Hi,
It's me, it's me, it's JohnnyT from beautiful McHenry, Il.
Been lurking for a long, long time. Figured it was time to post. Long time fan of Weber grills. Was a "charcoal bigot" for the longest time but then I saw the "beautiful blue" light.
Current inventory:
2004 Genesis Silver B
2010? Expresso Brown Genesis E310
One Touch Blue Charcoal 22" (remember those?)
Summit '98? 4 burner LP
Summit '98? 6 burner converted to LP ( I believe it was only offered in NG )
18" WSM Converted to electric (was "gifted", haven't tried to fire it up yet)
22" charcoal bottom (sans legs) used as a fire pit
14.5 WSM converted to LP.
Longtime BBQer.
I do make ribs in the oven occasionally (sacrilege, I know).
I usually braise my ribs in the oven with cheap BBQ sauce, beer, bay leaves, onions, salt, garlic, peppercorns, and a pinch of chicken soup base. Then I use a mixture of good BBQ sauces and "frost the mumbo" on a grill.
What I was wondering, if anyone was interested if I were to post instructions to convert a WSM 14.5" to run on LP?
A 7 lb bone in pork shoulder took 7 hours, and used 1 lb of fuel. That is the equivalent of one propane cylinder ( the kind you use for a torch to do soldering for plumbing, and I think for camp stoves (not sure about the stoves, as I don't go camping).
I weighed the 20 lb tank before and after the smoking session.
I have absolutely no idea on how to post anything (remember: noob to posting).
I have it in a word document and also a PDF. It's rather large. Any advice would be helpful.
By the way, Having a LP powered smoker lets you smoke 4 split chicken breasts and 8 stuffed boneless chicken thighs ( done separately, probably could have used both grates and would take 2 hrs) in 4 hours for a great lunch.
Sorry for long intro.
