    So torn on grill/smoker choices! Need help!

    Not to play devil's advocate here, but it is tough to say that a Kamado is going to give you an edge over and WSM.  I have been to competitions where WSMs have beaten out $15,000 Jambo Pits and others where a $50 UDS built in someone's backyard has taken top honors.  Do those that have the...

    So torn on grill/smoker choices! Need help!

    I just finished some seasonal cleaning on my GMG JB and need to do another burn test this weekend, so I will crank it to 500 and see what happens. As far as durability,  I got mine from a dealer about 4 hrs away and though they offered to build it before I took it home, I only had an SUV not a...

    So torn on grill/smoker choices! Need help!

    I have a GMG Jim Bowie and I love it.  I have done a few tweaks to it on the side to make it a little better towards my liking. It is nice to know that I can set it and forget it.  When I first got it,  I had some issues with controller but their support sent a new one out no questions asked.  I...

    Energy cost of 40" vs 30" smokers

    Your electric bill is calculated in KiloWatt per Hours (kWh).  Take the wattage and divide by 1000 to get the KiloWatts, then multiply this by the number of hours that it is running to get the total kWh.  Finally take that number and multiply it by the rate that your utility is charging you...

    Yes.  I just have to adjust the vent hood on some days but I am usually seeing +/- 10 degrees across the grate.

    New GMG Jim Bowie

    I was cleaning the smoker this weekend so I thought I would take a snapshot of how mine is set up. Note that all of the holes on the deflectors are plugged with foil.

    Are all pellets created equal?

    After a year of smoking I finally cleaned the inside of my smoker (I know I am horrible), and there was about 5 to 6 cups worth of ash in the smoker.  This was with running only Bear Mountain pellets, but I did have it up to 425 a few times to do pizzas.

    Peanut Butter Meltaways (Bear's Favorite Candy)

    Thanks Bear,  I corrected my post. My wife is really watching those points.  I have to sneak out to have some good ol' peeps as candy is not allowed in the house due to point value.

    Peanut Butter Meltaways (Bear's Favorite Candy)

    I will be trying these tomorrow.   I showed them to my wife and her only question was "How many Weight Watchers points are they?"  So I ran this through their recipe builder and got the following: If the batch makes: 26-31 servings: 5 points each 32-40 servings: 4 points each 41-56...
