A bit of the top muscle fell off!). It actually ended up being brilliant. New WSM was running hot so it did it faster than I would ordinarily have liked (<4kg brisket done in around 6 hours). Wrapped in...

I did the first solo BBQ on it over the weekend. Did a Brisket and then did a pork shoulder after (not together). Spectacular success. I notice that the middle section when I was cleaning it was slightly shakey, ie not 100% flat on the base. Very slight. Is this normal, should I be concerned...

Thanks guys

Hi, Any problems doing both at the same time? Is it ok to have one dripping on the other? WOuld you put foil on top of the top grate? Would you put the brisket or the pork on the top rack? Thanks!

Did a first cook on it on a stag weekend (bachelor party). A few of us brought BBQs down. Did pork shoulder and some ribs. The results were delicious. Delighted with it. Will do a brisket next. (My slight annoyance is that the Weber Rib Rack I bought is too big for the top shelf). For the clean...

Cheers! Slightly concerned to learn that the cover is not waterproof as I need to store it outside on a balcony. Google is not turning up much in the way of waterproof covers, can anyone recommend one?

Re: rocking grill, read the FAQs here and slightly bent it which fixed it

I assembled it tonight. Delighted. The top grill is not 100% steady, is that normal (slight wobble, bottom grill steady) and will it make any difference to the meat? I ordered the coal bucket and Maverick probes online, waiting for delivery. Will season the BBQ over the weekend. Any tips...

Thanks for all the advice. Arrived by delivery today (very quick indeed). Can't wait to fire it up, no doubt I will be spamming this forum with lots of beginners questions in the meantime!

Over the moon, can't wait to fire her up. I will be doing brisket etc for the first time on Saturday week. What thermometer probe would you recommend? Are they all reliable, ie: any would do?

Nice, thanks!

Hi Bob, Sadly not Harry Soo. It's a local company which does BBQ classes every week. I am doing this class this coming Saturday

RRP is $749 here. Found someone selling a new one for $100 less than that on eBay, and eBay were offering a 10% discount on Australian based sales this weekend so I have ordered it. I will have the 18" on Wednesday, can't wait. Thanks for all the advice. It does seem that 18" suits my needs...

What would you recommend? I will not use it too often, but when I do it is going to be for 10+ people. I really want to do briskets and ribs concurrently and other things, but I have a Q as well. Slightly concerned at reading people modifying the meat to fit the 18? I would hate to regret not...

Thanks. Craiglist isn't really big here but Gumtree is, I will keep an eye on it. I am doing an American Smoking BBQ course here in a couple of weeks, I may hold off buying one of my own until after that.

Cheers. Food for thought there. I am reading on many places, including here, about briskets not fitting on the 18", likewise with full ribs? I guess it is manageable then?

Wow that is embarassing for my first post! In the shops they said it isn't sold and all the online posts I could find backed it up, but I should have went to the source! Cheers

Hi guys, In Australia the only WSMs sold are the 14.5" and 18.5". Sadly the 22.5" is not sold here. I really want to get a WSM to do my favourites (brisket, racks of ribs) and perhaps experiment with other stuff like Christmas turkey etc. Family occasions and having mates over. The 18.5 is...

Hi, New to the forum, work in IT living in Sydney originally from Ireland. Have a Weber Q bbq, doing homework on buying a smoker to move into some smokey American BBQ (slow-cooked brisket etc). Hoping to get some advice on buying a smoker and doing some smoking here!
