    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    While I have never tried cooking two pork butts on my RT590, I can tell you that every grill, ever outdoor cooker that I have, with the exception of the Otto Wilde and the Camp Chef stove to the right of the Kamado Joe, has hot spots. I am very likely not alone in this assessment. I have...

    Yes, I like using the dust to smoke food with.

    After my Kamado Joe arrived damaged twice....

    I have a 22in WSM and a Kamado Joe Classic I which is 18in. When it comes to ceramics, they trap heat a lot better than do the metal cookers. This can be a consideration in cooler climates. Both the WSM and th KJ are versatile. Pros for the KJ and Ceramics, you can grill, smoke, sear and...

    Making dust from pellets...

    Same here. If I want a coarse dust, I just run it in the blender with short bursts and make the dust as course or as fine as I want.

    What's the point of an offset smoker?

    Hi Milberry. The trick is really in lighting it and in using a good quality charcoal. I have used a coffee can as described in my prior post, I have also used a piece ofgalvvnized ductwork, which I really cannot recommend, because of the zinc in galvanized metals. But the trick is in...

    I agree. Ground up pellets in the tube has worked out great for me.

    The “Heavy D” Stick Burning Heat Diffuser or Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator

    I have had experience with the Heavy D. And I could not agree with forum member RC Alan more when he says: “ ... In my honest opinion, the SD Wood Burning Heat Diffuser, is great as a heat diffuser, but very difficult to manage and control temps with while burning wood in it.. I only use it...

    What's the point of an offset smoker?

    Good points. I use the following method which is similar to what you describe. However I prefer a good hardwood lump charcoal over briquettes. I don't care for the taste of food cooked over some briquettes. I set my wood this way. 3 or 4 split logs and sometimes even a few chunks too. I...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    I would encourage you to do some research on air leaks with regard to Vision kamados as a practical part of making your purchasing decision. Good luck.

    Pellet smoker advice

    I think it was Memphis Grills. Google "Memphis grills china" and see what you come up with. Also: https://memphisgrills.com/faqs/ "Your Memphis grill is still designed, engineered and tested in the USA (Bloomington, MN); however, due to continued growth and the need for greater production...

    Pellet smoker advice

    Exactly. The whole "made in America" thing is in many instances, nothing more than marketing hype. If every single item on the circuit board of any electronic item, every wire, every screw, washer nut and bolt, every caster made with plastic manufactured in the U.S., it's a rarity. And even...

    BBQ guru WSM 22.5

    Thanks. I feel that just as important as saying "that" you do something, is stating just "why" you do it. From there, the reader can decide: 1. If it makes sense/is logical. 2. If it is practical for them or applies to them. If it fails the first test, well then no need to consider the...

    BBQ guru WSM 22.5

    First, let me say that shutting the damper down on his fan, may help him. However it may not. In the event that it does not, well then I am advocating that he use a cleaner, hotter burning charcoal, use water or sand in his pan. Finally, I'm advocating that he run his Guru fan with it's...

    BBQ guru WSM 22.5

    Using the following methods, of my cookers, only my PID controlled Rec Tec RT 590 is capable of running tighter and more consistent temperatures than my WSM. My Rec Tec can hold temps for as long as it has pellets in it to within plus or minus 5 degrees of it's set point. I have gotten to...

    Which Pellet Grill to Buy?

    What some who have stick burners or Kamados plus pellet grills do for long cooks such as brisket and pork shoulder, is start them on the stick burner or Kamado, and then put them on the pellet grill to finish them off while they sleep.
