New here

[Brian Williams]

Happy to be aboard. Looking forward to learning how to improve my smoking and grilling. New Weber Genesis arriving this weekend. Currently using homemade WSM and cheap gas grill. Kicking cheap grill to the curb. Also considering WSM or PBC for my next addition.

Welcome to The Pit Brian Williams. Glad you're here. I don't have a PBC but several folks here have & love them. Here's a link to the PBC sub-forum. Hope that's helpful.

Welcome to the Pit! You can't go wrong with either the WSM or the PBC. There's lots of fans here of both ... and they'll be happy to tell you which is best (hint: it's the PBC ) ...

Welcome aboard! Before you throw out the old grill, if the frame is still in good shape you can pull the grill upper and lower out and you have a great frame for an outdoor station / table to use near the grills. I slapped some marine plywood on mine, stained it and use is it as a prep table. If I win the lottery I will cover it with granite When I got a kettle grill I cut out a center circle and set the grill in it. Works great. And yep that PBC is a fave around here, it's on my wish list as well

Welcome to The Pit Brian Williams! Great to have you here. Nice array of cookers you have/will have. Might I suggest the PBC if you already have a homemade WSM... Either way, as others have said, you can't go wrong.

Welcome to The Pit Brian Williams . Good luck with the new equipment. For what it's worth I love using my PBC!

My Weber Genesis arrived Sunday and it looks great. I had also ordered a set of grill grates and immediately replaced the stock grates. I did teriyaki shrimp kabobs and grilled pineapple and was happy with the performance. Monday I bought rib eyes and did my first reverse sear. Wow! I never ate a steak that was better than that. So happy with the purchase as well as my new technique for amazing steak.
Today fired up my mini WSM and smoked my first brisket. It came out awesome as well thanks to instructions from meathead. Lots of firsts in the last few days. Still eyeing the PBC.
