That's the beauty of Weber's, you can order replacement parts. I've overhauled my 18" er when the vents got stuck in place. Grill grates are readily available at most home centers. I like the one that flip up at either end for smoking.

Yeah -- I've been using Webers for about 30 years, and in that time have gone through exactly two (the one I have now and a previous little smokey). They're essentially bomb-proof. I'm starting to feel a little better; there are some cool things out there, but when all is said and done, heat+smoke+outside=good!

I stick to basically the same woods you listed too when I lived out East.
Red Oak,apple, were the main.
You have to know what grows in your area. I had friends in the Mis Atlantic region that would always bring up a pick em up truck load of hickory whenever they crossed the Manson-Nixon line.

I thought about getting one of the smaller Big Green Eggs, but I'm just a casual once in a while throw burgers/dogs/salmon on the grill kinda guy. A Big Green Egg in whatever size would probably be a waste of money for me.
That said, there are comparable products out there, and there is one I saw on amazon for $98 that I might end up buying. It has all the vents, thermometer, etc. seems to be made pretty well based on the reviews and pictures, and uses minimal charcoal briquettes to cook stuff.

Depends entirely on the wood. You can buy bags of wood chips for smoking in most grocery or hardware stores around here. I guess it may not be as popular over there?

You can't just go and pick up branches, it's the Queen's wood, after allAs I said chaps I have NO clue what's available here - they're all just trees as far as I'm concerned
A friend of mine told me when she and her ex-husband were stationed in England (US Air Force), the house they rented had a fire place. One day she decided she wanted to use the fireplace and had noticed a lot of downed limbs in a wooded area on the side of the road she always travelled on to work. So she decided to stop and pick some up....a police officer stopped and told her she couldn't take it, it belonged to the Queen.

This covers it. We've got the larger Weber...don't know the exact specs...I think it's the "standard" size and we use lump charcoal (not the composite briquets). It's great for our needs. As I posted in grilling related posts in the past, my dad goes crazy and cooks whole turkeys and chickens in them. He gets into the whole indirect heat cooking techniques, using a disposable loaf pan with water to stop various things from drying out. It's remained essentially unchanged, because it's a near perfect design...barring the carbon emissions...mmm, tasty carbon emissions...

The Party Gator was on my smoker list years ago. They are way spendy now.
2x the price from when I first looked at them.
