Weber is watching.
« on: November 16, 2016, 04:52:56 AM »
For a long time, Many of us have thought that clearly weber monitors this site.

Their latest turkey cook video suggests this as well

https://www.facebook.com/weberbbq/videos/10154277329703422/

There's a few things here:

1. Using gas assist to light chimney instead just lighting the coal Baskets directly which weber traditionally suggested.

2. The basket placement at one end pac-man style as opposed to the traditional parallel postition.


It's great to see that weber listens to its customers and is willing to evolve.

The only thing I notice that club folks would do is start with more unlit coal under the lit so it cooks high temp minion style without reloading. Weber still suggests adding coals hourly. Maybe that will be the 2017 video :)

Is the gas assist really worth it? I just bought 2 performers and was wondering how long the small canisters last? I was thinking the cubes and a chimney would suffice

Please go back to welded handles instead of the new taco handle! And find an environmentally friendly way to bring back red and red mist.

Gas assist is great because it's quick easy and low maintenance. The cubes are 2nd choice and they are my go to when I'm cooking away from home.

The 1lb tanks don't last forever but for the cost it's fine. Buy the multipacks so you have back ups.

@Mrennis84

Nope. Gas assist is not necessary. It's nice to have but certainly not necessary. The canisters last a long time. If you don't prefer the little canisters you can always get the Weber Q adapter hose. Then you can use a 20lb propane tank.

As for Weber looking at the site.. I'd guess they do. Please offer 26rs in color. And bring euro colors to US.

So seeing this I am wondering if they did in fact continuously add coals to keep that fire going. That looked like a big bird and I am sure those 2 baskets didn't last the whole cooking time
