    In the market for a Flat top

    My 22" version has been getting a workout recently. Great size, heats up fast, and awesome for s steak or burger in a hurry after a long day!

    Does that allow more gas flow? I run it right now off either a 40lb or a 100lb tank, not those little Walmart disposable tanks.

    SOLD! Southern Q Limo Jr. Gravity Fed Cabinet Smoker - $1500

    Things are getting delayed as my sister's husband finally lost his battle with a long-term illness. I was hoping to hit Sam's Club for something appropriate for its inaugural cook this weekend.

    In the market for a Flat top

    The weight trade-off can be an issue for some. That being said, I wish my 4-burner 36" Blackstone had more heat and a thicker griddle. My 22" Blackstone is a dual burner heat monster. It will do a mean sear if you want it to. One or two of those monster propane burners for crawfish boils or...

    Any 2017 Black Friday deal to be aware of?

    First time with a WSM and it choked on ash

    It sounds to me like your briquettes are low quality and generating a huge amount of ash.  Try again with real LUMP and tell us if that makes a difference.  Also, try some different briquettes and let us know how it goes.

    Question on kamados

    I looked at the Akorn's and was underwhelmed.  For the price though, I think they are a reasonable option.  For about twice the price, a Vision Grill is worth consideration. For ~$350 you can get the ~13" Vision Kamado at Sam's Club.com.  End of the season, the larger one can be randomly found...

    Backwoods Chubby 3400? Or a Chubby?

    Wow, that's a lot of meat on what I thought was a pretty small smoker! How tight were the Boston Butts packed in it (it looks like the rack spacing is a little tight but, you have the deeper racks)?  Where they spread out on both racks?  Some pictures if you have them would be helpful too.

    100% newb Can I smoke on this?

    With a Webber kettle grill, I did some light smoking by adding branches gradually as the charcoal burned.  I wouldn't call this traditional smoking but, it did impart smoke flavor.  With your grill, I would try soaking some wood chips of choice in water and adding them to the grill while...

    Backwoods Chubby 3400? Or a Chubby?

    I am second guessing myself with a small offset stick burner so I have been looking at the insulated verticals.  The gravity fed models get too expensive too fast to be a viable consideration though, they sure look tempting. I am undecided on the water pan or not issue but, I keep coming back...

    Electric or Pellet smoker?

    So, it sounds like pellet grills can be a little expensive on the wood side of things but, offers some possible performance advantages.  Hot and fast with less smoke is where it's at with them.  Low and slow and heavy smoke is a bit tricky. The electrics are easy on the wood cost and but don't...
