    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    If you put the FireBlack on, it is really a PITA to get it off, so be certain you want to do it moving forward. I was unhappy with one of my strips I put down and it took 3x as long to take it off cleanly to redo it. I would suggest you smoke without it first and if you are not happy with the...

    Cheese

    Im doing my first ever cold cheese smoke. 2 bricks of pepper jack, 2 of cheddar bacon, 1 of med cheddar, 1 of sharp. I pulled 3 at 2hours full smoke, the other 3 are going 3 hours. Fingers crossed its a success. Smoker has been in between 60-70 the whole time.

    A Little O/T but How Do You Tell Your Grandmother Her Roasts Suck?

    Rub Rub?

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    It is said that it disrupts the air flow and that there is meant to be smoke leak for the grill to run properly. Quite honestly, the gasket doesn't seal it up 100% but it reduced it greatly, enough for me to see improvements. I would suggest it to you as I saw a better consistency on holding...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    Although it is advised against, I have used some FireBlack to create a gasket on my Camp Chef STX lid from smoke spewing at the edges. I have not had any problems and since doing it, my temps are more consistent as well. I feel I have a better smoke flavor in my cooks now as well. This is my...

    Camp Chef PG24 - Thoughts?

    I have the STX model. So far i love it. I use it once or twice a week, probably more when it warms back up. I also got the jerky rack for it which is great for maximizing cooking area. So far i really love this unit and have had no issues at all, even smoking down into the single digits outside...

    Substitute For Camp Chef Pellets

    Mark, Are you opposed only with the price of the pellets or are you displeased with the Camp Chef Pellet's performance as well? I haven't even tried the Camp Chef brand yet so i can't comment on those.

    Substitute For Camp Chef Pellets

    I started with Traeger and disliked those due to lots of dust and weak flavor. Currently working on a bag of PB competition blend. They're not bad for the price. I think ill cycle through a few brands before i settle on 1 or 2 brands. I'm running a Camp Chef Smokepro STX.

    Smoked Spatchcock and Dutchs Wicked Baked Beans

    Did a spatchcock and a batch of beans for the game. Chicken was good but not great in flavor. Decided to inject woth some garlic butter and rub on skin. Chicken was juicy and cooked perfect, just lacked some great flavor. Smoked at 250 for 2.5 hrs then up to 325 for about 40 min. The beans were...

    looking at upgrading from the pit boss

    I'm loving my Camp Chef Smokepro STX more and more with each use. That's about half your budget so the Woodwind with sear box might be up your alley. I had Pitboss for about 3 days until i returned it to get the CC. I had 100+ temp swings on the PitBoss and i just couldnt accept it.

    my new jerky racks

    Nice! I got the racks too for Xmas but yet to have used them. I'm do for some jerkey and it'll be nice having 4x the space to make more. I also want a shelf to add, maybe the front one they offer. Curious on how accurate the stock lid temp guage is? Have you tested it?

    First brisket in the pellet grill

    What brand and flavor pellets? Have you considered a Amazen tube for added smoke? I have gotten satisfactory flavor on my CampChef but not like a wood burner. I didnt go into a pellet purchase thinking i would though. As far as ash its common, but i dont see it on my food ever. Dont really pay...
