May the New Year bring many good cooks to everyone here at WSF.! I am currently in a smoking holding pattern as the jet stream has a lot of America in a deep freeze with blustery winds.Current conditions here in Virginia are -9 C with wind chill values at - 16 C....No good Mates ! Bill

No shirts for me Thanks

Winchester Va 22603 Merry Christmas Mate!

Any idea what shipping would be to the proper side of the pond?

Wade,a few ideas... Metallic duct tape- wrap on legs then reinsert Aluminium can- cut with tin snips wrap,reinsert Wooden dowel,broom handle etc. inserted inside legs Epoxy Bill

Howdy Jonty.Yet another warm,smoky welcome from across the pond is in order. Bill

I know, I just had to pulverize your pellets

Tut tut,no genuine Weber product?

Yeah,it looks like the second door would come in right handy.

Marcasm,please excuse me as I am a Yank...what is that WSM looking bullet smoker? Bill

Nice,watch the beeb whilst smoking.What brand is that strange legged Mini WSM ? A few years ago we had a 27" (69cm) and a fortnight later had a 29" (74cm) ,the first hadn't fully melted in between either.

It's not even winter yet!And who cares about winter shminter anyway....Pour the tea kettle into a thermos(maybe add a little sump,n - sump,n),pull on a warm jacket and make some smoke roll! Here in Va when we get our first deep snow one of my pastimes is to take a cryovac'ed rack of ribs out of the freezer.Put them in a bucket of tepid water,then dig to the smoker and picnic table first.Fire up the smoker and go about my snow removal duties for a spell -until cold or ready for a break.Come back in the house and rub a dub the ribs and warm up a bit -until I get the gumption to go back out.Put the ribs on,add wood chunks and shovel,plow and blow snow until done.Check ribs,add wood chunks and head inside to warm up again.Once warm,grab a good spicy sauce from the fridge and head back out to the smoker.Slather,slop and mop,head inside.Take some frozen corn on the cob out of freezer and get boiling while sauce sets up.Amass all plates,utensils a platter and bird seed.Head to picnic table,throw bird seed all around on top of snow.Pull ribs and VOILA! As soon as you take a bite off that first rib SHAZAM! It's a summertime picnic all over again with an interesting landscape and vibe with birds chirping all around sharing the bounty- you're a REBEL! Now get out there and FIRE 'EM UP! Bill

Thanks Steve,it was fun and tasty! Have about 2 Lbs (1 Kilo) vac sealed in freezer.I am a fan of the vinegar based sauce we make here in Va and the Carolinas.I'm getting it dialed in pretty good. Bill
