If you can get Cook's summer grilling summer 2009 magazine there is a recepie for boneless,skinless breasts that we tried on the performer and was amazed at how good they turned out. I added some leggs to the marinade and belive it or not they were great. Who would have thought that just 1 1/2...

Thanks, I thought they would be a real gas to break out when company came over for Q. I guess I will pass then. Just enjoy my Webber cookers so much and all the help from this site.

I enjoyed the look of the Weber steak knives as seen on posts here. Anybody have an idea where I can get some?

Thanks alot! I have alot to learn and sure do apreciate the help. I followed the directions on a brisket I cooked two weeks ago on this site. Anyone would be proud to say they cooked that brisket as family raved about how tender and juicy it was. I sure am glad I found this site and got my WSM...

I tried ribs my first cook on 18.5, and cooked on lump for 3.5 hours. The meat had pulled back nicely and done through out. The only trouble was they were tough not tender at all. Is there a temp I should have to pull them or did I not leave on long enough? Any advise would be great as I am...

Thanks Russ ! I too had a problem using lump to cook a brisket with my water pan hitting the top of my lump even after digging out the middle so pan would sit on brackets. I ordered the charcoal pan you suggested and it works perfectly. You would think webber would have noticed this and...

Thanks Ron. I keep reading alot of posts about grilling chops, but I was looking for info on smokeing some on my webber smoker. Guess I will just try the recipe rita has and try to see how they come out. One post said it will taste like ham, I did not want that if possible. Sorry for the long post.

Has anyone smoked the thick porkchops on a wsm or is it not advisable? I thought about getting some iowa chops and smokeing them. They are about 2" thick.

Thanks Glenn, I was trying to follow the recipe in the low and slow book and I should have done more research about vents. I took off the two racks and let the cooker run after refilling the water pan with cold water and the temp ran on up to 350 and stayed there for 2 hrs then dropped down to...

I did my first cook yesterday with babby backs. I put in 1 1/2 gallons of water in the pan and full lump minon style, on new 2010 18.5. The temperature at guage went up to 300 and stayed there. Thirty minutes in I closed the two front vents by 1/3 and temp stayed at 255 for 2.5 hrs. Checked...

Thanks John, I apreciate the info. I am just trying to learn to cook on this baby, and I was drooling over some of the pics of cooks here and wanted to try to get some for my grill. Webber suport said the 22.5 grates would not fit my grill, but I was seeing them here. Weber has sure done right...

I talked to webber suport and they said the cooking grate on the performer measures 21 1/2 inches. Does anyone know if the grates for a 22 1/2 cast iron will fit? I see it on the grills some have. Is there a special company to order them from?

I was going to do my chicken with the Mojo recipe in Low and Slow book, It rained, so marinated chicken and baked in oven. No flavor whatsoever. Did the oil keep the flavor out, or did I do something else wrong besides the oven? I followed the recepie exactly.

I got the low and slow book and he recommends lump versus KB. I found cowboy and green egg lump at the store. Has anyone used the egg lump? Should I keep looking?

Well thanks to all the info I have received on this site I decided to take the splurge and order a new 2010 performer. Then as would luck have it, I even get free shipping. Thanks to all for the info. I wil try to post some pics when I learn how to use the new toy.

Thanks guys, I found the stainless new for 100 more than the plastic and did not know if it was justified for the price difference. Are the parts to convert from 5 to a larger tank readily available?

Help! I am wanting a performer to go with my 18.5 WSM. I found a prior 05 with a stainless table, or go with the new 2010 model? Any suggestions would be deeply apreciated.Thanks!

I want a performer but there is one that is green or black or blue. Is there a difference other than color? Can you order a different cooking grill for the performer?

Thanks for all the help guys! I am just learning how to use the new cooker, and thought that since steaks turned out great on a regular grill with a side firebox I could do the same with my smoker. I now know what to do. Thanks again.

I had the chance several years ago to cook some 1" round steaks to feed an oilfield drilling rig crew. I used a pit on a trailer from a friend that had a side firebox. I used Just mesquite wood to cook with and coated them with italian dressing and peppers. They had to cook for about three hours...
