Hi Folks,
I'm Andy, I'm 52, and I've never owned a Weber Kettle...until, technically, today, although it's not in my grubby little hands just yet.
I've used el-cheapo charcoal grills in my youth. When I had kids, I moved to a gas grill, and while I still have one on the deck, now that my youngest is a HS junior, I bought a WSM on a lark and rediscovered charcoal last fall, and then a month later, a Jumbo Joe to leverage the size similarities for reverse searing (and grate cleanup!). Today I ordered one of the premium original 22" redheads.
It should be here in a few days. Is there anything special I should know before I start monkeying around? From what I've googled, it looks like there won't be a cover in this like there was in the WSM....but I'm not positive? Also when I get one (either included or otherwise) will I need to seam-seal it like I needed to do on the WSM cover?
If I try to install a WSM silicone grommet for thermometer wires, am I likely to ultimately regret it?
Thanks ahead!!!
