Congrats man! I love my 26er! So much real estate like you said and so versatile because of its size. Enjoy it!

Thanks Work, I have to work this weekend so I can't start the fun until Monday. Maybe I'll try and squeeze a hot dog on it.

Nice. I just bought my first kettle (22.5"). Can get a surprising amount of food on it. That 26" is a hoss! Your wife did gud!

Shes a keeper even after 33 years of marriage. Normally we don't buy gifts for each other haven't really for a few years, but now she's upped the game. Thanks Bert.

Congrats! As a heads up... You can get a whole Costco pork belly on there for pork burnt ends. :D The 26 is a game changer. I was unable to hold out on CL and ordered new... But never have regretted it.

I don't normally swear, but Holy F'in $hit. That's a mess of porky goodness right there. Thanks for the inspiration Misplaced. Now I'm getting psyched. Point for sure.

I'm not sure about the slow-n-sear, as I have a 22" WSM. I have a Vortex already and use it for making anything from steak to Kettle Fried Chicken. It's an indispensable addition to Kettle cooking.

Glad I can inspire! I'm still up in the air as well on the Slow-n-sear. I mean, the snake method and a water pan work pretty dang well for me. But the vortex is on my list of "why don't I own this?!".... I need to rectify that.

Looking forward to your inaugural run

I absolutely love my 26" Weber. I use it more than my smoker.

Totally agree, it's fast becoming my most used grill/smoker. I still like my 22" when I use the Vortex.

@Brian Trommater thanks for the like appreciate it.

Not a comprehensive list, but I've seen various grates(griddle, cast iron, etc) available, the slow-n-sear, and cajun bandit makes a rotisserie for it. It comes with charcoal baskets and I've used my medium Vortex with mine. I haven't seen a pizza attachment yet. As I see more I'll list them.

I have been using it, although I'm still learning to control the temps. I recently did three chicken cordon bleus and a 4 pound meatloaf on it. Still had real estate to spare. The wife is a keeper - coming up on 34 years of marriage in June.

The price jump from the 26" to that is insane! But I want one

Couldn't agree more tag, you could also add more waistline.

Nice, Chris, really nice!! That thing is huge.

Thanks Gary, we're enjoying it's benefits.

I've seen those and they're huge!!!. I'd have to do allot of sweet talking to the wife before attempting to sneak one of those in the garage.

Feel like a road trip Chris?!



Complete the set! I finally did this too!

 

[gmc2003]

That's about a grand off retail, but I would use close to that getting to Maryland in my truck. So it would basically be a wash.

Are you telling me you picked up the ranch? Holy frigg'in sh!t. I would really like one, however She Who Controls the Purse Strings may not see things the same way I do.
