There is no pictures but I used my 18 tonight
To grill 10 pork chops and I love it.. it is so easy to use
And so efficient.. I have 4 22's and a Ranch but my 32 rocks
I got an 18" performer a while back. One night I thought what the hell, I threw a tri tip on it. Was awesome, but recently I found a love for my Smokey Joe... did 2 pork tenderloins and it worked flawless!
My 18" is used with the Rotisserie exclusively. But for that I love it!
I have an unnatural love for my Jumbo Joe. I know I'm not supposed to like it too much because of the squat design but damn if it doesn't make for a great cooker, portable or not. Most of the time it stays in storage, lest I start using it so much my 22's get dusty. Yeah, I have issues ...
My lone regular 18 gets less use because I don't like daisy wheel intakes.
LOVE 3 wheelers!
So much more control, especially for indirect.
Maybe indirect has less meaning (and usefulness?) on an 18, where everything is cozier both horizontally and vertically. I admit to never so much as having seen a 3-wheeler 22 in real life.
I find the intakes harder to open/close, hard to prevent bending the vents, and also food gunks them up and then they won't seal shut, and the stop tabs either get bent or broken, making knowing when they are closed impossible without bending down to look.
But none of tat is what this thread is about ...
Love the 18 and am always looking for an excuse to break it out. This one is very special as it is a Wood Dale 49er, and was a gift from

That thing looks like it stepped straight
off the catalog page. Beautiful.
That's a real beauty, for sure! It is cool to see that it still not only looks like new but cooks that way, too!

I absolutely love my 18! It has quickly become my go to cooker when cooking for myself or smaller cooks for the family!

Love my 18!
I really like my 18 for quick small cooks.
Have not used it in years...my 26" rules...even for small cooks...My PK is other go to grill. I have 2 performers that have not seen much action either because of the 26"
My 18's are my go to travelers. Luv them.
Hey
@Winz Can you kindly share how you get your pictures to appear full size like that?
Thanks!
One of my first dedicated tailgate grills was a Labatt's Blue 18' Weber. It was perfect for grilling taco's wings, etc. :)

He hosts them elsewhere, in this case Dropbox. You can also sign up for WKC's free image hosting service, pics.weberkettleclub.com It's a separate login from your WKC login.
After that, it's all about sizing the photos how you want so that they're not too large/heavy. Getting the URL. And then posting it here within IMG tags.
Great! Thanks much!
Haven't used my 18 since the Misses upgraded me to a 22. My 18 has hand many amazing cooks, I need to break it out soon.
Side note: Anyone turned an 18 into a pizza oven?

The 18 can do anything its bigger brothers and sisters can do... just in smaller quantities. And it's easy to move around. Portable. And cuter. :)

I was thinking about using an 18 for pizza oven. I would image it would require less fuel to get it up to temps since the space is smaller. But I haven't made pizza before. Maybe one of the pizza pros can chime in.

If I'd done it on an 18 I don't remember. But since the charcoal and cook grates are closer you're battling the issue of burning the bottom even more than when on a 22.
The KettlePizza is configurable for the 18.5 but you'll notice hardly anyone uses it that way. Probably because you can't stuff as much fuel into an 18.
I think the 18s are ideal for pizza
I have a Modded (cut) 18 lid (my favorite), as well as a PizzaQue and KettlePizza both configured for the 18.

Dazzo's 18" pizza lid at last year's WKC picnic. Rick rocked the pizza's all day. Karen (as well as the rest of us) hope it makes another appearance this year.

OK that's pretty neat; I wasn't aware. I'll search the Pizza subforum for more.
Broke out the OTG 18 tonight for some cedar plank salmon.
