    Black butts. Not what you think.

    I spent 3 1/2 years on Guam. Family had a charter boat. It was standard to go out and catch 1k of Yellow Fin tuna, 600-700 pods of Mahi, 400-500 pods of Wahoo. I ate good back then.

    I stand corrected. The light and type of wood has a great effect on pictures. Another bit of info I have learned from here.

    Black butts. Not what you think.

    That's what In talking about. I keep seeing pictures of smokes that are charred black and people praising the results. I dont get it. Black char is a failure in my opinion. Black char is a failure to monitor proper temp and hitting spikes or consiatant high temps.

    I beg to differ. I understand bark but look at alot of cooks, its black. That's burnt, not good bark.

    Maybe it's just me but I see alot of cooks where butts are completely black on the outside. I dont understand that. The pic below is a 13hr smoke. Not burnt black, fall apart tender.

    GMG fix.

Dealt w customer service and they kept sending me parts quickly. Upgraded it to wifi, did 3 motherboards and 2 ignightors. All through email. I called and...

    GMG issues.

    Now I'm getting pissed off. Replaced the ignitor and the grill wont get above room temp for startup. Keeps dumping pellets into the hopper. Clean it out and every 10 seconds it dumps more. The entire control panel and ignitor have been replaced. Contacted CS...again. See what they say.

    GMG issues.

    Ya, I've had 2 issues w/ mine. I thought my 1st was my own mouth breathing misunderstanding on how to work the grill. They stood tall and replaced the motherbored. Wifi upgrade for free. Great CS. The second issue, fail notice. I just replaced the ignitor tonight so we'll see how it goes...
