    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

    Well here is what I came up with for this smoke. Haha. Very jury rigged but I'm hoping it works. Doesn't fit perfectly but it's going to have to do. I'm not a fan of the lower height of the barrel smoker coming from a vertical smoker. It's going to take some adjusting of my thinking.

    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

    Has anyone here tested the accuracy of the meat probes that comes with the grill? I'm planning to use the factory probe and also an independent probe that has been reliable for me in the past for my first smoke. Also has anyone come up with a clever way to get a rack over the top of your food so...

    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

    Thanks RC for all the great info. Just going to do the first smoke with kingsford briquettes and planning to add a few chunks of mesquite to the hopper. I'm a little fearful of putting the wood in the pan with the stories of people burning up their flap. A competition guy on you tube said he...

    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

I did the initial burn in tonight and let it cool down and I'm currently on my second seasoning. Hoping to...

    Stuffed Burgers - Jalapenos and Hickory!

    Holy smokes. That looks amazing. I just got word from Lowe's that my new smoker is in. That might have to be one of my first smoke in the new smoker.

    First attempt at pulled pork

    Agreed Irlangly. I was getting a little frustrated since I had to change dinner plans, but it worked out and now I'm a little smarter.

    First attempt at pulled pork

    Wow. Thanks for sharing this. I have a lot to learn also. It's nice to know that it wasn't somehow what I was doing as much as it is just the process.

    First attempt at pulled pork

    Thanks AK1. I'm glad to know I wasn't doing something wrong. When I studied the posts here on making pulled pork people were saying it should take about 1.5 hours per pound so i was figuring about 12 hours for my 8 lbs pork butt. Thanks for the input. Tom

    First attempt at pulled pork

    Well since we delayed eating the pulled pork til today we invited some friends over to enjoy it with us. Everyone thought it was great. I'm learning the value of patience when it comes to cooking in a smoker. Never cooked anything that took 15 hours to cook but it was worth it.

    Well here it is 16 plus hours later and it's cooked and pulled. It tastes amazing and is moist and pulled extremely easy. Rubbed down with Jeff's original rub. 12 hours in the smoker and 3 plus more in the oven and she got there. Bone practically fell out on its own Here is the final...
