Looking at picking up an old SS Performer but the tank is missing. The hose is there and if it's still usable, I'm just wondering what kind of expense and effort I'm going to have to put out to get the gas lighter working? Thanks for any and all advice in advance! -Mike

So I have a pork loin brining that I want to do tomorrow on the rotisserie. My question is how to arrange the fire on my Weber kettle. Do I split it? Or just bank it on one side? Also do I cover and cook? Or leave the lid off? Thanks for any advice. I don't often run the rotisserie and...

So last night I ended up needing charcoal in the middle of NYC and after failed trips to Food Emporium and Trader Joe's ("We'll have it come summer?!"), I was reduced to paying 6 bucks for 4 lbs of Kingsford from a little bodega. So this morning, I went over to Fairway and was surprised to find...

Riffed on this recipe: http://www.esquire.com/feature...ulder-recipe-ll-0407 but instead of the ground shoulder I used a lb of fennel sausage and a lb of blood sausage. The shoulder was probably closer to 6 lbs and the butcher did an indifferent job of butterflying it. It certainly wasn't an...

So these guys showed up this week: After I swore I didn't need propane, I LOVE the starter on the "EE" red. The guy told me he went and filled the tank the day I picked it up to save me the trouble. The only damage is this: About an inch and a half. Otherwise in gorgeous shape...

Fired up the Weber (newly equipped with a wood side table) and made some delicious turkey pastrami. I started with a 10lb foil-wrapped Butterball deli breast so I decided to give it a lengthy brine. After 4 days of soaking, I had two sizable pieces of breast. Dried everything off and coated...

So here's the latest find. An old Weber work table that I picked up on ebay. The only glitch was when it was attached to the kettle rim (a la the clips on the plastic table), the lid didn't fit securely. Then I figured out that it hooks over the handle! Works great. For it's inaugural run I...

Was so pleased with this find that I had to crow about it. I was looking to buy a OTG as a 50th birthday gift for a friend in London. Put through an order for a green one and then received an email from the English store that they only had one copper available and that it was priced 30 pounds...

Just got this kettle off Craigslist. Question is: What's the color? It's not the old two-toned brown. Or the current copper. Looks kind of bronzy. Anybody know? I'll check the date code when I get it home and let you know how old it is. My guess is mid 90's. -Mike

A few weeks ago, I paid more than I should for a BBQ Kettle. I bought it because I wanted to see if the older triple vents in the base made smoking any easier. It was in pretty good shape but I decided to touch up some of the chips in the finish per the recommendations I found on this board...

I have a red BBQKettle that looks to be almost unused but has some porcelain damage that the previous owner has painted over with red paint. My guess is that it's just some kind of low temp enamel but I'm not sure. I want to remove as much as I can from where he went over the porcelain finish...

I caught the bug from hanging around on this board too much and decided I "needed" a red kettle. A few weeks ago a 22.5" came up on Craigslist and I bought it sight unseen for 15 bucks. Turned out to be an "F" from '84. Well-used but well-maintained. No rust and fairly minor porcelain loss...

So a few weeks ago I sold my charcoal Platinum w/ rotisserie and cover to a co-worker to make room for my new WSM and used Hasty-Bake. I lasted two weeks. Today I found a 22 in. Blue One-Touch new in the box on Craigslist for 30 bucks. It's being picked up tomorrow. I'm still in the grip of...

Okay. Did my first overnight on a couple of bone-in butts. Got up this morning to find the temp at 215 after 10 hours (temp between 225 and 265 when checked at night) and fired up a chimney full of charcoal anticipating I'd need to bring the temp up and keep cooking. Surprise, surprise...
