Figured I would post what I did for my OTT chili. (Over the top)

https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a58253/best-homemade-chili-recipe/

This is the chili recipe I took inspiration from:

I added a whole sweet onion that was on the smaller side, subbed for white kidney beans, as well as adding a smaller can of crushed tomatoes and adding 2 cups of beef broth near the end of the cook. I used 1.5lbs of Costco lean ground beef, seasoned the meat patty with Montreal steak spice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.

2x2 snake around my Poortex, and some Applewood chips in the beginning as shown.

Cooked the patty on-top for about 4 hours, crumbled it into the chili (this is when I added the small crushed tomatoes and broth), and left it outside for another 3 hrs.

Served with sliced sourdough bread.

Hi all, I saw someone was saying the older Genesis models have a 25-year warranty for its cookbox and lid. I am wondering any of the front control ones like EP-330 or E-330 have that coverage? Google says it's 2016 and prior models, is that correct? Thanks.

Grilled some chicken thighs the other day. I dont use this grill too often and decided to use it. Cooked it indirect for awhile then finished it off over the coals. Seasoned the chicken with some carne asada season 24hr prior. Made some delicious chicken tacos with the meat. Used my charcoal holder to push all the coals to one side. Didnt want them overflowing out of the basket. I probably could've used a bit less charcoal.

Hey guys. I have a Weber Performer with the propane assist. The ignition button isn’t working well - 1. It keeps popping out. I can’t get it to stay secure. 2. I have replaced the battery and it it just won’t fire no matter how hard a press the button.

Any tips on getting this fixed? It is not under warranty.

Found this for sale. Do you think it's worth the effort? The guy doesn't know what year it is. He bought it used a year ago.

I asked my son how he liked it and he said “too many words”….which, I kinda agree with. As I’m refurbishing this grill, thinking do I stick with original or is there something else out there? Paint it??

Currently have a Weber spirit gas BBQ and am looking to expand into charcoal. Deciding between buying the summit kamado or a smokey mountain and a master touch 5750 as an alternative. So either a summit or the other 2 together.

I'd usually be cooking for 4 people but can be up to 10 semi regularly (few times a year). Predominant use would be smoking meat (ribs, pulled pork etc) so getting the best of that is probably the priority. Would also like the option to do a regular charcoal BBQ when I fancy it as well.

Price and space isn't really an issue but looks like I can get a SM 57cm including cover for £470. If I did get a MT it would be another 250-300 so about 800 in total. A summit is looking like 1300 minimum. The idea of being able to do both in 1 BBQ is nice but not sure it's worth the price difference.

Be interested in people's thoughts.

Purchased on FMP for $50 1993 (code P on damper) red kettle and lid only.

Purchased different black kettle $20 on FMP.

Added legs and triangle from the second to the red kettle and from Amazon obtained wheels and new one touch device and handles.

Was able to use the older model ash catcher that came with the kettle but had to do the pipe clamp fit to have a stable attachment.

Cleaned it all up.

Pretty happy with this.

Total cost about $120. I think it was worth it.

Still have the 2014 black kettle and bowl to deal with!?!

Beautiful 55°, Fall Monday evening AKA: perfect grilling weather.
Fired up the Genesis, slapped on some Brown Sugar Bourbon-marinated chicken breasts, and paired them with breaded Okra and mashed potatoes.

​

For tonight I decided to go with my newest Weber to the collection, and also happens to be the newest one and my 60's thumbscrew.

Pork chops , green beans and sliced potatoes with bacon , mushrooms, & onion . The neighborhood is going to smell very nice , vs nonstop leaf burning smoke 🫠

Looking for info on this kettle I can’t find it anywhere online has a EE code(1999) I bought it for $20

The wind was strong and it's only a dji mini 3 so I wasn't going to risk it trying to get better photos.

Thanks again Jim Thomas for hosting

Reverse sear and some poppers…

Spatchcock chicken with creole butter injected and holly gospel for the rub

One day I may have the complete outdoor kitchen, but for now I’m happy with my cooking station.

Baby Q
Searwood
Performer Deluxe I just posted the restoration on.
Sam’s Club 22” griddle.

I also have a Q2200 that was my go to for midweek cuisine for years, but not enough patio space for all of it.

Between them all, I don’t feel under gunned at all.

I came across this grill, they say that it is working properly, but I don’t know if it is worth buying.

Delicious!

Have to hold for guests.....

It ain't easy.

On a 26" kettle with a B&B snake with oak and pecan. Found a cheap packer last weekend so making for Sunday lunch watching Formula 1 at COTA in Texas. Frijoles Charros for the side.
