Thx @Javafan! I've had lots of great Weber experience. My parents bought a premium version in 1992 which showed me "the light" (a great grill makes it so much easier to cook excellently and without drama). I ended up using that grill again for a year around 2010 and then sold it to a friend. He's using it 4-5 days a week year round, and it's now over 25 years old. It's still on the original burners and most everything else
. They last generations and often get handed down in the family.
I bought a Weber Genesis in 2004 and enjoyed it. I upgraded to the loaded Summit in 2010. As part of that cleaning I decided to finally fix a door magnet issue (the shop I bought it from broke the plastic retainer for one). I phoned up Weber last week, gave them my info to register the grill for the first time and they are sending me replacement magnets for free. They've sent me free parts before on the earlier grills. Great company imo.
Cool custom smoker setup. Looks great! From what I've read one can turn just about anything into a decent smoker. My weber summit has a smoker box and it's known for not working the greatest. But I drape the grill with towels when I use it and leave the opposite end of the grill a little less covered for good smoke movement over the food; this method works spectacularly. One box over 30 min is a noteable smoke session. I do bbq ribs and ham this way. Two sessions for more smoke if one wants. For most everything I want one or two smoke sessions is usually more than enough. For pulled pork I bump it up to four or five sessions I actually have some people who find some of my grills a little too smokey, lol. With my experience, I'm use the site amazingribs.com which is an amazing resource for grill and bbq food and techniques. They also say that in a good setup a little smoke (a few sessions) can go a long way.
This mesh steel zipper pouch can simply be used to make most any grill a decent smoker. I was going to get one until I found out my towel setup works so well. I highly recommend those interested consider them.

Interesting on the Kamado grill.
More food! Here's a bunch of vegetables prepped for another great meal. Lots and lots... including baby bok choy, chinese broccoli, red sweet pepper, yellow sweet pepper, chinese basswood black fungus, shitake mushrooms, carrots and onions. I used peas as well and forgot them in this picture.
Another even more full house stir fry. In addition to the veg mentioned earlier it has chinese noodles, shrimp, dark soy sauce, black soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, chili flakes, sesame seeds, peanut oil and sesame oil. I added cashews as well, but forgot them in this picture. :agave:
If the picture is a bit soft that is because it was literally steaming hot.
Here's a zoom picture of a reheat of that stir fry but with freshly cooked shrimp and cashews added to the plate (I now cook only enough shrimp for one meal as it doesn't reheat well at all). Amazing. :agave::agave:
Cheers!
