A few things:
1) The brisket looked great
2) Love the dedication with the umbrella over the smoker
3) The stadium picture was cool. Buckeye fan here, but I love having Nebraska in the Big 10. cool school with great history. I am hoping them (and Michigan) turn the programs around - I think...
Yes I agree Amazon is great, I have returned defective items before.
BUT I called Weber first and they also took care of me. Shipped a whole new replacement part with overnight delivery, 100% free. Also didn't have to ship the old part back.
I chose to start with Weber since I just needed...
I thought about the Cajun Bandit door as well, but I am going to wait a few times and see how much I may or may not actually need it.
Plus I was lucky enough the wife said yes to the 18.5" one. And then I sprung it on her I actually decided on the $100 more (although it was only $50 more with...
thanks for the wishes. Came home today to find a huge box with the NEW center section waiting for me. Before I connected all the hardware (this time...) I was smart enough to try the lid on.
Fits like a glove.
When I opened the box the grates were not on the top (which per unboxing videos on the virtual bullet site they should be), but instead pushed down at an angle into the center drum. My guess is they were knocked into the center section and that pushed it into an oval shape. Still I tried...
I am not 100% sure this deal is still going, BUT it might be - Amazon currently I think has an offer for $50.00 select Grills, INCLUDING the Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5.
Long story - I saw this deal about a week ago on Slickdeals.com but when you follow the link it states it is for a limited...
So I updated the title of the thread after a very pleasant interaction with Weber today.
To recap I received a 22.5 WSM on Thursday, went to put it together on Friday and the middle section was very bent. I started this thread looking for thoughts on how to fix/repair but thanks to the help of...
Just curious - What part was incorrect in your case? I think it is the middle section versus the lid for me. I can't imagine as thick as the lid is that the lid is the issue.
This has all helped. Instead of trying to fix myself (which I kind of tried but it is way to out of round) I'll call...
That is good advice. If it was the 18.5" I could, but can't find any local places that have the 22.5" unfortunately.
And I agree - if I did know of a place that had the larger model the store itself isn't losing anything. I worked for Kohl's for years, defective goods got adjusted and sent...
so it's your fault!
Ha ha just kidding.
I had started this thread thinking I should try to fix it myself, but I am not sure I can. Thanks for the replies, I think a call to Weber and/or Amazon tomorrow should resolve the issue.
yes I should of just kept to one thread but what is nice is I don't NEED this immediately. Would of most likely been next weekend before I could season and then maybe next day smoke with it.
So I have time and I am sure can work with them
thanks so much for the quick replies. this place rocks
Yes great point - I bet it was a shipping issue.
What is nice is I wasn't planning on even using it for at least a few days - most likely NEXT weekend at the earliest. So luckily I don't have some big party I was hoping to use this for in 2 days.
thanks guys for the speedy replies.
I think I...
UGH... I decided to start a new thread so I can get advise on that one, but as you can see I was super excited about my new Weber. Went to put it together tonight and it is all kinds of bent up. at least the middle section and maybe the door and top grate
The middle section (I think) is so...
So I am brand new to smoking, or had hope to be. Spent weeks researching places, especially this board, and finally decided on a Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5 based on reviews, comments etc. Decided it was worth the extra money for the quality I considered Weber to be.
Anyway - ordered the WSM...
