See, I get smarter every day! Thanks to all, and I will certainly try
out the suggestions I received from you.
Not a fanatic, but I've been using a 22" Weber for a few years, and
recently bought a performer and am feeling like it would be fun to get a
little more serious about what I'm doing. I love what a Weber can do,
but perhaps I should think about a barbecue.
