    Loose lid vent

    Hi, my 26 is coming up on a year in June and has been used often, well maintained and kept covered. I have noticed that the lid vent has become loose in the sense that it rotates very easily, much looser than new. Is this normal? Temp control is ok.

    Lilly Memphis Dry Ribs - Cook in Progress

    James, salt is the one thing I like to see exactly how much I am applying so salting first is an easy way to do that and any variation in the amount of rub wont leave meat under or over salted.

    water, sand or nothing?

    Allen, Im new, used my WSM 18 3 times, one rib cook, one smoke of a Bluefish and a long ovrrnight picnic shoulder. I used 2 or 3 pieces of clay brick in an unfoiled water pan, and a foiled, shallow drip pan on the lower grate. Steady temps each cook, a little adjusting but no major swings.

    OTG arrives tomorrow - what else do I need?

    Adam, a nice pair of gloves are essential, I use welders gloves which are working out nicely. A small prep table will be helpful too. Not sure if you mentioned getting a cover, but I'd add one to the list if you didnt already order it
