Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 Charcoal Consumption
I used to have a WSM 18" before I had to sell it when I moved across the country. I'd use about half to 2/3 a bag dotted with wood chunks and using the Minion Method to do a pork butt and it would last the full cook-- 14-18 hours or so. I didn't even have a temp controller like the Guru or any...- jonrd463

I'm looking into getting a Pellet Grill/Smoker
I've got a GMG Daniel Boone Prime and I like it, but there were some things I had to do to it to get it to behave for me. Primarily, sealing the lid. There were gaps, so I got some RTV650 and made a form-in-place gasket on the lid that has dramatically improved heat retention and temp stability...- jonrd463

Couple of ducks
I'm going to wait and carve them up tomorrow, but I couldn't help myself and had a drumstick before tucking them in for the night. Delicious! There didn't seem to be much smoke penetration, but I'll see how it tastes tomorrow. -

Couple of ducks
I've had it a grand total of twice, but never smoked. One was roasted and the other grilled. I'm trying to broaden my horizons a bit. I've done plenty of butts and chicken, as well as some briskets and chucks. Figured I'd try my hand at duck, with the thought that if I'm able to pull it off... -
Couple of ducks
First time smoking ducks for me. I got inspired by a Malcolm Reed video on Youtube. Like him, I stuffed them with oranges and onions and glazed it with an orange juice and soy sauce mix. I probably should have cut that front skin flap off, but I'm going to spread it out and see if it crisps up... -

Just joined the GMG Prime club
Alrighty, first cook is in the books! Sorry for so little q-view, but it was an overnighter and I was exhausted. Also, pardon the first pic. Ol' Daniel was chugging out a nice cloud that got illuminated by the flash. :D I've cooked on a cheap offset, an ECB, and a WSM, and I have to say, this...- jonrd463

Got it today and did a 30 min/350 clean-out burn. Other GMG owners, would you recommend an oil & smoke seasoning on it before I do my first cook?- jonrd463

Faux Chick-Fil-A sammich in the Air Fryer
Chick Fil A's food is good. Not life changing, but tasty enough. Where they wipe the floor with other fast food restaurants is in service. That's what keeps me coming back. I did a copycat version in a regular deep fryer, but similar brining and breading process. Came out almost like the original! -
New old new guy in Summerville, SC
I worked with a guy whose family owned and operated Caveman Kitchen. Shame it closed, as it was a local favorite of many. Sadly, my only experience there was lackluster. I got the ribs and they were tough and barely edible. I had gone at my co-worker's urging, and when I told him of my... -
New old new guy in Summerville, SC
Yeah, Carolina barbecue is great! I'm originally from Georgia, but it all blurs together for me after having lived out in the PNW for the better part of 14 years. I actually tried Carolina Gold for the first time not to long ago and I'm sold. I still call Memphis style my favorite, but I've yet... -
New old new guy in Summerville, SC
Hi all! Back in about 2010, I started down the path of the backyard pitmaster with a cheap baby Chargriller offset from Walley World, and I joined the forum. I posted a few super newbie posts as I got my feet wet, then eventually switched to an ECB. I didn't post any after that point, but went...
