I've got a 2008-era Weber Summit S-670... I got it second hand about ten years ago and it's been great up until recently. It's now getting the dreaded cookbox rust formation at the front of the grill behind the dials, and the bottom panel is rusting out so the doors don't hold themselves shut...

After staring at the various assortment of rib roasts at my local Costco today, I decided on getting a full boneless prime rib roast. I've done a lot of bone-in in the past, but the current recipe-of-the-week at webernation.com got me thinking about trying out a boneless one. I'm cooking for a...

I'm doing two birds today - both around 12lbs. One of them I'm going to butterfly on the WSM and the other I was planning to put on the rotisserie on the kettle. I can only find one of my rotisserie forks though I can't imagine a 12lb turkey staying securely on the spit without having a fork...

I'm going to visit family in VT, and think I might want to show the how to do a brisket. (my dad has a WSM and stoker setup similar to mine, and I like to show off on it when I visit). Anyone know of a reliable place to get full packers? I'm spoiled by the sams club near me that always has a...

I saw this on one of the BBQU shows and thought it looked interesting. http://www.bbqu.net/season3/305_4.html Anyone ever tried it? I'd probably cook it lower than he does and for longer, but looks like it should be pretty good.

I've been playing with the stoker socket control a bit. Anyone know what the TEMP_OUTPUT_ENABLE command is supposed to do? I've sent the command with a port number and it returns a success message but nothing seems to happen. I try to telnet to that port and get nothing back... I'm running an...

It sure as **** doesn't seem to cut the mustard for me. Maybe it's my altitude (around 4800 feet) - but I know from past experience that the 5 CFM blower absolutely CANNOT maintain a fire when I'm trying to do stuff at a higher temp (eg 300) (i.e. turkey, or a rib roast) - I have to go out...

I see you are on twitter. http://twitter.com/JamiePurviance You're even following me on twitter... but you've never posted a single tweet (although I see now by looking that you have replied to one person now - so your page isn't entirely blank anymore) I saw in another post that you are...

I couldn't find any "fresh hams" in the supermarkets around me - and I considered myself lucky to find a "ready to cook" ham. I have a coke brine recipe from cooks illustrated ( if you dont have a cooks illustrated membership, someone copied the recipe here...

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00095055 There is a 4 and 11 gallon version of it - looks like it would work really well for ashes. I saw it at the store last night, but I already have a few trash can solutions so I didn't pick it up... but for someone looking for one - if you have...

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that although I used to be pretty good about cleaning my water-pan back when I used to put water in it... since I've switched to using my stoker I've not thought about it much... So... imagine my surprise when I'm using a hair-dryer to heat up my coals for a 350...

Everywhere I have seen has said 325 for an uncooked ham. This would be ok with me normally, but I have a 9.9 lb ham that I really need to take about 5.5 hours to cook, not the 3 hours it would take at 325. I figured I would put it on the smoker, set the stoker up for 260 and then head out, and...

Lately, I've started buying some of the 8.8 lb bags of Cowboy brand lump that they sell at Home Depot or Lowes - The bags are roughly the same size in volume as a 20 lb bag of Kingsford - but they only contain 8.8 lbs of product. I haven't measured it much, but it seems that I get about the...

Has anyone used one of these? It's a thermapen, but has an IR sensor on it as well. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/ir/combo_thermapen.html It sells for the same price as their normal "super fast" thermapens, so something's gotta give... I'm assuming that the thermapen part of it isn't...

I just picked up a genesis 1000 - with the three horizontal burners and the criss-crossing flavorizer bars. I bought it with the intent to use it for direct-heat items that cook in short times (i.e. chicken pieces, pork chops, burgers, hot dogs, etc) - but to continue to use charcoal for...

Anyone know anything about this Weber Flat top? I've never heard of anything like it before... I personally wouldn't want one because of the lack of a lid... but it is clearly a Weber. Are these popular in Australia?

My sister lives in MN and just emailed me this link to her blog: http://brihogan.blogspot.com/2008/05/hail-damage.html They had baseball size hail yesterday. Looks like she might be calling up weber to order a replacement lid sometime soon. Anyone else ever have Zeus take issue with their...

Anyone ever consider taking a chimney starter and finding a way to attach a propane torch to it so it would have a kind of easy-to-use gas-assist? Of course, making some kind of "sit chimney-starter here" aparatus would probably make more sense - perhaps get a cheap butane camping stove and...

Ok.. I picked up a Genesis 1000 (late 90's model - wood handle on the lid, durawood side tables) There was some confusion on it. I'm not sure how much they knew about the grill except for what they paid for it originally... etc - they claimed in the listing that it was both NG and LP - but when...

Using my magic time machine, I went back and found that sometime between Feb 02, 2007 and April 30, 2007 http://virtualweberbullet.com/ham2.html changed from being: "Spiral-Sliced Ham - Sugar Glazed" to just: "Spiral-Sliced Ham" I can only assume this was intentional - was there some...
