    My Electric ECB is getting weak

    In the barn? My God man. Get that puppy out and do some set and forget and stop buying charcoal. Use wood if you must, which I still do in my stick burner. Here I am giving advice to the guru. I'll take 20 lashes with a wet noodle if you please. By the way, I love all my Weber products and...

    Affect of water on temp

    I'm with SQWIB. If it is a water smoker use liquid or even the sand if you choose. It is designed that way. I used liquid on an old ECB for many years with great results. It even had H2O painted on the chamber. If it is not a water smoker then decide to mod or not to mod. I use water on my...

    New 40" Birthday present...!!!

    You're going to love it. I still love my New Braunfels but on these 100* plus summer days and coldest winter days the MES is king. Other than adding wood at the beginning it is set and forget with easy cleanup. Happy birthday!

    I just saw Giada from the Foodnetwork...

    Some good, sensible replies to this thread. One thing to consider is that marinading in lime and orange juice essentially cooked the meats, as in ceviche. The important thing was to bring them to a safe temperature to verify the demise of any bad stuff. I personally would never marinade two...

    Virus Attack

    This is pretty disturbing. I'm not a premiere member because I'm currently unemployed, so that doesn't really give me the right to complain. Still, I can't help but say I dislike this platform. I've worked with all manner of software and hardware since the first Apples hit the market in the...

    MASTERBUILT NEW 40'' DIGITAL

    I use a Scotchbrite pad on the window and a hot water wipe on the door gasket. Other than that the cabinet in not messed with unless the drip pan overflows or isn't aligned properly and don't drain like it should. Line your water pan and drip pan with foil before smoking to make cleanup easy...

    New Platform - What do you think?

    I use google chrome as my browser and I find it sort of glitchy with the new platform. Also, going backwards (back button) don't always take you where you have been. I'm using the site a lot less since the switch. Hey, you asked.

    New Platform - What do you think?

    Still kicking tires here. I have visited another forum that uses something similar to the old platform for over ten years so the change is pretty odd feeling.

    Before and after pics of my offset

    Very nice. One thing though, when you use it that pretty front shelf is going to get crudded up. Mine did and it broke my heart after all the sanding and staining and sealing. Wife says it gives it character.

    How many us hunt ??

    I currently am using a Reflex bow at about 55# for deer and pigs. It's all about placement not power. I have a number of shotguns in 12, 20, and.410. I use the .410s and the 20 for doves, and the 12 for squirrels. There's the sweet little Gamo air rifle for backyard cleanup. I also have a 12...

    potato question

    Lots of olive oil and a liberal amount of Weber Chicago Steak seasoning from Sam's works for me. I suppose any other steak seasoning would be good.

    Ground hogs

    I trapped and released about a dozen possums, 4 squirrels, and a rat last year. I shot about as many, and this is in a somewhat dense suburban setting. They have it in their DNA that my tomato patch is easy food. I'm taking a year or two off to try to break their instincts. Keep shooting!

    Questions with My Smoking Experience

    David, honestly every smoker is different and you'll just have to play with it to be sure of how yours works. I use the same basket of yours in my New Braunfles and it took me a few times to get used to quantities of fuel and degree of burn. I suggest a batch of ribs, then a butt, a brisket...

    Leftover pulled pork breakfast skillet

    Do that over an open fire outdoors and you have what the wife and I call cowboy breakfast. We do it most weekends when the weather cooperates. Put on a pot of coffee next to it and it is heaven.

    VERY soft/tender meat?

    Brine it. It loosens the fibers of the meat. Also, I like to start whole birds breast down and then rotate to their backs after 45 minutes to an hour. It seals the juices in. Beyond that the info the other folks gave you was solid. Try your own decisions on those methods and let us know how it...

    Buying new grill and want opinions on weber grills?

    I have a Weber Spirit and a Smokey Joe. I've gone through a lot of grills over the years and these are my first Webers. Never been so happy before. The Spirit is good for a fast gas job and large enough for a small crowd and the Smokey Joe is just perfect for me and the wife for Saturday Date...

    breakfast and kraut fatties w/qview

    That kraut fatty is right in my wheelhouse. I'm thinking polish sausage and spicy brown mustard. Thanks for the great idea!
