    Pellet grill not getting as hot as it should

    From what I understand Camp Chef has pretty good customer service, I'd give them a call and see if they can help.

    When to buy???

    I've never seen Rec Tec put their grills on sale as far as shipping and tax goes, select what you want and put it in the cart, start the checkout process, fill in your shipping info it will give you your additional costs, after you have your additional costs go back to your cart and delete your...

    Thinking about downsizing....need some advice.

    Keep the Gasser, get rid of the offset and griddle. Suggest getting the Weber 26" Kettle instead of the 22" to give yourself more room when cooking indirect, maybe look at adding a Slow and Sear to help with long cooks in the kettle, it's not needed but people who use them seem to really like...

    Smokey Mountain, First Smoker?

    Easy and cheap mod I would recommend is attaching the charcoal ring to the charcoal grate so you can pick it up as one piece and shake it out, I used 4 stainless steel hose clamps, my favorite mod was adding a lid hinge.

    Selling smoker, clean / de-grease before selling?

    Sold a WSM earlier this year, cleaned up the outside and the grates, the water pan was never used so I didn't need to clean it but would have if it needed it. Left the seasoning on the inside of the smoker and explained to the prospective buyer why I left it, WSM's cook more consistently well...

    WSM Temps

    Used to own a WSM 18.5, the Dome Thermo could read anywhere from -25 to -50 off depending on the day, sometimes I would cook directly over the coals without a diffuser in place, it seemed to read more accurately for whatever reason when cooking without a diffuser. There just came a time when I...

    Question about Traeger/Pellet Grills

    If you want a do it all pellet grill you need something with a direct sear option, especially when it comes to Burgers and Steaks. Okiefisher's Englander can do it all, it's basically a copy of a FE PG500 minus the SS construction and a slightly less sophisticated controller and a couple of...

    Best Charcoal Grill

    What is your price point? Weber kettles are great, PK Grills and Hasty Bakes are awesome too but more pricey, if you would like a great grill that can grill and smoke the Assassin grill is an awesome choice.

    smoker suggestions?

    They'll burn charcoal sure, inefficiently, I used charcoal in my offset to get the coal bed started after that it was all sticks, a Drum or WSM is much more efficient and user friendly cooker, than some cheap big box store offset.

    smoker suggestions?

    Offsets are made to burn sticks not charcoal, you want a good charcoal cooker for under $500, look at a WSM 22.5 or build yourself a Drum Smoker. Big Poppa Smokers has a nice do DIY kit.

    Mega WSM - think it will work?

    I can't answer to what your problem is, I get even temps across my grates so much so I have a brand new ThermoWorks Smoke and haven't even pulled it out of the box yet. Been using the Tel-Tru therm to judge cooker temps and my Thermapen to check temps and tenderness.

    Want to buy my first Pellet Smoker

    I wouldn't look at BBQ comps as a good judge because of how sweet and sauced up everything is, it's sort of like looking at body building and thinking they have the perfect physic. I purchased a used Traeger to see what pellet cooking is all about, I prefer my Hunsaker Drum but the Traeger can...

    I cook on a Hunsaker Drum.

    Mega WSM - think it will work?

    I had a highly modded WSM 18.5 with a hanging kit, was originally looking at a Insulated Cabinet Smoker like the Humphrey's battle Box or Backwoods G2 Chubby, after hanging Ribs and poultry I knew I would be better off with a Gateway or Hunsaker. I'm very happy with my choice and the more I cook...

    Mega WSM - think it will work?

    Once you get to temp and you set the vents it locks in, no need for a Automatic Temperature Controller, it really is impressive as far as adjusting temps and staying at a particular temp once locked in. Just don't leave the lid open for long periods of time like when you want to wrap, pull the...
