    CG duo w/ Rotisserie?

    Has anybody used Chargriller's rotisserie kit on the duo?  I have the duo w/ the SFB and my wife was interested in getting this to add to our arsenal.  From what I can see in the manual, the kit will not allow me to open the SFB while the counterbalance is attached?? I don't know... Does...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    I'm not sure of the actual dimensions...I ended up building a box out of some 24" expanded metal and some stainless nuts, bolts, and fender washers...I was bored at work last night, and all of the tools were at my disposal.  It helps that where I work, we sell the smoking pro, so I was able to...

    I have not been having much luck finding a decent charcoal basket.  I found this where I work...what do you guys think? It's not as tall as I was hoping for, but should still hold a fair amount of lump... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FJLMQ2/?tag=smokingmeatforums-20 I can get it for $9, so I'm...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    High 50's a couple of days next week (fingers crossed).   I've been doing some reading, and I plan on doing a few mods very soon: 1. charcoal basket...but I have not been able to find the Charbroil one anywhere...and there website doesn't show it from what I can find, so I'm thinking it might...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    Well I don't even plan on taking my duo out of the garage until the weather warms up a bit...I'm not going to attempt to season this thing when its at most 45 degrees out and raining/snowing.  The cars will just have to suffer being a little closer together until I can move the duo to the patio...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    Mounted the SFB today (took about an hour) and noticed that I'm going to need some RTV between the two chambers.  I also boil tested the two thermo's and the cheap walmart digi one I had tonight, and all of them were off by about two degrees (Chargrillers were low and digi was high, although I'm...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    Finally got the grill build tonight...now it will have to sit in the garage until the weather warms up a bit and I can move it to the patio and get it seasoned.   Another question though...in your opinion, should I season it first and then attach the SFB or put the SFB on and then season?? I...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    I have a cheap digital thermometer that I picked up at walmart last year that has a nice long probe that I use to monitor the temp when I have done ribs in the past on my old grill (was not a smoker).  It has a wireless display so I can sit in the house and watch the temp on the meat...but that...

    Thanks all!  I look forward to trying this thing out.  I hope the legs come soon so I can get her built and start seasoning.  The store I work at has an in-house butcher; so I'm only steps away from good cuts of ribs, steaks, chicken...or whatever else I can dream of smoking...I shouldn't think...

    Newbie w/ a Chargriller Duo w/ SFB

    Hello SMF world!    I recently purchased a Chargriller Duo w/ the side fire box.  I got all of that, brand new, and a cover for $150 + tax (Couldn't pass it up).  The box was missing the right side legs, but Chargriller is mailing me a set that should be here this week; I haven't even started...
