    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    I'm even considering the 4 burner now. It's $899....sigh...but I've spent way more than that over the years on grills...

    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    Thanks guys! Now just gotta decide between a Spirit II 3 burner and Genesis II 3 burner. The surface area on the Spirit would be good 75% of the time, but I do occasionally have large cookouts and I do tend to cook with cast iron skillets on one side for crab cakes, diced potatoes, ect ect...

    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    This is one of my main concerns. My Charbroil has no identifying information on it that I can see, and there are so many models out there that it's been difficult even finding what model I have. I call it the Target special! Aftermarket parts have been acceptable, but don't fit well and don't...

    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    Thanks for that! My issue with replacing parts on the cheaper grills has always been that the replacement parts are generally aftermarket or "one size fits all" and tend to wear out faster than the original parts. Secondly, rust has been a huge issue, but I don't tend to cover my gas grills...

    Weber Gas Grills Worth the Money???

    If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move... Does anyone have an opinion on the durability and longevity of Weber gas grills? I've been of the mindset that I would just buy the cheapest $200 grill every couple years because they all eventually wear out. Well, 12 years later, I imagine...

    Looks good, smells like bacon. I used about a 3 to 1 Apple to Hickory.

    Smoking Bacon for Christmas....Nervous and Safety

    Thanks! I guess my main concern was bacteria growth after sitting in the fridge for 6 days. I was just a little paranoid. Will rinse and dry tomorrow morning and let it sit in the fridge for about 4 hours before smoking.

    Smoking Bacon for Christmas....Nervous and Safety

    Thanks Belly is 1-1.5” thick because I removed the skin. I read this was a good practice. The kit was called “The Original Bacon Kit” and had a bottle of Cure and a bottle of Maple Sugar. Instructions said to dump all ingredients in and cure 7 days. I lost a day because it was difficult to...

    Smoking Bacon for Christmas....Nervous and Safety

    Last Christmas my parents gave me a bacon curing kit. Due to a busy year, I never used it and deciding to make bacon for our Christmas morning breakfast for the entire family. Bought 5lb of belly, applied the cure and sugar, and am now letting it sit for 7 days....well 6...I got started a day...

    Thinking about downsizing....need some advice.

    Couldn't wait and bought a 22" in the copper color today. I'm going to replace my burners and grates in the gas grill and keep it going another couple years until I can afford a Weber Spirit.

    Thinking about downsizing....need some advice.

    I thought about it, but I think I'd prefer the Kettle for the ability to also grill with charcoal occasionally.  I just don't tend to use dedicated smokers very often.  Unless you can grill on it?  I dunno!

    Thinking about downsizing....need some advice.

    Well, I've been tasked with trimming down on my cooking equipment.  My wife wants more room on the deck to actually entertain our guests...imagine that.  Does anyone actually sit on a deck anymore?   Anyways, I currently have a 4 burner gas grill, large offset smoker, and a 36" gas griddle.  I...

    Maintaining Temps - Way too high!!!!

    I have the same smoker as you do, and I have the exact same problem.  What everyone says so far should work, and I have had to really dial back on how much charcoal I use.  But, it never fails that it either loses or gains heat very quickly.  I have to babysit mine all day. I really have a...

    What's up with my off-set smoker?

    I've had an off-set stick/charcoal Char Broil smoker for over a year now.  I've about had it with the thing.  My temps will hold at 225 for about 10 minutes and then it's up to over 300 in no time.  I have to put water on the fire to cool back down to 225, but then I'm either losing heat or...

    Smoked Korean Style Butt in Dutch Oven....Need suggestions...

    Good to hear about cutting the butt up.  The only reason I'm thinking about moving to a dutch oven is because I find that things cook faster in a dutch oven.  Maybe it's my imagination.  But, I also like the taste of meat cooked in a dutch oven.  The combination of liquids and vegetables like...

    Smoked Korean Style Butt in Dutch Oven....Need suggestions...

    I'm a Panther fan and would like to smoke a butt on Sunday for the game to take to some friends' house.  What I don't want is to spend the typical 10-12 hours it takes me to get this done.  I'm thinking about trying a new Korean style recipe with a spicy slaw for sandwiches, and I'm seriously...

    Nice Day of Smoking...Reheating Question...

    I smoked 3 butts today, finished up around 12 hrs total. I had to smoke today, pull, and will serve at a get together at some friends house on Friday. I know it takes a while to reheat at 225, so could I safely reheat at my house, make the 40 minute drive, then finish it up in their oven when...
