Isn't the trio just the duo with the firebox added? Sold as a package rather than having to add the firebox?

So about 5 years ago I made some baskets to replace the original heat shields (see link).  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/54285/char-griller-duo/20#post_855540 Well those baskets are now rusted. Also the drum has rusted through my neglect. This grill is only 8 years old. How old is...

Yup, I probably saw the same one. I agree, easier. I was looking for cheap, fun & challenging to me. Garden cart way to easy and more money than I wanted to spend. I have more time, than money. :)

Oh!   That is just a handle. Yes, like a wagon. I just just made it swivel out of the way so it it wouldn't stick straight out.

No. Sorry, your guess is wrong. Wheels I bought from Harbor Freight. The steering, I made. Really bad job of welding...more grinding than welding. but again my first time, so.......

Hi Alex, I basically looked at a go-kart steering setup and made the parts. I added some angle iron to the shelf, to make it stronger.  I also inserted/welded a tube (to fit axle bolt) inside of the leg to make that stronger. Center is just flat iron bolted through angle iron/shelf. What made...

Best of luck with your mods.

Hey boudin4evr, I did a mod on the gas side....check this post: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/54285/char-griller-duo/20#post_855540

I got mine in 2009. 2010 Mods ... Added larger wheels. Steering for portability especially when smoke is going and wind changed direction. Swing arm so it won't stick straight out Don't make fun of my welding, this was my first try. Dryer tube for smoke stack. Stove rope gasket around...

apratsunrthd, I too was wondering about the ceramic briquettes. Debated about doing this since this unit has the charcoal side. Once the flame shields rusted, I came up with mod. The materials were about the same price as ordering 3 new flame shield from Char-Griller. Would have been cheaper...

wrench3047, you 're right about moving it. Especially when you are actually using it. I modified mine which includes mobility.Check it out at this link: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/74301/char-griller-duo-mods#post_565262 -Ron

Hi Russell, Answers to your questions: What was your brine solution?  2 c salt  1/2 c brown sugar  1 c bourbon 3 c apple juice 1 gal water 1T pepper corn How long did you brine them? over night ...about 12 -14 hours What did you do after brining? rinsed it. I think this maybe where I...

PigCicles, Thanks...I did do a quick rinse maybe not enough...in fact I don't remember rinsing the inside...I may try it again. I need to stop looking at foodtv so much. Last year (with no mods) I injected the turkey, smoked it over Hickory ... I was really proud of that one.  jojo22, I...

Well I smoked the two turkeys. Before mods I had trouble keeping the temp down to 225....with mods I had a hard time keeping the temp up. The temp just went all over the place...maybe I just need practice. Also I soaked the turkeys in a brine....wow did it come out salty ... not certain what I...
