S6 is here.

I'll be interested to hear your take on it. I didn't expect to love mine as much as I do. Lol

I fired off a couple baskets of charcoal so I can cook on it tomorrow. It’s been fun playing with the temps, very responsive.

I've been using up my stockpile of B&B briquets, but I bought a bag of B&B lump that I'm going to use next few cooks to see how differently it reacts.

Nice, now get her dirty.

Followed Tim’s recipe on some thighs and breasts.
Tried to copy rice from our favorite restaurant.
Wife and kids loved it!!

 

[AndyK]

Congratulations Bruno.
That thing looks freaking cool.

 

[Kevin L (NKY)]

Excellent cook and plate shot, Looks like another perfect Weber marriage,.I am so jealous.

 

[Paul Warner]

Best charcoal grill ever!!

Welcome to the club........it's a small club of course......but you made it in.

 

[Mark Foreman]

Weber intends for it to be a charcoal scoop. Pretty useless IMO.

It can also be a dog dish or a modern hat

I once read someone did not remove it from the ash catcher and the hot coals falling into the catcher caused it to melt and make a mess.

I will not admit to how I know, but yes it does melt….

 

[John Burns]

Yeah what the heck does it do! I figured maybe you put charcoal around it and pull it and add it lit charcoal in the void?

Yea, that's our charcoal scoop. At one point it was a requirement to sell the model in Europe, but we included it globally. We no longer need to include it, but there are still probably some units out there that still have them in there. Units we're making today should no longer have them in the box. I use mine for keeping my wired probes in.

 

[Brian B Atlanta]

Wow!

What is this?

Did I short my self by buying a performer delux?

I agree with Bruno the WSK is alot more money so if you have it thats fine but the performer for the money is hard to beat. Add an SNS Deluxe to it and you also have a decent smoker more than decent.

Totally agree as of this coming Friday most of Costa Rica will be subject to a 1-3 hour ration of electricity due to a severe lack of rain over the last few months. We are now in the rainy season which hopefully will resolve this serious problem but this will not be resolved overnight. This is a double whammy as we are also on water rationing 3 times a week for a few hours during the day. Also, people here are going crazy in clearing-out portable gas stoves, propane gas, flashlight,batteries, etc. at our local retail outlets. However, there is plenty of charcoal which makes my WPD and WMT a big plus! Oh, water and electricity rationing= For a few hours NADA AGUA y LUZ for homes,apartments,commercial Sodas and restaurants, medical clinics but not hospitals,banks I have only given a partial list of whom will be negatively affected.

I just put a load of charcoal on for it's initial burn. 15 min later I remembered this and checked my ash catcher. I got it out but it did melt a bit

i've never used mine. it just made no sense to me. i don't think you'll miss having it.

Thanks Brett. They assembled it for me but I see that the ash catcher and air sweep is backwards so I will need to fix it. I'm also amazed at how long one basket of coal lasts. I'm going to need to play around and figure out the settings a little bit; there is definitely an art to cooking with this.

The learning curve is pretty easy. Also it’s well documented on this forum.

Ask away if you want/need shortcuts.

I personally prefer JD lump over briqs for direct cooks. And any briqs for LAS is just fine.

 

[ChuckO]

Hey Bruno, now you know that it didn’t happen unless there’s action photos. You get it fired up again, I’ll be over shortly

 

[Brett-EDH]

So I have to say I did the same chicken over KPro this weekend and I don’t like it as much as the chicken over the JD lump. Still good but going to try the JD again, only problem is my local spot stopped carrying it and my go to over here for lump Lazzari’s moved across the bay. A tough weekday trip.

Amazon delivers. $35 a sack of 35# IIRC.

Mixed bag (pun intended) for delivery, though. I bought one and it arrived in pristine condition so I ordered another and it arrived beat to he!!. Very much YMMV.
