I have an 18 and would cut ribs in half and drape packers over foiled firebricks etc. Finally got a Cajun Bandit 22 conversion for the extra room, (can't have too many smokers). I use a smaller charcoal ring in the 22 conversion as it allows me to pack the charcoal tightly since I use lump.

Just smoked 2 lbs of sharp cheddar today with a high temp of 14F

Don't forget to check out local thrift stores. I got both of my SJS's at a thrift store, $5 and $6 each. WRT cutting the bottom of the tamale steamer, I used a step drill to make a couple of access points and then just used some Wiss snips to cut along the layout line. Much neater cut, just...

I knew my ProQ stacker was going to come in handy sometime.

I use the gas starter system on both my performers as well as for lighting the chimney for minion starts in the WSM and Cajun Bandit. Works great. BTW, scored both performers on CL for a total of $145. Bargains are out there if you are patient.

I use hinged ss grates in my Cajun Bandit on the performer and on my 18.5 WSM. Easy to clean. On the WSM the bottom grate rests firmly on the grate support strap nut about 1/2 inch higher.

I got an adapter with hose and run a 20lb tank to it.

Smoked an 18lb turkey on the Cajun Bandit conversion yesterday. Followed the how to thread for self-basting turkey and used cherry for smoke wood. All I can say is that it is one of the best and simplest recipes that turns out an outstanding meal. Thanks to TVWBB our Christmas dinner was a...

11 pages and no mention of vacuum brewers? I use a Cona D, Yama SY8 with Cory filter rod and Sunbeam Coffeemaster 30c for vacuum brewing duties. Bodum French press is used rarely. Recently picked up a Pyrex 6-9 cup clear glass percolator that still turns out a great cup. Fresh-roasted beans...

I like both #5 and Roxy's and have both on hand for every butt cook...

I agree that the current price can't be justified. I check back with Weber CS periodically to see if they want to sell them at a more reasonable price. The first two I bought from Weber were about $18.00 when they were still shown on the website.

SS 18.5 hinged grates are available from Weber but they are pricey. The part # is 80730. Price as of today is $54.20 plus $7 shipping. Remember Dad2012 code for free shipping when you call.

I just take some crumpled foil and rub them off the lid...works for me

I use a Craycort CI for grilling on the performer. I have two 18.5" SS grates for the WSM and two 22.5" SS grates for the cajun bandit.

I replaced my grates once, with Weber stainless steel...No pitting or peeling of nickel plating.

You are going to love your BBQ Guru. I have had one for a few years now and it has never failed me. Pack your lump tightly, minion start and go to sleep.

Got my EZ Que off ebay and love it. Roadside chicken going on tonight. A rotis gives more options for my grilling, roasts, turkeys, whole chickens in the cradles, Roadside chicken thighs in the basket.

For the charcoal grate, call Weber CS. For cooking grates, I use a pair of hinged 18.5 kettle grates. Works perfectly and readily available. Bottom grate will sit on the bolts just above its regular position.

The method that works best for me is to use my WSM at regular intervals throughout the year. Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas prime rib, New Years Eve MOINKS and Super Bowl Butts worked well for me last year. The only issue I had was an ice plug that formed in the charcoal bowl between New Years...

The picture shows the wood handles and tab covers after 2 butt cooks. I have been surprised that they don't seem to pickup much smoke crud. I just applied Watco oil to finish them and it seems to be working.
