    How to prevent top grate in 18" WSM from falling down?

    I'm not sure if this problem is unique to me or not, but the top grate on my 18" WSM doesn't seem to  be quite big enough. It seems like it is 1/8"-1/4" too small to fit on the brackets properly. This is a bit of a problem as if I shift the grate too much during a cook, it can slip off and the...

    Cheap replacement probes for ET-733

    Just wondering if anyone has a line on a cheap source for replacement probes for the Maverick ET-733. I already killed one of mine, and I do have a spare on hand, but when the next one or two inevitably die I would like to not have to pay $25 for a new one.

    Made a few things, but posting here as the fatties were what I originally planned to cook I wanted to do one last BBQ of the year, but realized that I still had a big long list of things to make.

    Clearance around WSM?

    I've quickly realized after purchasing my WSM that I will need to put some kind of fence around it to protect my 2 year old from getting hurt. Just wondering what the minimum distance should be around the smoker, I don't want to build it too small and create a safety issue. Would 6" be okay?

    Noob from Canada

    Hi all, another new guy here from western Canada. I thought it was about time I joined, I started smoking a few months back on my Weber Genesis, and after several good results decided to upgrade to a Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5". Just finishing up my first dry run, I was pretty amazed to see that...

    Charcoal not turning to ash?

    Hi, this is my first post here, so I hope this is the correct place to put this... I just started cooking with charcoal for the very first time on a new Weber bullet, and I have noticed that my briquettes aren't completely turning to ash. They are definitely ashing over, but even if I try and...
