    Best paint for a Charcoal Grill?

    I recently purchased a Master Forge Smoker from Lowe's and after the curing process, part of it looked to be rusted due to the high heat (some of the charcoal and fluid caught fire and it spread to the outside of the smoker, which I did extinguish). I was wondering, since the smoker has rust on...

    Cooking ribs on an Old Smokey Electric Smoker

    I'm thinking about getting an Old Smokey Electric Smoker and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to cook pork ribs and beef ribs on it. I didn't see any rib recipes on their website or on their manual downloads.  If anyone can help me, thank you.

    Would a Smokenator work in an Old Smokey Grill?

    They have expanded their line. The 180 fits 18.5 inch Weber Grills, and the 2600 fits the Weber 26.75 inch grill.

    Would a Smokenator work in an Old Smokey Grill?

    I notice that the Smokenator 1000 will work in Weber Grills but I was wondering if it (along with the Hovergrill attachment) would work on an Old Smokey 18" Grill or an Old Smokey 22" Grill?

    How to season stainless steel grill grates

    Mine isn't a smoker, it's a RiverGrille made by Rankam that is built similar to a Char-Griller grill. So all you have to do is put vegetable oil on the inside of the grill, light the coals, let it cool, and then when it's time to cook, wash the stainless steel grates, put vegetable oil or...

    What type of hinged grates can fit in a 22", 18", and 14" Old Smokey Grill?

    I had thought about getting an Old Smokey grill for Christmas and I showed my sister one at Lowe's.  She said it looked like it could be a good grill except for one problem. The Grill Grates that you put the food on (be it the 22" [which was available at Lowe's], the 18", or the 14", are not...

    Anything better than soup cans available for a grease cup for a charcoal grill?

    Are there any universal grease cups that can fit either a Char-Griller Charcoal grill (like my brother in law has) or a RiverGrille/Kingsford/Rankam grill like I have (received for a Christmas gift)? They recommend using either a soda pop can (which is thin and the grease can go through it...

    Old Smokey Thermometer (Temperature Gauge) Installation Help (leaning towards the 3" model)

    I need some help in installing a thermometer (preferably a 3" one) for an Old Smokey 22" Jumbo Grill that I got for a Christmas gift. My father, who has Parkinson's Disease, gave me $50, to get what I wanted for Christmas, and I wanted a grill. After searching high and low for different grills...

    Old Smokey #22

    I decided to get the 22" Old Smokey Charcoal Grill for a Christmas gift. You are saying that a Weber 22.5" grill grate, be it the standard, the hinged where part of the grate can be lifted to put in more charcoal, or the gourmet hinge, where it has a removeable 12" circle to add more charcoal or...

SNPP), Char-Broil Silver Smoker, Char-Broil American Gourmet, and especially...

    Use of briquets or lump charcoal in electric smokers?

    I was wondering if charcoal briquets or lump charcoal can be used in electric smokers along with the smoking wood? I know they can't in the Brinkmann Electric Smoker because they use lava rock, but can they be used in smokers like the MES, Smoky Mountain Series by Landmann, or Char-Broil...

    Thinking between Brinkmann Gourmet, Char-Broil, Little Chief, Big Chief, and Old Smokey Electric Smo

    As much as I would like to get the Masterbuilt Electric Smokers or the Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker Grill, due to my fixed income and my father's Parkinson's disease, I would like to know out of these smokers would make a great birthday present. I like charcoal but I'm safety conscious and...

    Pics of Backyard Traditions Smokers at Fred's Super Dollar Stores: A cross between the ECB and the W

    In other words, avoid this like the plague, correct? Maybe I can save up for a WSM or Masterbuilt, but right now I'm leaning towards either a ECB (which I can convert into an electric with an Electric Smokehouse Kit), a Master Forge Smoker, the Char Broil electric smoker, a Landmann smoker, an...

    Pics of Backyard Traditions Smokers at Fred's Super Dollar Stores: A cross between the ECB and the W

    I was thinking that during the seasoning process, the mercury could be burned off inside the smoker but it would probably still be on the outside, correct? Also, I think the order of putting the grates and bowls in the smoker are as follows: small grate, charcoal bowl, water bowl and large...
