Hi, just got a new 22.5 WSM so keen to have a go. Totally new to barbecuing American style, originally from UK so hopefully can learn from all of you. Went to a party and saw one of these things working away so have been thinking about getting one for a while. Was originally thinking a kamado style grill would be better and may eventually get one as well but hoping to put this one to some good use.

Thanks

David

Welcome to the site David and congratulations on your first Weber! If you hang around here long you'll end up with a few more guaranteed. Great place to learn all kinds of great stuff from a great bunch of people. Look forward to seeing some of your cooks. Take lots of pictures. So what will be your first cook on that brandy new 22.5 WSM?

Thanks very much for the welcome. Debating whether to do the prime rib for Christmas on it, sounds good, bit worried about getting good gravy from it. Will try some chicken as a dry run this weekend.
 
By all means David. Do stop by. Good times.
If you decide to go to one of the comps, let us know. Like to touch bases.
We also have classes held locally.
There is a forum were you can ask questions, ie local comps, teams, events, etc.
Link in at the top left.
 
Greetings David,

Also down the freeway from you. I will echo the sentiments of Bob, there is a lot of BBQ mojo concentrated in the IE.

When Bob is making a recommendation about checking out the CBBQA, he knows what he is talking about. Not sure if you remember the commercials where Sy Sperling said "I'm not only the President... I'm also a client". Well Bob might not be President of the CBBQA, but he is on the Board of Directors (I was manager of the Vote for Bob in 2016 campaign) :D

You will love this site, so much information from so many great people!!
 
Welcome to the forum David, and cograts on the 22.5 your going to have lots of fun with it. We've got a lot of awesome members and they all like to cook as you will see.
They are always there to help if you have questions so ask away. Looking forward to your first cook and take lots of pics. Again Welcome.

Really excellent and have done that recipe a few times since, its from the cooking topics section here beginners spatchcocked chicken.

Even my partner who is mostly vegetarian was highly impressed and she's requested it a few times since. So definitely a win.
