kettle

I've recently become enamored with Guga's Burger Haze technique. I haven't seen many mention it in other vids or in forums either. This is a no-lid cook - I noticed a thread on this recently regarding the lid off or on controversy. Here is what I believe is Guga's original burger haze...

I can’t say all work and no play, because I have got some play in. Did my first (and last) cross country, very interesting, weather was nuts. Had the bride fly out and meet up in Florida (Disney World) it’s awesome but I’m a Disneyland snob. Rolled in today, and what did I BBQ? You guessed it

Doesn’t seem all that long ago there was 500 days left, this past Thursday marks 250 days left until 12/31/24 I managed to get a couple cooks in, my favorite last night, Tri Tip and my wife’s favorite, Salmon tonight Hope all is well with ya’ll, start another 3-week run at midnight tonight

Got it last night here in Socal! 50 bucks and bought new grates! This thing is so unique to me haha! This is my second kettle now. Excited to be apart of this group!

I'd like to share my experience making poortex and my first cook on it today. P.S. worked out great. P.P.S. I am attaching scheme with all dimensions in mm (millimeters) that I used to create my own poortex. This one is made of aluminium (aluminum) sheet. I personally made a cardboard template...

Hi all, first post here and I love this forum. I recently picked up this older performer for free and hadn't quite realised the extent of the rust when I got it. It's rusted through where the lid hanger attaches to the lower part of the bowl and looks like burn through in other parts. I have...

I’m new here kinda just by chance, been grilling on charcoal as long as I’ve been grilling. When I got my first house my uncle gave me his old BBQ not sure what it is but I tore it apart refinished it and it’s served me decently well the last 6 years. Having open ports for a rotisserie the air...

I'm getting a little braver! The Bride ™️ and I have been watching a ton of videos (thanks to everyone for the encouragement and recommendations) and found a couple of YouTube channels we like. BBQ Pit Boys. These guys have been on YT forever and they have some pretty neat recipes (and some...

I’ve got a 2010 kettle bought brand new in 2010. It didn’t have a dome thermo but years later I’ve decided I’d like to throw one on. I’ve got a nice Tel-tru 2” dial with 2.13” stem coming today in the mail. Where’s the most useful place to install this? I’ve seen some guys drill out bolt in the...

I have a Performer with flip up table and a 22" kettle. I decided to sell the kettle but the kettle has a nicer lid with almost no fade. My performer has fade. I am thinking of selling the kettle with the performer lid. There are 2 things: 1 is the date codes will not be correct any more, 2...

I haven’t posted a cook in quite a while. I decided to hot tub a Tri Tip at 135*F for 5 hrs then sear it off/ get some smoke on it on the kettle via a mesquite/charcoal fire. Used Cajun Shake in the bath then hit it with Montreal Steak Seasoning for the sear/smoke. Served simply with...

New to the site, but not forums. I am excited to join here! I'm a new Weber addict, purchased an Original kettle over the summer. That ignited the fever. After seeing post after post in FB of the Performers, I became envy of them and had to have one, but no way I was paying $450 for one. I...

I noticed when I utilize the lid holder that is welded to the underside of the lid, the rim of the lid scrapes up against the aluminum legs. Anyone not use the lid holder because of this? I understand its an outdoor grill but I like to keep my kettles and cookers looking nice. I've been just...

I've been thinking about getting a 26er lately and wanted some insight. I already have a WSM 18 and a 22 inch Kettle. I wanted something to cook larger portions for the few times a year I cook for 6-8 people. I would be cooking things like turkeys, ribs, wings, and random bone-in chicken pieces...

Hi all, I’m going to cook my first Packer brisket on my 22” Weber Kettle this weekend. I got the smallest packer available at Costco - 11+ lbs. I’m looking for some advice on positioning and cook method -I’m thinking of going fat side down. Since the brisket will take up a lot of grill space...

Well folks I did it. BBQ for 60+ people in my backyard. It was a great party and the food was great. it was a challenge but it was worth it. 4 briskets 4 pork butts and over 100 chicken drumsticks! The plan was to eat at 6 pm so I got started at 2 am. Get the charcoal ready, trim and season...

We hosted a Derby Party this year, and I wanted to serve Brisket, and knew I would have a full day prepping for the party. So, I decided to cook a brisket on Friday, and reheat for party. Was iffy about cooking a day ahead, but pretty happy with how it turned out. Had done last brisket on...

I had never done thighs on the Vortex before... Looks like I'll never be doing them any other way again. Enjoy! We sure did. :cool:

Just smoked a "picnic shoulder" and loved it ( first time ever smoking). I started around kick off, and didnt end till about the 3rd qtr of the Sunday night game. Top vent was at about 1/4 open, Bottom was about the same (kettle 22.5"). The standard gauge was reading 280-300*, I may or may not...
