Char-Griller Smokin Pro with firebox- Mods
Thanks for the info. Will have to look into something like that. Oh, and I meant to add a pic showing my foil baffle I made for this last smoke. Worked great and all but eliminated the hot end next to the fire box. Worked far better than I would have imagined.- porkbutt

Ok, ya'll talked me into it. I'm going to try the Rancher. It's a good idea to have a back-up or two since the stores sometimes run out of stuff around here.- porkbutt

first time since I joined
Yeah, my results have really improved since I found this forum. Tons and tons of good information and the Q-view makes my mouth water! Just wanted to throw in another thumbs up for the forum and all the great people here. -
Smoked butt and bb's: Q-view!
Yes, this site/forum is awesome. And thanks to all for the kind words. As happy as I was with yesterday's smoke, I'm already seeing things I can do different next time to get better results. I love this smokin' meat thing. Can't believe I waited this long to get into it. I knew I was hooked... -
Need help identifying big cooker...
I'm not even sure I want it. Would probably have to be a killer deal since I know nothing about it. As some have said, it may not even work right. May be why the bbq joint went under... Unless they give me a smokin' price, pun intended, I will likely just pass on it and choose between Lang and...- porkbutt

Charcoal preference
I started out with Original Charcoal Company brand lump from Ingles grocery store. It popped and zinged out sparks like fireworks. Also made lots of flying ash. I tried Royal Oak from Wal-Mart today and was MUCH happier with it. I won't be buying any more OCC lump. Until I have a problem with...- porkbutt

Smoked butt and bb's: Q-view!
Meant to say, I'll post pics of the butt as soon as it has rested and I unfoil it. It is in foil and towels in the microwave now with about 30 minutes to go... Ok, here is the butt. Finally, pullable pork!!! LOL -
Smoked butt and bb's: Q-view!
Just sharin' the Q-view from today's smoke. Done my first smoked ribs and finally smoked instead of roasting a butt, thanks to accurate temp readings from the grate level as opposed to the factory in-lid thermo which read WAY low. Anyway, on with the Q-view... The 9+ lb butt and the bb's all... -
Another newbie...
Normally I do keep it wide open but on that cook at that particular time I had to slow the fire down. Was too hot even with the fire box intake vent close down all the way. -

My first batch of ABT's and fatties... w/Q-view!
I may try to come up with something besides peppers to make something similar for my wife. I'm going to experiment with other milder, sweeter peppers too. The wife said the jalapeno peppers I got were too hot for her. Maybe some sweet banana peppers would work better for her. She loved the... -
New thermo yesterday- I love it
My local Lowes had the OS yesterday for $26 and change. Had two displays almost full of them. Will have to watch for them to go on sale for the cheaper price! Would have bought one or two if they had been $13!- porkbutt

My first batch of ABT's and fatties... w/Q-view!
Thanks fellas! And I'm glad I got my biggest issues worked out too. I already want a bigger smoker made out of real steel. Went from a Weber kettle rigged for smokin' to this... and it's already getting small. I can see a batch of ABT's goin' on every time I fire up now! Now, Lang 60/84 or... -
Need help identifying big cooker...
I wondered if it wasn't a custom. Would definitely have to see it closer before I bought it. I was just trying to research before talking money if I could. Depending on how much they want for it it may not matter. I was already looking at a Lang or a Diamond Plate on a trailer. If his asking...- porkbutt

Char-Griller Smokin Pro with firebox- Mods
Ok, I checked the factory lid mounted thermo against my Pyrex Professional digital and my turkey fryer dial thermo on this evening's smoke and found that the factory thermo is a bigger piece of crap than I ever would have imagined. I took pics of each thermo, shot within seconds of each other so...- porkbutt

Another newbie...
As for the huge issue with the Char Griller...I cooked my first batch of ABT's and fatties and used two thermometers besides the factory lid mounted one. I found that the factory thermostat is around 100* off (reads that much lower than actual cooking temps at the grate level) at +/- 230*... -
My first batch of ABT's and fatties... w/Q-view!
Ok, I smoked my first batch of ABT's and my first two fatties this evening and now I see why ABT's are called BBQ-crack!!! Man, these things are some of the best eatin' I've had in a WHILE! I kept 'em simple and didn't season the cream cheese for this batch but I can't wait to experiment with... -
Another newbie...
Thanks for all the love. Just finished my first ABT's and fatties. About to post up Q-view in the Pork forum. Worked out my huge issue with the Char Griller too. Now if it were only made of thicker metal... -
Need help identifying big cooker...
I need help identifying a big wood cooker that I am trying to maybe purchase if the price is right. Found it in the back of a restaurant that isn't a bbq joint anymore and am trying to get a price on it from the owners of the place that bought it from the bbq guy. Here's what I can give you to...- porkbutt

Never Cooked a Fatty
Looking forward to doing my first couple fatties this weekend or Monday as well. I can't wait. Wish I had known about them a long time ago! Also doing my first ABT's as well, along with a 10lb butt and a rack of bb's.
