    Reheating from frozen foodsaver packets

    So I got a foodsaver over the winter and with the nice weather have been smoking and saving the leftovers. I've read that lots of people just drop the bag in simmering water and let it go. When I've tried that, I've gotten frozen chunks in the middle each time that I had to microwave out after...

    Grilled Eggplant w/bruschetta

    So on my way home today it was so nice I knew I had to grill, but didn't feel like a burger and ate chicken all weekend, so that was out. I saw that my mom had dropped off a bowl of overflow tomatoes from her garden and thought that maybe I could dice up some of the tomatoes. I remembered a big...

    Grate replacement: Weber stainless or charbroil cast iron?

    Just like the topic says, i'm curious to hear opinions as to which grate I should switch my old rusty performer grate to. Price is almost identical-$37 shipped for the stainless vs $$35 shipped for the cast iron. I have some old gas cast grates I can put on top of thin ones, but they don't fit...

    First charcoal grilling on the Performer

    So I've been cooking with charcoal for around a year since I got my WSM. Prior to that I was strictly a gas grill guy. After seeing how amazing the WSM was, and how it was designed to help make amazing food, I read a lot here and eventually acquired a Performer on the super cheap (see charcoal...

    Behold! The smoker cart of awesomness!!!!!

    So, I got to thinking, my smoker could really use a table. And we all need a place to light our charcoal. So, a neighbor was getting rid of an old Charbroil (actually made in the USA, with a welded steel frame-it must of been really old). I grabbed another complete hunk of crap gasser somebody...

    Just joined the Performer club

    Posted this in trading post to brag, but had to give a post a permanent home too. Picked up my first performer tonight. Grey one, needs a little TLC (some rust on the grates, missing thermometer, charcoal baskets in rough shape) but lid, bowl and frame in excellent shape. Came with a full bag...

    Capturing drippings on 2 birds

    So I'm considering doing 2 birds this weekend as part of a "friend" thanksgiving. If I use each rack to hold 1 bird, what's the best way to capture drippings? Let everything collect in the empty foiled pan? Rig up a disposable aluminum roaster under the top grate? Have them each sit in a...

    Making coffee?

    Trying to sell my dad on a Weber Q as a 1 stop shop for camping. Will it double as a regular Coleman grill? Most importantly, can you make coffee and bacon & eggs on it? Thanks! J

    Cooking ribs and turkey breast together?

    I was planning on firing up the WSM to make some nice spares for dinner. Ribs I've done before. I also thought that I'd try my first turkey breast to Jane for lunches during the week, and picked up a 7ish pound bone in breast. Planning on shooting for a 250 smoke temp with maple and cherry...

    Menu ideas?

    I'm having a group of friends over this weekend and want to do a nice spread without breaking the bank. I've got the grill basics (hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken breasts, etc...) covered. I'm going to definitely be doing a shoulder, ABTs, and at least 1 chicken, either beer can or rotisserie on...

    Problem with temps too high

    Hi to all. I am a newbie to the WSM but have done a little electric smoking before. My stable now includes an 18.5 WSM thanks to a yard sale score ($15 with a cover? SOLD!). I jumped into the charcoal scene with both feet and broke it in the day I got it with an overnight pork shoulder smoke...
