    Need some help getting that wonderful "bark" on some ribs

    Hi everyone, Haven't posted here in awhile, but I'm making a couple racks of ribs for a get-together we're having tomorrow evening. Normally I "cheat" a little bit by smoking the ribs for a couple hours, then putting them in foil for 2-3 hours to make them tender. I want to change it up this...

    Chargriller Duo charcoal basket mods?

    Hey guys, I have a chargriller duo with the added on smoker box. Love it, but the charcoal grate in the smoker box is looking rough from the high temps, plus too much charcoal falls off the edges. Was curious as to what you guys have done to improve the charcoal basket. I have a sheet of 16...

    Howdy from WV- Looking for a little advice & tips!

    Hey everyone! New guy here, I'm from northern West Virginia, just semi-recently got into smoking. My wife and FIL got me a Chargriller Duo for my birthday about a year and a half ago and I've been loving it. Have mostly done ribs on it so far and everyone has loved them. I work with a guy that...
