    Smokin Pro

    Congrats on the new CG. It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the various ways guys have moded their CGs. There are several CG owners here that are always willing to help.

    A question about an offset smoker modification...

    Before you drill & cut, let me tell you what I do with my ash tray. I take the cooking grates that came with the SFB & place them inside the cooking chamber. When I flip the ash tray & set it on top of the grates, there is an inch or so clearance between the edge of the ash tray & the front &...

    A question about an offset smoker modification...

    I haven't heard of anyone cutting a CG ash tray, but I have seen pics of one a guy drilled holes in on another forum. I can't locate that thread, but IIRC he drilled a row of holes across the bottom of the tray every 6" or so. He made the holes larger as moved from the SFB end to the far side.

    Which Thermometer for CG mod

    You are doing everything else from the front side, so you want your therm where you can read them without a lot of extra effort. In windy conditions, you often need to use a wall, etc behind the grill for a wind break. Rear mounted therms would be very difficult if not impossible to read then...

    BBQ wing question

    I setup my CG for indirect grilling when I do wings. I build the fire on the SFB side of the cooking chamber & start with the wings on the other side. Before I put them on I toss them with a little EVOO & dust the with rub. I'll put a foil pack of wood chips on the lit coals for smoke. As the...

    Minion Method

    I have a CG w/SFB. I use a charbroil shaker basket in the SFB. I fill about 3/4 full of unlit briquettes with a few wood chunks mixed in. I leave the front left corner empty & dump about 1/2 chimney of lit briquettes in the open space. I can hold steady cooking temp for 2.5-3+ hours depending...

    Chargriller w/ SFB Questions - Newbie with Questions!

    I use my CG for smoking as well as grilling both direct & indirect & have only had to season mine once (the first time). I have a small spay bottle I use with cooking oil. After I clean the CG from a cook. I spray the cooking grates & wipe over them with a paper towel. This keeps the grates...

    Char griller side burner help

    I have heard of several people having problem with one side of the burner collapsing on another forum. Contact Char-griller. They normally stand behind their products pretty good. http://www.chargriller.com/

    First Smoke with the Char-Griller

    Here's how I build my fire using the CharBroil shaker basket. I use briquettes & mix some chunks in. I leave the open space at the front left corner so the fire burns back against the air flow coming from the side vent. I have a generic chimney that is smaller than the Weber's a lot of people...

    Test Your BBQ Knowledge

    Good find Ron. I got 10 out of 10 with a wild a$$ guess on the finger meat one. I have never heard that term before. I picked NC on pig pickin' question because I know those are native to the southeast.

    Char-Griller Smoker/Grill

    Congrats Dave. I also have a CG. It will work as is out of the box, but a few mods will really enhance its performance. First, be sure you have some way of measuring temp at cooking grate level. The hood therm that comes on the CG is unreliable. You can buy dial therms & mount them like in the...

    Roll Tide!!

    I've never been one to be happy with moral victories on the gridiron & I am not happy with coming up short against the bammers. I am proud of how our very thin & overmatched defense stepped up to the challenge of Ingram & a very talented offense. In the end, we could not come up with a play...

    Spare Ribs - Mustard

    I always slather my ribs with plain ole yellow mustard. The mustard flavor cooks away, but you do get saltiness from the mustard. If your rub has a lot of salt, you may want to cut it in half when you use a mustard slather.

    Frying Turkey

    Done properly, frying a turkey is no more dangerous than any other form of cooking with open flame or fire. As has been mentioned before, place the turkey in the fryer & cover with water to get the proper amount of oil & prevent boiling over. Be sure to sit the turkey upright afterwards so the...

    Horizontal Smoker

    I had a SNP for over 10 years & cooked a lot of good stuff on it. When it came time to replace it, I went for a Char-Griller with SFB. The quality of construction was similar. Since I use my horizontals for both grilliing & smoking there were a few features that made we go with the CG. I...
