weber 22.5

After 10 years of cooking on drums, I pulled the trigger on a 22.5 WSM. Assembly went well with one exception. No matter how much “persuading” I tried, the ash pan simply doesn’t fit. I’ve bent the prongs up and down a little here and there, but can’t get all three of them to line up. Damn thing...

The fins (air inlet adjusters) on the bottom of my 22” kettle have a gap between the kettle and the fin letting in air. Therefore, I can’t control the temperature well. Is there a way to bend them back into position or do I need to buy new fins? Again. Thanks.

Didn't have enough time to smoke on the 4th due to travel plans. Needed a quick, easy cook, but wanted it to be DEEEEElicious. Solution? Smashburgers! But......how long will it take me to heat up my offset cooker firebox so I can try out my new griddle? I don't feel like doing that experiment...

For those who have experience with both - I have had a 22.5 for several years and I love it. But I often wish I had a bit more space. I get by using some creative grilling gymnastics, but the extra space would be useful. Problem is, with my other equipment and storage commitments, I do not...

Weber OneTouch (Silver?) 22.5" It's almost 7 years old which I think means I'm beyond warranty. Grates are really rusty. Tried oiling them last week. Already this rusty again. How do y'all care for your grates? Is it worth trying to restore these or should I just buy a new set (and maybe upgrade)?

Birthday celebration last night. Went down to the butcher and got these hand cut beauties. Biggest filet I've ever seen on a Porterhouse. The thing almost looked perfectly proportionate. And thick too! 1.8 lbs. in total. Couldn't resist throwing a great looking ribeye into the order as well :)...

Was away at my parents vacation home in Poconos, PA. Was driving around home to home to for the community flea market, when I saw it on the side of the road, a Weber 22.5" with a sign that read "free take me, yes it really works". Was pumped, having never made any super affordable or free BBQ...

Still breaking in my new weber I 'had' to buy for vacation. Threw some monster beef ribs on the 22" weber with hickory and cherry. Used some seasoning a couple of guys sent me in the mail :thumb: You know me.......beef-love basted. It will save the world! Little light fruity beer...

Coming from Georgia pork is the king of the smoker. Well at least where I am from. After seeing all the post here on brisket I felt it was time to leave the steak in the frigerator and try something new. I have done hundreds of butts, picnics,ribs and chicken, but never smoked the beef. To the...

Had two filet mignons I got as a gift from my boss this week. I thought I would build on that solid foundation with scallops, corn, asparagus and garlic bread for the wife's birthday dinner. Oh yeah, went and got a new weber today and this was her maiden voyage. Let me know what you think.

Hello everyone! Just thought I would share a couple of new mods that I've done on the WSM. After adding the tables I found that is was pretty clumsy towards the back part of the tables between the "feet". To counter this I needed to add support between the feet to allow for less "tip...

So, yes I´m from Sweden, south Sweden actually. Thank god, in the north you can hardly keep your weber going all year. I´m from a small place called Gantofta, biggest city nearby is Helsingborg. Bought a house in another little place called Åstorp three years ago and since then the BBQ´ing...

So...I have been a forum lurker for a very long time now. This one and countless other. Collecting data, doing my homework and research, collecting recipes etc...what should I get an offset stick burner? a vertical smoker? pellet perhaps? Kamado????? the options were endless. So yesterday I...

I want to add temp control to my Weber kettle on a Performer. I am considering the Auber nit vs. the Guru ParyQ. Any comments or suggestions? I only want pit temp control and not spent a pot of $. Any suggestions on options or what to include or exclude is appreciated.

I have the Weber 22.5 OTG grill and a Smokenator 1000. I'm getting used to the Smokenator and like it. But the short comings of the set up in terms of size is hitting me quickly. I am making a "hover grill" out of an older grill grate that should fit under the dome. But I'd really like to...
