I am going to like this little guy.

Beautiful weaving skills.

I've done a couple fatties. The weave eludes me. I just wrap.

Post by: LightningBoldtz on October 02, 2015, 06:08:44 PM: Why does the weave elude you? First time I thought it was super easy
Title: Re: Test driving the 14 WSM
Post by: TheDude on October 02, 2015, 06:14:45 PM: @LightningBoldtz it was stretching, getting thin and getting hard to work with.

Ron, I am thinking the same thing. My Walmart had a stack of them the other day for $154.99. I have had no luck finding an appropriate pot to make a mini. I am about to just go for it.

Post by: Jason on October 03, 2015, 10:40:16 AM: @LightningBoldtz @SixZeroFour or anyone else that has experience with the bacon weave. Do you just tuck the weave under the fatty and just hold it together, to get it on the grate? Or, is it held together somehow?

Oh, very tasty looking first cook on the 14" LB!
Title: Re: Test driving the 14 WSM
Post by: SixZeroFour on October 03, 2015, 12:02:31 PM: @Jason I usually try to make the fattie about 10" long so that you can completely wrap around it and then tuck and fold the sides down over the ends ends and underneath. The weight of the fattie is all that holds it in place until cooked.

... Make sure to post pics of your adventure! 8)

Post by: MrHoss on October 03, 2015, 01:37:41 PM: Bingo!!! Oh man you nailed that thing baby!!! Had a feeling you were gonna like that thing. Cleanup and prep is a bloody breeze and charcoal usage is negligible.
Title: Re: Test driving the 14 WSM
Post by: LightningBoldtz on October 03, 2015, 02:08:37 PM: My weave was not big enough to surround the entire fatty so yeah I just tucked in on the bottom.
