    why burn it. Black walnut is a much sought after wood for its characteristic figure. Probably worth some cash. Too bad

    Weber Genisis Lid up or lid down

    For the last 30+ years I've always cooked with the hood up. Recently, with the purchase of my Genny, I've been cooking/smoking with the hood down. Even with the simple hamburger, I'd sear both sides (hood up) the cook it with indirect heat (hood down) for the remainder until done. Received...

    Spirit vs Genesis??

    Morning Richard et al., I enjoy the e/w design of my genny for the exact reasons you mentioned above, however, Jim, on the Source website, mentioned a way to direct the smoke to the opposite end in the n/s configuration. He suggests just putting a cookie sheet on the grating above the...

    Intro 101 to outdoor cooking

    Morning John, Are you looking for suggestions as what to cook? Are you looking for suggestions of cookbooks, (Weber's Big Book of Grilling and Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling) or a replacement grill that your son will be permanently borrowing? Be well, elliot

    Tonights beef ribs

    Gary, you present a very good argument for a search to purchase beef instead of pork ribs next time. Do they cook within six hours low and slow, or do they require a little more time? Thanks and be well, elliot

    I want a raised warming rack for my old Genesis

    Morning all, Making a second level or warming rack is a pretty simple addition to most grills. I had almost 8 inches of clearance between the top and bottom levels. Using 3/8 inch carriage bolts, washers and nuts as supports any size grate can be incorporated onto your grill. The length of...

    Which Grate?

    Hey Elliot, I have SS on my ep-310 and I find no faults with them in any aspect of my cooking. New Gennys cost about $50.00 more for SS grates AND SS flavorbars. If you were to replace the grates and flavors with aftermarket SS it would cost you two to three times as much even from Weber. Just...

    Buyer Beware: "Natural" turkey may be injected!

    I was afraid of all the salt talk and all of my options were "natural" butterballs in the case. I used a flavor injector of my own and only injected fresh chicken stock that I made myself from left over bones and giblets. It was a 20+ pounder and I knew it would be on the grill for at least 5...

    Weber Handle Light?

    One is certainly adequate for a genny. Two would be brighter for sure if you want to spend $50 just for lighting. I always turn mine off via the on/off switch, when I done cooking but it's not necessary when in the process. enjoy, elliot

    bbq magazine

    Another predominately low and slo site: http://www.thesmokering.com/ Magazines are becoming fewer and fewer. The racks, here in the city, are dwindling fast. I guess comparatively to the web, they're much more of an expense. Unfortunately, they'll never be replaced when sitting on the throne...
