    Smoked Chicken Wings

    Gotcha. Thanks MH! I now rely on my trusty thermometer but sometimes find myself second guessing as I am new to cooking with one. I'm slowly tearing myself away from the "just bite into it and see if it's cooked" methodology :)

    Smoked Chicken Wings

    I'm a bit late to this party but I was curious as to why the OP smoked his wings for 5 hours. When I do wings, they are done in under two hours at around 225. Am I eating tasty, undercooked chicken?

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    Thanks for the suggestion SoonerSmoker and I'm glad that you've been learning from this as well. The people here have been really helpful and friendly. I love it! I never knew that grilling/smoking could be so much fun and isn't something for experts only :)

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    Hey guys, I'm totally loving my new chargriller and all the information ya'll have given me is awesome! A few more questions please: 1. Do you guys clean your grill after every smoke? 2. What's the best way to clean the grates? I tried not cleaning the grates after I cooked but the next...

    Wood chunks are raising my temps?

    I've always thought the flare up from the wood chunks/chips was normal. What is everyone else doing to avoid this? I find it hard to believe that most people are using foil or a smokebox.

    I like that setup. Seems like it's easy enough for me to do as I am not a fab type of guy. Where'd you get the rods and how long are they?

    Best Thermometer

    Exactly which model thermometer did you guys get? And does this just go where the old therm went (i have a chargriller pro)? I see there are different numbers next to the therms like 100/475, can someone please tell me what that means? Thanks.

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    Ok guys, I'm on my second attempt to smoke some baby backs and things are looking much better this time around. I am using a Maverick ET-73 and omg, it says 225 degrees while the temp gauge on my smoker says 150. I think I may have seriously overcooked my last batch. Regardless, I have a few...

    Thanks MH. What did you do to make it fit? I was under the impression that the basket didn't need any modification.

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    1. I did put the charcoal in in the correct direction. I didn't use a charcoal basket but will look into getting one. 2. I did remove the membrane from the ribs. 3. I didn't use the 3-2-1 method because this was my first time smoking ribs and I wanted to be able to compare ribs done the...

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    Gorilla, I was using the stock charcoal grate, not a basket. I'm not a fab type of guy so I haven't tried making one and I bought the grill basket from Lowes as suggested but couldn't figure out how to get it to fit. Regardless, my first smoke is complete. My chicken came out wonderful after...

    Thank you gorilla. I have opened the chimney all the way. I still am having trouble keeping my temp up. Can someone please answer the questions in my previous post? I appreciate all your help!

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    Ha ha, not yet MH :) Guys, I need some quick help. I just started my first smoke and I added lump to the side firebox with a few chunks of hickory, but I can't seem to get the temp above 175 (stock thermo). I added about two more unlit chimney's full of lump but it still hasn't raised. I've...

    Smoking Burgers and Steaks.

    I will be using a horizontal griller and I think I'll try to smoke the burgers. As for my steaks, I'll save em for next time and grill em hot and fast like I like em. How long should I smoke the burgers for by the way? Thanks guys!

    Smoking Burgers and Steaks.

    I've never smoked before but I just bought some chicken thighs and ribs so that I can try it out tomorrow. I also have some burgers and steaks, but I was not sure if these are good to smoke or just go ahead and grill them. Do smoked burgers and steaks come out well?

    Chargriller Smokin Pro Newbie ?'s

    This is great information! I have another question: After I grilled last time, I just left all the food on the grates. Is this what everyone usually does or do you clean it off? If so, what is a good method? Is a wire brush safe to use on cast iron?

    Can anyone recommend a good meat thermometer that I can order? I'd hate to burn up my first smoke :) Thanks for the info JonD. I keep hearing about these fatties and I am dying to try one (or should I say trying to die from one, LOL).

    Thanks Kratz, I've already done the 5 day course and been lurking the forums for about two weeks. I'm going to try his rub/sauce recipe after I give the ol' pit a good workout this weekend. I appreciate it!
