    Is the Akorn a worthy purchase/upgrade if I already have a Gravity 1050?

    Exactly. I get the same. So I typically don't run a full hopper, especially when I'm getting close to the end of a cook. Would you say flavor is the same on your assassin as in your offset? Just easier to run the GF?

    Is the Akorn a worthy purchase/upgrade if I already have a Gravity 1050?

    I've heard the cleaned smoke idea too. I think its less "cleaned" and more "burned more completely" leaving less compounds that make it into your food. I'm honestly not 100% sure about the physics of it all. I think the best way for smoke flavor from a GF smoker (which flavor can be amazing...

    Is the Akorn a worthy purchase/upgrade if I already have a Gravity 1050?

    I have a 1050, a KJ classic and KJ jr. I freakin love the kamado. As far as efficiency goes, it really can't be beat. Use minimal charcoal, it retains heat like nothing else. Smoke flavor will not be close to your gravity fed smoker. Or even your pellet grill for that matter. I use the kamados...

    Rotisserie Turkey

    You prob don't even need that...just a piece of square steel that fits into the motor. Just looked it up...home depot sells one that looks like it will fit. 36 inches...$11.60. If you need longer than that keep looking. If you need new spikes...they are cheep on amazon!!

    Heading Back To KY

    There are actually a few legal things there. What happens in Vegas....sometimes requires a designated driver. Or antibiotics. Or both.

    Tri Tip Like a Brisket

    We get them here too. I'll do 2-3 Tri Tips a month. My 9 year old has a taste for them now!! I've never done one like a brisket, because I typically only do one at a time and I don't want to run the smoker on such a little piece of meat for so long. I do them hot and fast ~400F for typically a...

    is butterball better?

    Ditto this :emoji_point_up:. I'm a wet brine guy myself which is a pain in the butt....however, totally worth it. If you brined a butterball and a store brand both and then served them, it would probably be hard to tell the difference. Alton Brown did a special on in-oven thanksgiving turkey...

    How to smoke a turkey on offset

    So that's a dry brine, and it'll taste great with that! I'd put the salt on a day earlier, let it sit in the fridge, rinse the salt off after that day, then put it in the fridge for a day or two without the salt and let it dry. Then put the rest of the seasoning on just before it goes in the...

    How to smoke a turkey on offset

    Leave the turkey in the fridge uncovered for 24-48 hours before smoking it.

    First time smoking beef rib and would like advice

    Dino bones!! You'll love them! A lot of guys have more experience than me, but I'd say salt and pepper only (maybe add a little Lawry's if you like it) and run them 250-275F until probe tender. If you've never had them you're in for a treat!!

    Advice on Choosing Affordable Health Plan

    This is likely the best option assuming you don't use your insurance that often. Like others have said, watch the drug costs. Assuming you don't take a lot of routine medication (again, you don't use your insurance that often) then the lower premiums tend to result in lower overall cost. But...

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    Maybe I'll assemble it and try it. Can always modify things later.

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    ...of course, as I think of it now, there always is risk to using something in a way it wasn't designed for. Think the flavor/product would be the same with just a charcoal bed and splits?

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    Plan was to weld half a air tank in place of where the fire box is....with some other modifications. If the whole thing gets screwed up, I'm out $300 and a few hours of time which sucks but I've enough other kinds of grills, but not a sick burner. Its currently unassembled in a box. So its...

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    That's the perfect way to put it! I'd do the same thing if I had the time to tinker with things. I decided to buy this...so its in the truck. I think it'll need a whole new firebox. Like you said, its not really a stick burner per se. We'll see if we can't fix that.

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    Project for sure. I'm no offset expert, but I can tell you right now the fire box isn't deep enough. Didn't know about the paint, but that should be fixable too. Think I'll probably put a Tru-Tell on it as well.
