Fantastic thread. Appreciate your attention to photography. I usually get too amped up to start the smoker and get things going to take that many photos. THANKS!
MY best guess is when I switched to the Kingsford is that I mis-guessed where the hot coals ended and I poured a bunch on still active lump and it all lit up, rather than a slow, progressive light like the minion method should work. That's really about the only theory I have at this point and a...
So I'll be up front, no pics, as it was early, and I had some early issues that had me preoccupied. Had a pork shoulder that I split into two 4 pound halves to reduce my cook time, plus one pork loin. Loin (I split into three pieces so I had a total of six ends with rub on them) was rubbed...
Sorry - long delay to not say a lot....I don't have the part number, it's the "one" that fits the char-griller with the three stacks. Since it gets windy here in North Texas, I made a long bungee cord out of three long bungies by taping up the inside hook connections, leaving the two ends...

Hadn't had ribs in a while and we were having another couple over so I figured I'd fire up the Char Griller smoker side for some ribs. I decided to try three different rubs for an unscientific taste test. One that I like from a BBQ place in TX (Rio Ranch Seasoning Brisket Rub), another that I...
Smoked up some shrimp for New Year's Eve. Got 2 pounds of 26's, shelled them and left the tails on. Sprinked about 3 TBSP (a little too much) of a seasoning I got from winning a hockey game bet, that would normally be used in a crab cake recipe. I didn't have anything else mixed up and this...
Don't know if this qualifies as Q-vue or not since it isn't actually on the grates, but here is what we looked like immediately after coming off the smoke. Like I mentioned, no sweat what-so-ever, and no real color change either. Will have to post an update on Christmas Eve to see if it really...
