I own a 2008 Summit LP grill that I completely rebuilt in 2017. Keep it covered with a canopy and it performs like a champ. 2 WSM’s both with double covers. Was having mold issues in both, the 2 covers with a couple of vents partially open, no issues whatsoever. Definitely a fan of covers.

My older Summit has a painted cab and the only are that rusted was the LP tank hole edges. I made it into an SS cabinet with a paint called ALLOY BOND liquid Stainless steel, spray. There are a lot of others out there that claim a lot, this stuff is the real deal. No priming, just scrape, sand...

I used the Cowboy briqs awhile back. Found them on sale at Costco. They worked well. I found the density of the RO Chefs Select to burn forever with little ash left over. The Vortex is a nice add-on too. Use that when hanging sausage.

I use a combo of RO Chefs select & B&B OAK lump. The lump is readily available my local Ace & RO Chefs select online, aka: Amazon. Tried JD in the WSM and did not like the arid flavor and the quick burn at all. With the 2 I use, the price is right, flavor is great, ash is minimal. I also got a...

I do the grill mark method on my Summit usually to judge and see the initial color I want. Then I finish indirect on the upper/warming rack which blends the marks and gives a nice crust & finish on steaks & CC Berkshire pork chops. Chicken of any kind never sees the grates. Always the upper rack...

Hey Andrew, a big West Sacramento welcome to you!! I have used a lot of both, and I love the B&B Oak lump. I agree with a previous suggestion, breaking up the bigger pieces to be more uniform helps a lot. I also replaced my basket with a vortex plate/basket (better airflow, overall). I often...

Can't imagine ever having to abandon smoking on my WSM because of a climate/drought ban. That plain sucks! I love the cook though. I definitely plan to try that recipe. May try Chili/cheese Frito's for the coating? Hmmm?:unsure: Sorry you have to deal with that Rich.

I agree with you that TW customer service is great, no question, but the original SMOKE unit i had did not have access with billows. It had no bluetooth connectivity, just the remote handheld, and was only set up for 2 probes. The GrillEye for $70.00 has BT connectivity, comes with 4 commercial...

I forgot to mention that I moved on from my thermoworks Smoke into a Grill eye unit. (a gift from my bride, as was the BBQ dragon) With 6 probes and app based use, it has worked out well. Looked like a cheaply made unit at the time, but once I used it, it has performed way better than expected &...

Awesome! Seen these too!

I really appreciate the feedback. I've seen the thermoworks and I have some of there stuff. I have heard some good things about the Flame boss 400. Any thoughts good/bad about this unit?

Amen & great idea!!

I found some at my local Ace Hardware in Orangevale @ $29.95/20lb.bag. I was excited and had been wanting to try on recommendation from Harry Soo's channel. Used it twice, and while I felt it was nice dense even size chunks, I found it to give off some errant smoke and flavors I didn't like. Was...

I have a BBQ DRAGON blower and use it to start & I thought, help me to regulate temps in my WSM 22.5". It didn't do what i'd hoped it would do and I was hoping to get some feedback on regulator kits and see if I need to have a temp gauge along with the blower or whether, I just set it up wrong...

sorry for the late response Rich. Here is a photo of the brand of seasoning and tweaks to the recipe i used. Notes are on the recipe

In the last 2 years I’ve started making fresh sausage. From select, grinding & blending, it’s been a lot of fun. Over the Christmas holiday I made my 1st cured & Smoked Andouille! Made 25lbs and turned out absolutely fabulous. Used the hanger system with my 22.5” WSM & vortex basket/baffle and...

I have a have a pretty simple and full proof apple brine that is easy and well received by anyone who is around to enjoy. I use my WSM, and smoke at 275 to 300 max, using briquettes & lump with some oak or apple wood for smoke. Takes about 3-1/2 hrs and it is fabulous! Skin is always an issue. I...

Tony, I replaced my Weber/WSM lid thermometer on my 18'5" with a Tel Tru version that fits nicely over the bezel, for $32.00/Amazon with a longer stem, (mine was 2.5") and I found that grate temps and lid temps were much more in line/accurate. I totally agree with Brett that you just have to be...

I happened to find the post oak at my local ACE Hardware, which is where I also bought my latest 22.5" WSM. They have a nice bbq section and they are almost everywhere. They also are selling Jealous Devil lump charcoal (comparable in price to Amazon for 20lb. bags) now as well which I will be...

All, I figured I would get some blow back here, however, I think we might be missing the point. I didn’t hear anyone say they have used Cowboy “Southern Style”. Just doggin’ on the brand. And that’s ok. It seems to be harder to find. I’ve looked. Only seen it at Lowes. And the Weber briqs have...
