    Wings on my new 22.5"

    I just fitted my 22.5" with a ss door from CB. The price was decent, but the the 50% s&h from CB sucks! Although it's a drop in the bucket, considering the price of the smoker, the meat I'll cook, and the charcoal I'll burn. Hopefully, I'll be able to shut it down more effectively. The new...

    New addition to the family - she's 22.5"

    Back in early December I placed an order for a new WSM 22.5" from BBQs Galore. I stipulated that I wouldn't take delivery unless it were a new 2014 with grommet. They called their warehouse and arranged for the special order with Weber. After multiple calls and 7 weeks of waiting, they said...

    Tribute to Tony and Maribel

    Over the past weeks I've seen many posts (here and on other boards) giving nods to Tony and Maribel for their inspiration. So I thought this would be a good place to post your cooks which have been inspired by them. Thanks to you both! You have elevated the community.

    From scratch beans...how do you cook and prepare them?

    I love refried beans! My wife, bless her heart, has made frijoles for me ONCE. After that, I was afraid I was going to explode. She keeps on offering to make more, but I'm not sure my insides can handle it again. Any tips on how to make them without the GI trauma? And, any tips on how to...

    New member of my (Weber) family

    After reading so many threads about mini conversions and realizing the merits of having one, I finally decided to build one. As time has permitted, I've built it over the last month or so. As such, the photo-documentary aspect of this post will lack. Anyhoo, my newborn is a SJS... Here she is...

    Weber Customer Service

    I called Weber Customer Service today to order a new rear leg for my 26.75" kettle. The service rep was very polite and said they will send me two new rear legs and hubcaps. The latch on my 18.5" WSM also broke and they're sending me a new door assembly to boot. She didn't ask for pics, but...

    Friendly reminder to remove ash from charcoal ring...

    Finally, after an hour and a half of stoking the coals, kicking the legs and leaving the door open, my WSM is up to temp. I've been piling new on top of used for the last several cooks. I remembered to clean out the ash from the bottom of the bowl, but forgot to shake the briqs to remove all...

    Eyelets on an 18"

    Please excuse my ignorance...I've searched and would like to know if the Cajun eyelets fit into the screws that are already there? I just purchased an 18" WSM last month and it has remained dormant. Just want a great first run! Thanks for your input! Miguel

    The Mav - a first timers review

    I'm a semi-proud new owner of the Maverick ET-73. Before I hit click on Amazon I read all of the reviews looking for any short comings. I quickly realized that it doesn't have a great range, but I thought that I wouldn't be affected because my 26.75" is right outside my kitchen. Ooh, how I was...
