Hi everyone, I’m Gaz, I now live in Somerset.
I have a Weber Original Kettle 22” and a 22” WSM.
Not great on forums so it will probably take me a while to work my way through it, I’m sure there’s a buy and sell page but yet to find it, I am a member of 2 other forums so will get by eventually.
Fairly new to proper BBQing, I used to just light 3 chimneys and cook on an inferno, not very good really. I took an interest in BBQ and started watching a few YouTube videos and started to put a kit together.
I have been smoking on my kettle for the past year or so but finally took the plunge last week and bought a WSM, first cook is going on tomorrow, I can’t wait, I have heard so many good things about them and seemed good value.
Like any good hobby, I end up investing a fair few quid, I’m after a charcoal grate for my WSM as I hear using 2 prevents you loosing too many small coals so I am on the look out for one of those.
I have just bought an iGrill 2, but awaiting delivery and I have spent a small fortune on BBQ seasonings during lockdown.
Look forward to hearing new ideas and I’m sure I’ll end up modding my WSM, my current “mod” is a pair of welding gloves to alter the vents! I have sealed it up with BBQ grill tape, I’ve applied around the rubbish door and under the lid, I thought I was better off doing it from new before the grease builds up.
I think it’s inevitable that I will get a new door.
I’ve attached a couple of photos of me looking proud with my kit and another of my seasoning collection.
One photo has flipped and as per usual I can’t fix it sorry, technophobe......
Cheers all
Gaz.
