    Cast Iron grates???

    I absolutely love my cast iron grates! I bought these from Amazon for less than 40 bucks: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007ZLIZU4/tvwb-20 They are made by Stok and fit the performer perfectly. It even has a center cut out for you to add charcoal, and it is designed with a notch to fit...

    22.5 on back order form factory

    The only reason I didn't go through amazon was because I had a Lowes gift card. Why don't you cancel your order an go through Amazon? You'd lose the discount but the no-tax on amazon will more than cover that. Also, if you have Amazon Prime, 2 day shipping is free. You could be smoking for...

    22.5 on back order form factory

    I ordered my 22.5 from lowes on 5/10 and picked it up yesterday. I called to check on the order after reading this thread. The email from lowes said it wouldn't be in til the end of the month. Needless to say I was happily surprised! So was the buddy I gave my old 18.5 to!

    Why do you use the gas assist?

    Thanks for all the replies. I have been using the gas assist and here are my thoughts: It's nice not to have to use paper when I use the chimney. I put it over the burner for 5-10 minutes and its done. It does take about half an hour for the top coals to turn gray. Is that normal? I've...

    Why do you use the gas assist?

    Ok guys, I think I am figuring this out. It does seem very convinient to leave the coal in the performer when finished and quickly lighting them when you need to cook again. If you don't use the charcoal baskets, do you just make a pyramid of coals over where the burner is? The weber owners...

    Why do you use the gas assist?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. If I am reading correctly, you use the chimney on top of the burner with out newspaper? Also, If you are doing short cooks and shutting vents to conserve charcoal, does this mean you are using the charcoal holders? Thanks again.

    Help! Butt finished way too early for tonight's dinner

    I am in a similar situation right now! Doing 4 butts. The two smaller ones (6.5lb) are on the bottom rack. They've been in for 12 hours at 230. I went to baste and the bone is starting to wiggle. They look fantastic. The larger top butts are a few hours away. It's 9:30 and I plan to...

    Just ordered my "free" Performer

    Thanks to all the great people on this site! I just ordered a performer with a rottisserie and a cover. I got it for free for winning a sales contest at work. I am not sure if I will get much use out of the roti but it was part of the package. I never thought I would go away from my Weber...
