Pulled pork at 350?!?

[sunsanvil]

Just a followup on the thermometer: Got an oven thermometer and had it on the grate this weekend.  Interesting observations:

- Not surprisingly, the lid meter will report dramatically different figures depending on the orientation of the lid, ie whether the meter is above the coal bed or not.  I was doing a side-to-side layout yesterday and there was a good 50+ difference between the meter being over one of the beds vs. in between.

- Lid meter NOT over the coal bed is actually pretty close to the oven meter on the grate in roughly the same position.  However....

- With vents all-open, the lid will still tend to read higher than the oven therm...but with vents partially closed, the oven therm actually reads equal or even slightly higher than the lid.

This is the kind of scientific stuff we need around the campfire here......

^^ Agreed.

Now, if I'll only be able to remember any of it later ...

         I tag them w/ a little note & store in a G-Mail draft.....

"erroneously pigeonholes their kettle "


 I will give up my erroneously pigeonholed kettle when they pry my cold dead fingers from around it !!!!



But seriously, I wrote Troy a long time ago about a bunch of threads that had, from my perspective at least, had merit or value as to infomation on dating, style changes, colors & the like......there were at that time a few on cleaning & restoration; this area is much more pronounced now.......

He said he'd not like to keep expanding the sections to more & morwe areas & I really get that, 'cause it can turn into
what G$ is talking about.....

I will be the voice of dissent.

Sometimes a thread morphs in to a resto.  Then what? Or it contains restoration and non restoration topics.  I still think the volume is manageable the way it is.  I sort of like that there are relatively fewer forums, rather than multiple forums with low activity.
Whats next, deleting threads due to inactivity? 
I kid, I kid.

Another way  that I was thinking about this, which may or may not make sense to do, or even work worth a dang, is to "Sticky" the posts that develop up into a valueable segment of information....
{ Disclaimer: I'm at best a 2nd or 3rd tier addition to this place, may not be on track at all & probably was allowed in mostly for entertainment purposes anyway.....}

That way, they can be found, they stay put, they develop over time as new info becomes appearent, the info could be more easily distilled for "article-ing" on the front page (stuff that's easy to digest for the general Weber public), but then if anyone wants to see how info was arrived at.....the progession is intact & available......

Here they are:
( And keep in mind, this was dated Nov. 2 right before I got ferociously sick & I gathered up a few more / 5 or 6 / after this AND ALSO ~~~> There's a bunch of newer ones that I've not kept track of.....so this may not work....Yeah, right Buckie let's just "Sticky" the whole place...bumper stickers all around..... )
The one item that doesn't get too well represented is the gas assist Performers, my fault, as I know very little about them & don't know what to look for in a disscussion thread,; I tried.... 

There's also a couple cleaning & repair threads at the bottom, in thinking possibly we could be of service to the general public ( the Weber public, I guess...)
