My beautiful Weber!
I'm currently debating whether to cook my (US) Thanksgiving dinner turkey in the oven, or in the smoker...
Normally the smoker would be the choice, but I just had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, and have very limited use of my right hand/arm - making cooking in general more difficult (along with just about everything else I do). The oven will be easier, and my wife is more apt to be helpful...

Says a lot about UK summer in the Northern UK
Actually, my brother in Yorkshire asserts that this isn't actually true!

Unfortunately this year the weather from July onwards has been pretty poor and not just at weekends apparently according to Mrs Mac. I have to say that when I have come back its been wet and grey, and not just the Weber under used, the Toy car has only done about 1k miles this year as well. Mrs Mac has spent few long weekends in Munich as a result with me, to actually see some sort of summer weather, where we have a small Weber, but Gas powered on the roof terrace, as Charcoal is just too much trouble.
Cheers

I managed a good dozen BBQ's this year at Akro Towers in Yorkshire. There aint such a thing as bad weather, it's poor clothing. Having been to the Weber BBQ school I've upgraded my kettle to one with a temperature probe and enhanced smoke generator and aim to achieve that holy grail of BBQ's. the Texas brisket.
When I replaced my last Black Orb with a newer version, it came with an integrated ash-catching jobber. Excellent - no more wrestling with that wretched hub cap thing. Just riddle a couple of times, take off the pan and dispose of the ash...
But it's no longer available on th 47cm version - only on the 57cm which uses considerably more charcoal. Why oh why, Weber??

I have only ever used the 22 1/2 inch weber, which is more than enough for a couple of steaks, for using indirect heat to roast a turkey, or to cook many burgers for a larger event where we have plenty of people over. One need not use a large amount of charcoal if there is only one steak to grill for the two of us (The Missus and I): while the steak is "resting" we put the veggie skewers on to grill while the coals are still hot.
That is awesome.
