Thread: For all the "Pro" charcoal grillers

I just load the grill up with some hickory, oak, cherry and apple wood. Burn it down to coals and cook on it.

man I don't want to get cross with feesh , but that sure sounds like a real good way to rust one out every year !! I have a good one that will shut off..... you close the damper and its out. I put a disc coulter blade in the bottom and pour my coals on it to keep it off the bottom, when im ready to go again, ive got a piece of small expanded metal and a bucket that I recycle into,, cuts down on the dollars and the ash/un-burnt coals in the corners of the yard !!

For a Weber witch I have the gold model , your basic grilling you cannot beat it... For slow cooking I have a brinkman smoker I use lump charcoal...

I use Nothing but charcoal....Gas sucks!!!!

Lumps is the best!Hardly no ash and it burns hotter so you are able to use less and it burns longer!May cost more but it's worth it!

Man, dont worry bout getting cross with me. I'm open for suggestions, sounds like you've got it figured out. My grill want seal off tite enough to smother my fire. Maybe I could line the seams with something like they put on wood stove doors?

yes that will work great, at the fireplace stores they also have a tube of sealant that you put on the cracks or pipes/ducts.... cant remember but its red and goes by a number not a name.... that would be good to lay a small bead down to stick the felt. now you might want to burn it off one good time before you cook on it, might even want to test a small piece before you go the full monte ...... it doesn't smell or smoke on a fireplace but I aint cookin $9 dolla a lb beef steaks on it either !!
