In another forum, someone wrote they read where Weber stated: "Lump should not be used in the WSM". This is a first I have heard of this statement. So, I ask those who should know. Has Weber ever made a statement about not using Lump Charcoal in the WSM because of potential damage from high...

Does anyone here use an IR Thermometer (non-contact model) to track surface tempertures on the surface of the griddle? I'm still somewhat un-experienced with griddle cooking and was wondering if tracking surface temps is needed while griddle cooking.

I'm not sure how many lbs of Lump I added to the basket (WSM 22.5) when I started. There was already about half a basket before I added. I know it was full when I started the cook at noon. I'm curious to see how far it will go at 235* with that Guru Digi3 in place .....!!!!

I'm cooking Baby Back ribs on my WSM 22.5 at 235* using my new BBQ Guru Digi3. I started off with a "full" basket of Royal Oak Lump. Two hours later, and I just looked in the charcoal basket. It looked like nothing had burnt. (yes, I have heat maintaining 235*) That set me to thinking. After...

I have the 22.5 model, and often thought of what I could use to add more coal to an already existing cook. I have a sharpshooter....That's a great idea. It would allow one to place coal exactly where it's needed .... thanks....

WOW.... what a great idea. You just solved my issue of needing a tray (of sorts) to hold my Maverick. I had a Napoleon grill that I chunked this past summer. But I kept the two high grade faux marble shelves (they're light but thick), and put them away. I now know that one would be perfect...

I agree to the Maverick ET732.... I love mine.....

Hi Mark Wilson, that's exactly what I have. I have two, one each across from the other (just because), and use little brass caps over the holes. I also have one in the lower bowl so I can use the lower bowl as a grill. Works very well.

I have found the reverse to be true on my WSM 22.5.... If and when I lift the cover I don't lose temps, so much oxygen enters the smoker, that temps sky rocket to over 325 almost instantly. Then I have to close all four vents, and force the temp back down (careful not to choke the fire...

Thanks.......!!! :)

I'm seriously considering the purchase of another topside food grill for my WSM 22.5. I'm considering a food grill with the two wing openings near the handles. Has anyone purchased that particular grill for the WSM 22.5...??? Can some one furnish the Weber number of such a grill that will fit...

My procedure is somewhat close to others here. I use the 3-2&1/2 hour method instead of the 3-2-1- method. I smoke them for three hours at about 250/275, then foil (apple juice and sauce before closing the foil) and re-place on the pit for two & one-half hours foiled tight. I chose not to put...

I used the 22.5 WSM for a Boston Butt on Saturday. I was very pleased when I checked the ash content in the bottom of the bowl the day after the cook. It was all ash, and no small lump pieces fell through the stainless steel expanded metal. I was very pleased..... All the lump remnants of cook...

I have read where some WSM owners used two grates (crossed) to stop small lump from falling through the grate. My first cook made me realize what they were talking about. I looked around for a second grate, then I thought, perhaps Expanded metal would be my ideal mod. Then I though, Stainless...

My installation came out so pretty, I would never consider using just the empty hole and risk cutting the probes.... and so cheap to get it done....

I went to Home Depot, in the Lamp repair parts section. Picked up three packages: 1) packet of 8 (multiple lengths)- 1/8IP all-thread Brass pipe (about 5/8" long)(IP not ID or OD), 2) Packet of 12 - 1/8 IP nuts to fit the all-thread pipe, 3) Packet of 4 -1/8 IP brass caps to fit the...

We love whole Chicken as well, and in my opinion, nothing does chicken easier & better than my Charbroil Big Easy Oil-less fryer. " "In less than one hour, (with no effort) we have perfect chicken". I had heard that statement several times before I purchased the unit, but it's so true. The...

I was playing with my WSM 22.5 unit moments ago, and began wondering. Has anyone removed the mid unit, and used the lower charcoal bowl and cover as a grill. I tried the cover over the lower charcoal bowl and it sits as a match, but one does not fit over, or in the other. With the weight of...

well folks.... the first cook on the WSM 22.5 is in the record books for us. 1) I chose a rack of St Louis Style Pork Ribs, 2) Ozark Oaks Lump (available at Super 1 Supermarkets here), 3) Jack Daniels smoke pellets (instead of smoke chunks), 4) the minion method of charcoal starting (worked...

WOW, I'm surprised to hear Weber has been putting out 2013 models since mid November, but I'm pleased to hear you received a 2013 as well... OH, the smoker is on as of 2PM (central). Seasoning, smoking up a storm. I put extra smoking stuff I have had for some twenty years. I'm using a 3/4 full...
