    New 26inch Weber kettle

    They want $300 for one? Holy **** I paid $100 for my 22.5 One Touch Gold 5 years ago, don't know it the extra 4" is worth $200. I've had no problems with room on my 22.5, turkeys, BB ribs, chickens, etc. (see avatar). The ash pan is awesome!! Makes clean up so much easier than trying to sweep...

    Does anyone have one of the Kingsford kettles?

    I've seen them, and you get what you pay for. IMO a 18½" grill is just to small, you're really limited to what you can put on it. But if you're really on a tight budget, $40 isn't a bad deal, just make sure you keep it out of the rain. Also check the newpaper for any used grills, I found my...

    Lost My Premier Membership Status ?

    I just realised that I don't seem to have my Memebership anymore, no more green user name, I guess it got lost during the crash. Is there a way this can be reinstated? Thanks, Brian

    How is yours different? Is your SnP a newer one? I think mine was built in the late 90's.

    new to the sit...got questions on temps

    Welcome!! It all depends on how hot you can get your smoker. If the element can get the smoker up to 220° and keep it there, you should be fine. You question about your roast depends on how big the roast was, if it was a 2lb roast, then it shouldn't take 7 hours, if it was a 6 lb roast...

    Thinking about getting a Silver Smoker

    Cool deal, I have a SnP with a heat baffle and sand filled "heat sink" but I hate the chimney extention because it blocks out a bunch of cooking grate area. Maybe I could get my local exhaust shop to weld me up a stack like yours.

    Thinking about getting a Silver Smoker

    Great looking mods Smoking Dick!! The only question I have is the smoke stack is so low that won't most of the heat and smoke run across the bottom instead of moving up into the smoking chamber?

    How To Fab a Charcoal Basket For Your SnP

    I had posted this same thread a few months ago but it got lost in the crash, so I'll try to repost it from memory, which can be a little sketchy . First thing I did was fab a template out of cardboard and fit it in the fire box. I roughly measured the inside diam and figured I'd add 3" for the...

    Last 4 bags of RO

    Those are the brickets, not lump, that stuff is more like Kingsford, which will produce more ash than lump. I picked up 6 bags of RO yesterday at wally world for $6.37 each, what makes me mad is the same bags of RO on the same pallet were going for $5.19 just a month or so ago. I know it was...

    To the salmonheads at the SMF

    You can pull the bones out after it's done, it's just harder to do because you want to sit down and eat!! Looking forward to some Qview If you have any leftovers, smoked salmon makes some great fish spread. 1 filet to one block of cream cheese is a good porportion, chopped celery, onions and...
