    Used Big Green Egg.. Am I screwed?

    That's the JB Weld I'm talking about. Should have been more specific. My local ACE usually has it on-hand.

    Used Big Green Egg.. Am I screwed?

    The BGE firebox also has a lifetime warranty. Take it by any authorized dealer and they'll exchange it for a new one if you don't want to fuss with the repair.

    Have y'all heard of the "MEATER"?

    I am a backer of the project and get updates on a regular basis. The single probe version is almost ready for shipping. The Meater Block (4 probes complete with WiFi base) won't be ready until later this year. Delays did manifest themselves due to design changes in early prototypes to increase...

    Mixing meat and sides? And some other questions.

    Wood is very subjective. My wife does not like heavily smoked meats, so when I'm cooking for us I use milder woods (pecan, apple, peach, cherry). When I cook for me I use Hickory and mesquite because I like a full bodied smoke in my meat. You need to find what you and the wife like and go from...

    Which temp controller for WSM 18.5

    First check for leaks., It sounds like you're getting air from somewhere other than the fan. Second, where are you putting your temp prob for the Guru? Are you using a second prob from an independent measuring source to verify the temp you're reading? I used a 733 to compare pit temps for the...

    Killen's in Pearland

    I ate there a few years ago while visiting friends in Pasadena. I had beef ribs, brisket, beans and corn bread. Everything was delicious. The brisket was a tad bit dry but we got there late in the afternoon, so I figure I was getting leftovers. All-in-all it was worth the money. Don't pass up...

    Homemade Stoker DIY

    Slick! Very Slick, Kaveman. Have you had a chance to see how closely it holds temperature? I could see using the controller  to run a defunct MES unit I have out in the barn. At about 1/5 the price of a Aubriens PID it might be a fun project. Certainly can't be any worse than the MB controller..

    Easy light charcoal/lighter fluid questions

    Please do not use that easy lite crap. It is concentrated evil. Throw that stuff away and swear to never buy that stuff again. Clean the pit or build a really hot wood or charcoal fire and burn any residue off. Get a chimney and do it right. Don't start off with bad habits and expect to produce...

    Elusive smoke ring.

    Ain't science wonderful? Glad I could get you on the right track. Now knock us out with your next brisket and that super "smoke ring". Make sure you read the rest of his stuff, it's good stuff.

    Masterbuilt 20070910 - I'm an Idiot! (But please help me)

    @LondonSmoker There is a thermal fuse located in the unit that you should check. If that fuse blew it MUST be replaced before the smoker will operate. On that model, I believe that it is located on the back left upper wall of the smoker as you look into the smoker from the front. If it is open...

    Masterbuilt 20070910 - I'm an Idiot! (But please help me)

    I can safely say that the controller is gone. The heating element MAY not have been damaged but it's a crap shoot at this point. I'd plan on a new controller and element AND inspect all the wiring and sensors in the unit to be on the safe side.

    Dry ribs please help

    Short answer: 3-2-1 is a method of cooking St. Louis style (spare) ribs. 3 hours naked, 2 hours wrapped, 1 hour naked @ 225 2-2-1 is for baby back ribs. Again 2 hours naked, 2 hours wrapped and 1 hour naked @ 225. They are well documented methods and are discussed in great detail on the site.

    Simple DIY charcoal basket

    I hope you bought an extra one. That basket will last about 4-6 months before it's burned through, if you cook once a week. But it is a pretty slick hack for a quick and dirty charcoal basket!
