Still trying to get the hang of brisket in the WSM, spent the last 40 years smoking briskets on an offset stick burner. This one I cooked low and slow for 15 hours, 5 then turned over, 5 more then foiled for five. Tender but a bit dry for my taste. Need more practice.
Happy 4th to all. I put this in the grilling section, guess this is the proper place. Fired up the new Klose grill and put on a couple of flat irons. Hash brown casserole, green beans and creamy horseradish sauce. Simple food, simple pictures, good eats.
Picked up a steak grill off CL a while back, not free and probably not cheap by some standards but still about 1/4 of what it would have cost new even after having a cart put under it. It was in a counter in someones backyard and they had decided they wanted to put in a new pool so they were...
Got tired of waiting on a 22.5 to show up on CL so ordered one from Amazon. Decided to do a 14 lb brisket tonight. Before I started I got the wheels put on, best thing since sliced bread, thank you Mr. Lampe, it may not have been your idea but it was your pics that sent me to Lowe's this...
Cleaned out the garage and took the opportunity to wipe down the grills. Just waiting to find a red 26 bar b kettle and a cheap ranch and I'll be finished
Picked up a grill off CL, it is a DI (2007) Platimum. The color is some shade of green but it seems a lot lighter than any of the ones I have seen, like the C&B green. It is brand new except for the frame, spotless, I guess someone got a warranty replacement on the bowl and lid and ash catcher...
This kettle has a wood two rivet handle, that makes it after '63. It has "patent pending" on the vent, don't know which patent, and it has metal wheels. When were the metal wheels replaced with plastic? Any help from those more knowledgeable would be appreciated.
Finally found something that wasn't black. It ain't red but it will have to do for now. Not in too bad a shape, a couple of dings and needs an ash catcher and new OT system. Handles are solid, just need some cleaning and moisture.
Well, I'm not a very good photographer but these were some tasty and tender flat irons. Soaked over night in Stubb's, put them on indirect for about 12 min, seared about 2 min a side. Juicy, cut with a fork, life is GOOD
Found a J Code 18.5 on CL today for 25.00, a little pricey but they are getting harder to find around here. I was surprised by the condition, it was in really solid shape and the handles were in perfect shape. That is unusual for a grill that has spent 25 years on the Gulf Coast. Anyways, trying...
Haven't used a charcoal basket before, decided to give it a try in my stick burner. Loaded up a basket with Kingsford Blue and chunks of hickory, placed a few lit coals on top. I thought the idea was to have the lit coals slowly ignite the others for a long slow burn. I barely had the vent...
Finally found another SS in good shape. The cart was as solid as they come, zero rust. The gentleman that had it bought it new and kept in on the lower level under his deck so it didn't get any rain, just several years of crud from being outside. The lid and bowl didn't have any dents, just a...
Just took a road trip to Kansas City to pick up this old girl, she's in really good shape for her age, no dents or dings and no rust that won't just wipe of with steel wool, more likely smoke stains. I know she is a pre '79 but could anyone help me narrow down the date range. She has aged to a...
What did the stainless performers go for new? See a lot of CL ads saying they paid 400 plus new, were they really that much? I know they stopped making the ss in 2005 but when did they stop making the one without gas assist?
Thanks in advance
Maybe someone here can give me a solid answer, I have started trying to collect older kettles and so far only have an EZ green ss performer, an EZ WSM and an ER daisy wheel kettle. I sent a question to Weber CS asking what year the change to the one touch system took place and the reply from...
