New and just got a Chargriller Duo

So thats basically what I did. I did a google for seasoning a BBQ. I thoroughly coated all the insides with veggie oil. And let it run around 300 for an hour.

Then today I smoked a 2lb pork roast it took about 4 hours at 225. Used the water pan method with a juice catch pan under the roast and a seperate pan with 2 inches of water directly above the coals. I used cherry wood that we use in our electric smoker and and made foil pouches. It took forever to get the pouches to start smoking. About an hour. I eventually put on two and found that putting charcoal on top helps. Smoked it too 140 and then just ran with heat up too 160 and boy was it good. Super Juicy, not the strongest smoke flavor (which I like) but alot of other people tend to shy from it if its to strong so that probably wasnt a bad thing.

On the other side I grilled onions, zucchini, pineapple, steak, fish, and burgers. I was cooking for 18 so I was busy all night. The gas side got hot a bit easy but other than that it performed great. I was very happy with the Duo and reccomend it to anyone that wants to get a grill and a smoker without spending too much.

I intend to get the side smoke box. We will see. hopefully next time I will post some pictures.

so I have been smoking up a storm and it has performed well. I dont actually have a camera other than my cell phone. But I thought I would post at least a pic or two.
