NEW Weber 26 kettle $175
« Reply #-1 on: February 09, 2017, 05:12:03 PM »
My first Weber grill and I scored on a new in the box 26 inch kettle for $175 no tax! Just had to drive hour n half to get it.
Me my boy and neighbor made it a road trip and stopped at the man store cabelas (which is way over priced) and bought some cabelas blacken seasoning which is the best in my opinion.
Looking for some advise on some needed accessories to make it a great grill/smoker.
I been looking at the slow n sear and vortex. I'm looking to grill and smoke everything so the SNS looks like something I want but need to know if it's a great wing cooker (crisp skin).
Of if I need the the vortex for that.

Thanks!! I bought a PBC a month or so ago and cooked three times on it and I think I got bit by the charcoal bug!!!! All I can say is the 2 electric smokers I have are getting shoved in the corner to use to stack stuff on!
When I told the ole lady I was getting another charcoal grill she said OK.
So for me it's a new tasty learning experience and I don't think there's a better place to be on to learn how to be the best with charcoal. It's cause of all of you why I have made the change and all I can say is thanks!

You got a good deal and your basic Weber kettle is a very capable cooker for almost anything.  I've had my Performer (quite similar) for over ten years and I still use it with some regularity.

Do grill grates make that much of a difference? And would I use them for all my cooks?
And what brand of grates would you recommend?

Congrats on the deal. I just got my first Weber Kettle and will be learning how to use it too. Take a look at this link for comments about several things you might want including the Vortex and Slow n Sear.
