Going back to the basics starting this weekend. Bought the original Weber Kettle. Goal is to work my way up to a Weber Smokey Mountain.
Maiden voyage will be Chiavetta's chicken. Will soak in the sauce for 2 days, then slow cooked in the Weber. Looking forward to it

By the way, take a good look at the Weber Platinum Performer. It's my grill. You you can  smoke, grill etc with the convenience of propane assist for lighting. Charcoal fire in less than 10 minutes.

Saw these today for the kettle.





The heat forms a draft up the center and with the lid on forms a vortex. You can cook the wings with indirect heat on the sides. And you can sear ribeyes over the center furnace.

Look up BBQ Vortex or charcoal vortex. They look a little pricey, saw one guy had made one by chopping off a stainless bucket from ikea and saved money. Probably something you can DIY and save, but check if material is safe to do so with. I think galvanized is not, I will try to look it up and post back.

Only acidic foods should not come in contact with galvanized steel according the the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. The acid in some foods reacts with the zinc coating to form salts that are readily absorbed by the body and in excess could cause a very mild sickness.Sep 8, 2011

The vortex thing looks interesting. Only problem I see is you can't add charcoal to the fire. I use the Weber charcoal baskets that sit on the sides of the fire grate and unde the hinged portions of the grill.

Any of you ever look at the Arteflame grill top for Weber Kettles? That looks very interesting to me.

Thanks for the referral i will look into it. Ideally, i want to keep the current LP grill, use the Classic Weber for charcoal cooking and then the Smokey Mountain as the smoking option. I like the idea of separating church and state I guess...
