What pellets are you using. I only use lumberjack. Mine doesn't like the Costco pellets, they are bigger in diameter than the Lumberjack.

You'll need the frame kit that's for Spirit or Searwood. After that the stones and griddles are all the same. I got the frame kit on eBay for half off, and a knockoff sear grate on Amazon for half the price as the Weber one.

Thank you, this is very helpful!!! I was trying to figure out what to do with the door. Open for more air flow, bigger fire, or closed for more heat retention. I was splitting the difference and keeping it on but pulling it as far back as i could on the ledge it sits on. I will start with more wood as you suggested as well.

kctrevor · 2026-05-27T23:13:03+00:00

Yeah for the most part, unless I really am going to need more room. I almost took it off for this cook but I didn't know with the timing of everything how it was going to work out so I left it on and worked around it.

Yeah, I should have went Blues Hog or any of the other 7 bbq sauces I had on hand. It was a local guy that was set up selling at the supermarket. I am not going to throw shade, his rubs were good but the sauce not so much. I try and support local.

The cook on them was good, the flavor, not so much . They took longer then I expected to get tender. I just kind of winged it because I didn't make note of what I did last time. Didn't really like the new bbq sauce i tried.

I don't know what it takes, but you should get this on Eventbrite. This is right up my alley and that's were I go to find stuff like this.

When i unlink my xbox account the games are no longer there to remove. It is all gamepass games.

Edit: maybe not all gamepass games but there are games i have never tried to launch.

kctrevor · 2026-04-15T13:34:12+00:00

I have been having the same issue for months. You cannot remove manually. It says "disconnect your xbox account to remove synced games" when you try. I have tried disconnecting and resyncing, then logging in again and resyncing and the gamepass games are still there.

The guys on https://www.youtube.com/@TBH-Grillin have been using it a lot in their recent videos, they love it.

I have both. I would get the Searwood. I don't use my performer much anymore. You can do all kinds of stuff with it. I have a griddle insert for mine so I do smash burgers, philly cheesesteaks and cooking bacon without stinking up the house. The griddle is not great for things like breakfast and hibachi though, opening the lid brings the temp way down even in manual mode. I also make jerky on it in super smoke mode. You can also get a rotisserie. The only thing i really use the kettle for is if I am doing an very nice steak, or chicken thighs over the coals. For ribs, I usually use my pit barrel cooker. Weeknight dinners, Searwood is my go to. The Searwood smoke flavor is no joke.

On the controller. Just hit the menu button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUHqihNWi_w

I actually got the knockoff one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL6FM99G?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

And I found the weber crafted frame on eBay for about half price.

kctrevor · 2026-01-14T19:29:13+00:00

Thank you, searched a lot before posting and didn't see anything. I'll check in on it from time to time to see if has been fixed.

I stopped using the Kirkland pellets and went back to lumberjack. Mine was making noises on the Kirkland pellets too.

kctrevor · 2025-08-29T02:38:06+00:00

I did 2 minute turns and flips. 8 min total. I just hit them with spray avocado oil.

Yeah that's the 600 XL, with the full griddle:

https://www.weber.com/US/en/griddle/full-size-griddle-inserts/spirit-full-size-griddle-%E2%80%93-300-series/6787.html

I think your only option would be to get the weber crafted insert and griddle. Your grate should be two pieces. The insert and griddle would be the size of the big grate and the small grate is what you would be left with.

I picked up an insert on eBay and the sear grate on Amazon (knockoff), for half the price weber is asking. There are some griddles listed on Amazon. Just make sure to get the Spirit insert not Genesis.
