Hey all you weber fans.
New guy to the forums here. Not new to weber or charcoal by any means. My OG go to "was" my 22 OTS DH date code, yup, a decade in already with Weber!
Over the past 2 years I've been trying to creatively get rid of my aging offset smoker and get down to one device for all my needs. I'm sorta there now. Offset now gone for 3 weeks. Was reading all about ceramics and other options. But decided that my 22" OTS already served me so well for 10 years, why not stick with another Weber? So, the loving wife got me an OTG 26.75 for V-day. What a wife! So no, not down to a single device, but well worth it I believe! Except she already asked what I'm going to do with the 22" To which I replied, keep it of course!
So, I put it all together and seasoned it properly with some vegetable oil then proceeded to light a chimney of mixed KBB and some RO lump. Finally, once all that was going, I threw a few chunks of hickory in there for good measure. Let her go all the way up with all vents open for about an hour before bringing her back down to burn everything off.
Next night, I followed up with my first cook, some BB's. I'm shocked at how well this 26'er held temp so steady. Left those baby's on there for ~4 hours before taking them off. Worked out so well, that I fired it up the following night for some simple brats.
Glad to be here, and can't wait to try some of the mods and recipe's on here!
I do like em sweet and the caramelized sugar went well withs some heat from the rub I made.
