    Charcoal Stacking

    I have the KJ removable fire basket, so changing charcoal is a breeze. If I am doing a long low temp cook, I always start with a full basket of new lump. I keep a metal can and put my used lump in it for use with regular cooks. If I am doing just a higher time short cook like chicken, or burgers...

    My First Cast Iron Skillet Cook....and not the last one either! (Heavy Qview)

    Great looking meal, just be aware CI doesn't really like acidic foods, like tomato sauce.

    Flat Top Questions

    I have the Camp Chef 600 and I use it on my deck. I have a large fire proof mat under it and the spatter isn't really a problem for me. I love the griddle and it's like getting 2 grills in one. Remove the griddle top and you have a regular gas grill underneath. For my family it's the perfect...

    Storing bags of pellets

    The Kingsford Caddy's work well, so will plastic containers. You can store the bags in your garage as long as you keep them off the floor. I have most of mine in the original bags stacked on a pallet, on my garage floor. I also have about 5 large airtight plastic containers and 1 KC that I use...

    Shopping again

    As stated everyone has their opinions on the best PG. Where do you live, is cold weather cooking something your will be doing? Be aware that the Yoder, while an excellent grill, will require more maintenance than the RT, or CC. Yoder just paints the outside, not powder coated, so you will...

    Anyone able to ID this Kamado?

    Lowes has the Kamado Joe Classic Gen 1 for $749 out the door. Hard deal to beat.

    New Kamado on the Market

    Looks like they picked up the old discontinued Bubba Keg grill and started reproducing it with their name.

    Charcoal Stacking

    Actually for long low temp cooks I always remove the old lump and start with all new. I have a basket on my BJ and it's easy to just dump the old lump into a container for later use and start with fresh. I reuse the old lump for high temp cooks, so I am not really wasting it. I have found better...

He is home now and yesterday his numbers were good enough to finally remove the feeding tube. I wanted to thank everyone for...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    One thing I will say about pellet grills is they all work exactly the same, it doesn't matter if you pay $$, or $$$$, they work the same way. There is a hopper for the pellets, an auger for delivering the pellets to the fire pot and a controller to tell the auger how many pellets to deliver...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Yep, they haven't changed a thing. Like I said this was the reason I went with the KJ.

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    I have had a KJ Big Joe for several years now and I couldn't be happier with it. I went through the same BGE, or KJ you are going through now when I was deciding on my purchase. They will both make great food and it comes down to the little things. I don't know if it is still this way but the...

    My IPT pellet smoker just died

    Is the IPT grill the one with a front hopper setup? If so, Smokin Brothers https://smokinbrothers.com/products/american-made-wood-pellet-grills-premier/ has the same type grill. You could contact them and see if they can help.

    Looking for a new smoker

    If all you want is a pellet grill for smoking then the Copperhead would be hard to beat for the price.

    Weber SmokeFire pellets. Anyone tried?

    I haven't seen the Weber pellets around here yet. Mike the apple and Mesquite are both great, I use them all the time. I love the Mesquite with beef.

    In the market for a grill

    Check out the new Weber Smokefire grill. For doing both grilling and smoking it looks like the one to get.

    Brisket in Kamodo?

    I also have a KJ Big Joe and I have smoked many briskets on it. The secret with smoking at low temps in a Kamado type grill is to start a very small fire initially. I completely fill the bottom and only start a fire with one fire starter cube in the very center. Let your temps come up to about...

    Kingsford or RO briquettes in Akorn?

    I always used lump charcoal in my Akorn, it burns better and leaves a lot less ash behind.

    oven cleaner on pellet smoker

    Bingo, if you didn't clean out the auger before you sprayed the cleaner inside your grill. If you didn't, that is most likely your problem. You can clean the auger out but it's a long difficult process. Pellets turn into an almost concrete like product when they get wet in a confined space, you...
