    Kettle vent handle melted.

    Anyone ever seen this before with their kettle? I was making pizzas and it does get really hot. Around 800* but I’ve used my pizza kit probably 50 times and have never had an issue. But the handle for the lid vent melted right off. This is a replacement lid from Weber and used probably less than...

    No smoke but Chicken Alfredo

    My wife wanted Alfredo with crispy chicken like in chicken Parmesan. That’s all she said. She makes a really good Alfredo sauce so I left that part up to her. So I flattened some chicken breasts and dusted them with salt and pepper and then flour. From there dipped them in a bath of egg/milk and...

    Finally got my. Ew Lodge CI skillets seasoned and had a couple of NY strips in the freezer that I thawed out to give it a shot. Once they were thawed I dry brined them in the fridge for about 12 hours with just salt uncovered. Then seasoned them up with salt pepper and a little Montreal...

    So before I found out I was getting transferred again I picked up a new 22” kettle. Assembled it and the lid hinge on the inside was a little off and would only hand on one side of the grill. Weber being the company they are sent me a new replacement for free. I only used this one a couple...

    4.5 lb NY strip roast

    So I got a 4.5lb NY Strip roast on sale. We have been wanting good steak since it’s hard to come by near us. My question with this is should I slice it up into thick steaks and cook it that way or cook it as a whole? I don’t know if the whole thing would be too big for 2 adults and 3 little ones.

    Kettle thermometer replacement

    I recently got a replacement lid for my older 22” kettle. Before I get just the regular kettle thermometer I wanted to check if anyone had ever replaced theirs with a different/better thermometer. I also need the lid handle too so will be looking into other options for that.
