Weber Kettle Club Forums

Just me and my daughter. 

She had an ash catcher but she took it off pre-pic. 

Thanks to everyone on this website for talking me into the 26.  I'm obsessed.

And thanks in advance for my all my noob questions to come.

Nope.  Trying to resist and figure some things out on my own with practicing, reading as much as possible, and asking on here.

I have questions, but trying to not ask here until I've decided there's no more research or practice I can do.

Thanks.  I got all the grills, now I want a kid to complete the set .

I guess you're new to coal/kettles.  I think you're going the right route.  Learning all the alternative ways to do things, before jumping straight in with a slow n sear (there was life before one, although I do have one myself).  The 26" has great real estate to make it that little bit easier to try things out.

I've got two here in the UK.  It always amazes me that two of their best charcoal pieces of kit are some of the least popular, the other being the WGA/Weber Go Anywhere, which I'm also a massive fan of.  They've  currently stopped doing the 26", but they seem to bring them back out every few years.

The main reason I have never been interested in a slow in sear is I do a lot of cooking with coals spread out as well as banking. I don't want to have to move the sns in and out of the grill frequently. Also, I made a "better bigger" basket. It takes five minutes and is light weight and convenient. I used it last night for ribs. It's also free if you have a pair of baskets.

How was this done to make the bigger basket?  My handy skills are not good.

I just know with the SnS that I'd still want more direct grilling space.   Using fire bricks and that bigger basket seem like better solutions for me.

You take the baskets apart. It's super easy. I think there is just a couple metal tabs holding them together. Then you configure the pieces similar to what's shown in the link and drill a few holes and bolt together with some short stainless bolts. If you have a drill and the bolts, it literally takes five minutes. There is no cutting. They could be unbolted and restored to stock.

I have the WGA (used weekly at home and on my travels, I have 3), Jumbo Joe (my portable when I need bigger space) and Smokey Joe (seldom, if ever used anymore)

I see the WGA and Smokey Joe competing for the same market space.  The WGA for me wins in every single department, the way it packs up, the way you can do indirect easily and the usable real estate that is afforded.

Looks great, you down under by any chance?  Loving those colours.

That table any good or just a gimmick?

How did you fashion you deflector plate?  It's on my to do list.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Thanks.

No I am not down under. I am in the Chicago suburbs. I found the Red B code at an estate sale and then found the Grey at another estate sale a few months later.

The table raises the grill up to the perfect height. It also has a locking mechanism that keeps the grill secured. I have not used it yet but I have been told the 14" wsm will lock into it as well.
The deflector plate was made out of a piece of scrap stainless steel. There is one that is similar that is sold on Ebay.
