    Things that make you SMILE...or "the Human Interest thread"

    Folks, I like the camaraderie here. I joined because of the common hardware of grilling equipment. But it has blossomed to much more of a "virtual family" of sorts. I like the humor thread and love the music conversations. May I humbly suggest another topic of good will: A topic of good...

    I want to use charcoal in my gas grill- how best to go about it?

    I would like to start using charcoal brickettes in my Weber Genesis as indicated in my signature. Should I put some sort of thick foil pan over the burners before I do this? If so, how does the flame of the burners start the coal to heat up? Or should I just put the coals directly on the...

    What music streaming services do you recommend...?

    I have used Pandora and most recently Amazon Prime. I pay for the privileged of not hearing commercials. Pandora seemed to repeat too many songs within a genre... even within a few hours and definetly the next day I just canceled Amazon. Had a 4 month trial period for $0.99/ month...

    CGI opinion... what do you think...?

    I happen to be watching a movie titled "We Go in at Dawn." It is a WWII setting, whose story line is that of trying to recapture back from the Axis a major planner of the Normandy Invasion. A semi-historical drama of the ilk that I enjoy watching. That aside... There is a scene that did not...

    Anyone have a built-in Weber grill...?

    I am working on an upscale multi-family residential project. The Client has expressed desire to have a built-in type of grill on the roof deck. Something along the caliber of a Summit S-660 or equivalent. I am reaching out to inquire if anyone has done this type of installation and...

    The Great Conjunction: Saturn and Jupiter

    Did anyone get a chance to see it? Even with the naked eye, one was able to see both planets closing in on each other. I went to a neighbors, next property over, who has a rather sizable telescope to actually view the planets themselves! The rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter were easily...

    Arc welding in the oven...

    First time ever experiencing an element giving out... was wanting to heat up lunch today when this happened. ...it looked and sounded just like a stick welder! Cannot find an element locally, need to order and will be over a week away. Good thing I have a grill for cooking dinner tonight.

    My very own Weber Christmas Story… (long)

    It was like a scene from “A Christmas Story” but I did not poke my eye out. So… living in the High Country at just under 10,000 feet has its foibles. Air is thin, summers are short, hence long winters. It can present some challenges to grilling as well. Winter, despite the calendar saying...

    All in a day's work... pass the popcorn...

    Kinda' gave me a lump in my throat reading this. I like how at the end he sits down and grabs some popcorn as if no big deal. It takes some stones and talent to sing impromptu a difficult song. A class-act in my opinion. Dad steps up at son's basketball game after audio malfunctions, sings...

    What NOT to do... (WARNING: offensive content)

    It’s not uncommon for people to share cooking tips on social media, especially if it’s something that they think is a good idea. But while some of these hacks may indeed reveal an easier way to cook a dish, others are more controversial. For example, a young woman on TikTok recently posted a...

    Meaning behind the avitar...

    I am fortunate to live in an area where wildlife are my neighbors. Deer, elk, bear and moose abound as do fox, coyote and many ground critters. A new mama moose and her baby came by today to show off the little one. I believe this is the first calf for this cow. The moose even come...

    Do you have a name for your grill...?

    Any pet names or nicknames for your grilling apparatus? Trying to come up with one for mine.... It is stainless steel and was thinking of calling it "The Silver Bullet" but I am not a Coors Light fan but do like the music of Bob Seger. I am leaning towards calling it the "S.S. Broadway."...

    Effect of altitude on gas grill…?

    Effect of altitude on gas grill…? I live at very high altitude in the Colorado mountains which affects virtually everything up here. Feeling tired? Altitude. Poor automobile fuel mileage? Altitude. Farting too much? Altitude. The less oxygen is something that us living up here need...

    Greetings from the High Country (altitude, not substance.) I am frank, living at just about 10,000 feet elevation. Recent new owner of a Genesis® II S-435 stainless LP grill with sear burner. It was a floor model from a popular home center that had that plastic film stuck (vulcanized) to the...
