    Water pan with clay pot next to overflowing w/ grease

    Jerry they don't have anything to do with each other I was just stating that I can mix the fat when I grind instead of throwing it away you pay the same price per lb. for the fat as you do the leaner meat.

    Water pan with clay pot next to overflowing w/ grease

    Eric, I have done 4 trimmed butts with the clay saucer and have not had a problem with an overflow of grease. I noticed that you have a 12" saucer I use the 14" that may be the difference. I also trim all my butts and like David I have a meat grinder so no need to waste it.

    I also use the PVC gloves for meat handling and you can get them from a local industrial supply company for $2 a pair. I also use the welding gloves for handling fire equipment.

    Green Lightning Shrimp

    I just made it last weekend and I thought it was very good. Nice heat and the garlic/cilantro butter was a nice finish. I have Raichlen's skewers, the flat stainless ones they work great. The food does not spin and you don't have to worry about burning them.

    Lump in Ct.

    Tim, That is correct, If you are coming from 84 east take a right off the Queen St exit I think it is exit 32, Agway will be on your left right after Southington Campers. They are a Weber dealer and they have a nice display that makes me want to break out the credit card every time I'm there.

    Food Sticking to Grates

    I also make sure the grates are clean and I wipe the grates with peanut oil right before I throw the meat on. I find cleaning the grates is easy I just throw them on top of my kettle grate after I get done grilling and open the vents up wide wait till the gunk is cooked down then brush them off...

    A different "knives" question...

    Duncan, I think you answered your own question; the knives you have listed would be a great starting point for anyone.

    Wicked Good Charcoal

    I used some on an overnight and I was very happy with the results. I started with a full ring and after 16hrs. there was still some unburned in the ring. The ash was low and I had no problems maintaining temps. I plan on using them as long as the local supplier has them in stock.

    Wicked Good Charcoal

    Tom, I can't give a fair review on the briquettes yet, I only used them to start my full ring of lump. (Minion Method) They started easy enough with 2 sheets of newspaper with my chimney starter and had no problem bringing the WSM up to temp. I will be traveling the next couple of weeks so I...
