    Weber kettle expansion rings

    Does it have a way to put grill grates in it? I can’t tell from the pictures on the site. I’d ideally like to put two grill grates in it so that I’ve got three grates for food

    Weber kettle expansion rings

    I thought about it, but my concern is that whatever I put on the top rack will cook way faster than what’s on the grill grate as it will be very close to the lid. I mainly want this for ribs

    Weber kettle expansion rings

    This is what I’m leaning towards if I can’t find anything else, but it’s not really what I’m looking for. The door on it is a minus for me, just more opportunity for air leaks. And I’m looking for something you can put grill grates in

    Weber kettle expansion rings

    Hey everyone, looking at ways to increase how much I can cook at a time on my Weber Kettle. Before a bunch of you say "just got get a WSM/UDS etc etc!" i'm already thinking about it, but I don't really want to have two grills/smokers (I am stationed in europe so space is at a premium, and I...

    Meat shopping in Europe

    Hello all, Just moved to Belgium with the military and am having a hard time finding quality beef. I’m shopping almost exclusively at Carrefour, but their cuts of beef are all very very lean and so far everything I’ve cooked has been a bit chewy. Anyone here have advice on where to shop for...

    Snake method hardwood strategy

    Hi all, Former electric smoker chump here, just moved to charcoal (22” Weber Kettle). I’m doing ribs for the first time on charcoal, and used the snake method. As I’ve seen in every video and article about the snake method, I put some hardwood chunks on my snake to get some good smoke as the...

    Smoke ring in an MES w mailbox, no curing salt!

    Alright everyone, I’ve done it. After months and months of tinkering, I’ve finally achieved a nice smoke ring on ribs in my MES with mailbox mod!!! And no, I didn’t use curing salts. I considering that cheating, don’t know why. First off, I used the wet-dry method, but honestly I didn’t know...

    Beef spare ribs on MES30

    I thought about using cure #1 but it feels like cheating! I know the smoke ring is a dumb thing to obsess over since it doesn’t change the taste of the meat, but I’m obsessed either way! The science is that when Nitric Oxide (NO) interacts with myoglobin (the juice inside the meat), it locks in...

    Beef spare ribs on MES30

    Ah, no i didn’t rotate them. I try not to open my MES during a cook if I can avoid it. I was under the impression that the colder the meat is when you put it in, the better chances of getting a smoke ring based on…like…science stuff…? Essentially the principle that the meat will lose its...

    Beef spare ribs on MES30

    Hey beefers, Just did my first beef smoke today. I’ve been smoking meat for about a year and have only done pork and chicken, so this was a new adventure for me. Picked up 8lbs of beef ribs from a local butcher and dry brined them for about 16 hours in the fridge. This morning I rubbed them...

    More NO in mailbox modded MES30 w/AMNPS

    This might be part of my problem; i'm using a big bag of "hickory" pellets from Lowe's an have no clue how much of that is filler. Any brands of pellets you'd recommend?

    Getting better bark in mailbox modded MES30

    Any tips for getting better bark in an MES30 with mailbox mod and AMNPS? I've done 4 rib cooks and 1 pork butt, and i'm having trouble getting consistent bark without skipping a wrap stage. For instance, the ribs I made yesterday were on the smoke for 6 hours straight, no wrap. The bark was...
