    Should I change my sig?

    In my sig, I mention that I have "a bunch of Webers", but the herd's (the Weber part anyway) been thinned down to 4. Is 4 still a "bunch"? Maybe a few? More than a couple?

    Battery acid and Virtual Weber Bullet t-shirts

    ...don't mix. I'll be replacing one of my long sleeve t-shirts along with a practically new pair of jeans.

    Hunsaker Vortex Basket or Plate?

    I have been using a Hunsaker Vortex Plate in my 18.5" WSM and love it. My bil was so impressed by it he bought a plate for his 22.5" WSM and a complete Vortex Basket/Plate setup for his ECB. The basket wouldn't fit, so I gave him the charcoal ring and Vortex Plate from my WSM (which fit...

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Someone posted on another site that he says Happy Holidays because saying Merry Christmas insults those with other beliefs. I don't want to start a "Happy Holidays vs Merry Christmas" discussion, but when I say Merry Christmas, I'm not insulting anyone, I'm just telling them to enjoy the season...

    Can't bring myself to use my Silver C

    I bought my Silver C new in 2002. I can't tell you how many times I've cooked on it over the years. I ran out of gas about 5 years ago and never bothered to fill it; it's just too easy to cook on my Performer and I prefer the results. My wife likes to cook on the grill but only on the gasser...

    New love for my 18.5" WSM

    6 years ago, I bought a Smoke EZ attachment for my Performer, giving me a 22.5" smoker. Soon after that, my 18.5" WSM door became unusable (long story). I never replaced it and cooked everything on the Performer/Smoke EZ, leaving my WSM in the corner of my deck at the mercy of the weather -...

    Chasing temps in the WSM

    Cooking a brisket today so I set the WSM up for 275 the way I have countless times. An hour and a half later, I checked it and it was 241. Opened the left bottom vent a little, and 30 minutes later, it was still 241. Looked at my top vent and it was 3/4 closed (it was dark when I started)...

    Just bought a T-Shirt

    I figure this site runs on contributions and it's been a while since I contributed, so I bought a t-shirt. Does that count?:confused: How often does everyone else contribute?

    Old WSM: notch or grommet for temp probes?

    I was thinking about notching the top of the upper chamber or drilling a hole and putting in a grommet. Which do you prefer?

    Temp Question

    Just thought I'd ask. My 2002 Genesis Silver C has always run hot. On high, it gets dangerously hot and catches on fire if there is ANY grease. With all burners on low, it sits around 450. I've been cooking on it for 16 years and it hasn't bothered me. I cook steaks and burgers with the...

    Alternative parts for WSM makeover?

    I would like to replace the grates and door on my 18.5 WSM. I have priced them and it will set me back over $115. Are there cheaper aftermarket parts? I looked years ago and didn't find any, but maybe some recently became available?

    Friday Night Rib Eye Roast

    Haven't posted a cook for a while, so I thought I would post last night's rib eye roast. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Indirect on the Performer. I added a couple of apple wood chunks. Just off the grill. Resting for 20 minutes. My plate. I took it off at 130 instead of 125 because...

    Love my Jumbo Joe

    My son was in town so I decided to cook burgers and brats at the pool on the JJ. No great cooking skills or wise smoking tips here, just a great night and the reason I have a JJ. Firing up the JJ. Don't see my son very often so I take every opportunity to get a photo. Wife bobbing and...

    Giving my equipment a facelift

    My WSM is 11 years-old and my Performer is 10. They are all original - grill grates, charcoal grates, WSM door, etc. I'm thinking of giving them a facelift; new grates, new door, a GOOD cleaning, etc. My son is a welder and has offered to replace the rusted parts on the Performer frame. It...

    Thanksgiving brisket rubbed and in the fridge

    16 pounder. I always cook brisket (someone else cooks the turkey) and my wife always freaks out that it won't be ready when a house full of people are ready to eat. It always is, but I'm cooking it a day early this year to make her happy. Happy early Thanksgiving everybody!

    Brisket being cut differently.

    This year's Thanksgiving brisket turned out great, but there was something strange about it; there was much more point meat and less flat meat. It was a 14.5lb CAB, and I ended up with a huge bowl of burnt ends and a smaller plate of sliced flat meat compared to what I'm used to from a brisket...

    Just bought a Jumbo Joe

    I've bought and sold so many Weber grills and smokers that I've lost count. I was addicted, once having 11. Except for my Genesis, I always bought used, and probably made as much as I spent, but I had to get a grip so I settled on 3 (Genesis, Performer, WSM) and got on the wagon. Yesterday, I...

    Just like riding a bicycle

    For years, I've been using around 400lbs of charcoal a year. Then last fall, I restored the gasser and taught the wife how to use it. Ever since, I've neglected the Performer and the wife grills half the time. I get a kick out of how much she loves to cook outdoors now. Heck, I haven't...
