1st Cook on the Weber Charcoal Summit

April 18, 2016, 08:35 PM

Arrived today early enough to be able to cook up some ribs for tonight. Easy enough to put together and it took just over an hour. They even give you a little wrench.Ã°Å¸â€˜Â I chose ribs for the 1st cook and pretty much perfect. Temp was pretty stable at 250°F to 260°F. For the first few hours, the iGrill probe was pretty close to the Weber temp. gauge. Only later in the cook was there big difference. Here are a few picts...Tom
