    Smoker Test and Cook-off

    When I was trying to decide between a pellet and ceramic cooker, I saw my local ACE Hardware was doing a demo weekend with Trager and BGE, so I stopped in. They used the same brine and rub on pork loins, as well as same cooking temps and were sampling right off the grill when we were there. I...

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    I did a Cherry wood smoked Bison meatloaf this afternoon on the ceramic cooker and brought it up to the mtns for dinner. After it was 5F from the finish temp, I brushed it with some homemade BBQ sauce. Turned ou delicious. I put it on a noon and had to drive to Boulder for a doctors...

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    So far, I've used mine 3 times. First time was not so successful, but that was my fault. I lit the Primo XL, closed the lid and turned on the unit to bring it up to temp. Because it was the first cook and in leanring mode, it took nearly 45 minutes to get up to temp (300F), but then was dead...

    Tapatalk not showing threads

    I pretty much use Tapatalk for all my forums that I participate in and starting last night, I am unable to see any threads under the Subforums, Timeline, Unread, Subscribed or Participated sections in Tapatalk, but I can see threads in the "Trending" section - only there. Anyone else having...

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    One thing to note...when you enter your wifi password, you have to use the up/down arrows to select each character and there are a LOT of them due to upper/lower case, numerics and special characters. After you enter the last character in your password, you have to scroll through and find the...

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    No cook yet since it just arrived but connecting to wifi was simple and I get signal at the grill where my iPhone struggles to connect to the wifi. Linking the Flame Boss to the wifi was mindlessly easy. Plug it in, wait a couple of minutes for it to look for Wi-Fi signals, use the...

    Slaw Shredding Efficiently ?

    We bought this OXO Mandoline for less than $35 with one of their 20% off coupons and it works great. The blade height is adjustable and closes completely for washing. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/1/298945-oxo-good-grips-simple-mandoline-slicer.html

    Dry rubbed and bacon wrapped!

    I'm fairly new to the forum and just got my Primo XL last week. I was working from home on Friday and decided to surprise the wife with dinner - normally Friday is takeout since we are tired from the week. I did some ABTs (stuffed with smoked chicken, cream cheese and cheddar) and bacon...

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    Well, no response but I decided to give it a go anyway and ordered one today.  After I have a chance to get some cooking down with it, I'll provide an update on the ease / difficulty of setting up the wifi and how well the fan /controller works.

    Thanks guys! The smoked turkey we bought last year for Thanksgiving revived my desire to smoke again and I'm looking forward to learning some great techniques on the forums.

    Flame Boss 200 WiFi

    I was looking at the BBW Guru CyberQ, but reading all the IT nightmares on getting it to connect and stay connected to the home WiFi without having an IT degree made me reconsider it. I was leaning more towards the DigiQ DX2, but then saw the new Flame Boss 200 WiFi model that just came out a...

    Hey all, It's been a LONG time since I had a smoker and back then is was one of the old Webers that you had to feed with charcoal briquettes every hour or so. This time around I bought a Primo XL and built my own table for it. I've had it for less than a week, but am having fun already...
