    Pellet grill issue

    What did you have the smoke level set at? The higher you set it, the wider your temp swings will be.

    Yea ir nah on campchef woidwidwifi 24

    Maybe take a look at the Camp Chef XXL. It's a vertical smoker, not a combo grill/smoker. I have one (as well as a Camp Chef SmokePro DLX) and I really like it. Huge capacity inside. I actually bought two more racks for it, too. The metal is kinda thin but I have the insulated blanket for...

    FLEA INFESTATION!

    I stick with Frontline on all my dogs. I’m down to just one dog now but she’s a sporting dog and by next month we’ll be in the brush a lot. Occasionally after a hunt I’ll find a couple ticks on her but whatever I don’t see will die pretty quickly. Never had a flea issue using the Frontline. Are...

    Camp Chef BBQ Box for Sidekick

    That is the CC Deluxe BBQ box. It will work perfectly with your Sidekick. Just remember to remove the grid from the Sidekick before you put the grill box on, and watch your heat levels that you don't overdo it and warp or crack the grill grates.

    Grilling Ny steak strip

    Anything over 130 is a Crime Against Meat!! :emoji_laughing: I like mine very rare so usually pull around 120-122 and rest for a for minutes.

    Looking for banana pepper ideas

    If you like hot stuff... We always called these Sanza Peppers, named for the village in Italy where our family came from. My Dad would make these every year. Take your hot banana peppers and (while wearing gloves!) wipe them clean with a dry paper towel. Open a slit longways down the side of...

    Another Father's Day Feast (with Q-View - Pics!)

    Had the family and some close friends over for Father's Day. I like to put on a big cook every year for Dad's Day and this one was kind of special because it was my first one as a new Grandpa. Started out with some Stromboli in my Camp Chef pizza oven - My own recipe pizza sauce, pepperoni...

    ThermoWorks Customer Service 👍

    Just wanted to pass on a great experience I just had with ThermoWorks. I’ve owned a Smoke unit and the WiFi bridge for a long time. I have a few other products of theirs too. A short time ago I broke the plastic kickstand on my Smoke. Tried a few times time glue it together, tried UV welding...

    BBQ Snobbery

    That’s a great idea. I’ll have to see if I can find one to fit my drill batteries!:emoji_sunglasses:

    BBQ Snobbery

    Well, I gave in and when the wife asked me what I wanted for Father's Day I told her I wanted a charcoal kettle so I could compete. I caught a 10% off sale at Slow N Sear for their kettle with the insert. I'll have to find out if I can use a digital temp controller fan for the contest. Have...

    Hi Everyone

    Welcome from a fellow resident of the Peoples Republik of New York! There is some decent barbecue to be found but the best will always be what you make yourself. :emoji_sunglasses:

    Bison Fail

    I think this is probably a situation where you need to set aside the 321 or 311 formula and rely heavily on your temp probes and instant-read thermometer. I'm wondering if a brine might've helped get some moisture into those ribs? Unusual for ribs, but if there's enough meat on them maybe an...

    Father's Day....

    I'll be smoking 4 racks of babybacks, 10lbs of wings, a big pan of queso dip and some hot dog burnt ends. We'll also have my wife's coleslaw and I'm doing a double batch of corn soufflé. Going to put a couple strombolis in the pizza oven, too. No one should leave here hungry! :emoji_smile: My...

    Tenderloin strips

    Those cuts are awfully big for tenderloin. Are they loin (backstrap) cuts? I always see folks mistakenly call the backstrap tenderloin rather than loin. The tenderloins on a deer are two small strips that sit inside the cavity just inside the thighs. Anyways, your cook looks awesome!

    Fat side up or down brisket

    Always fat down on a pellet smoker. That doesn't free you from the task of trimming it though, but the fat you leave on will act as somewhat of a "shield" from the hotspot right over the burn pot. It's a myth that the fatcap will render down into the meat.

    BBQ Snobbery

    Been there, done that. Just too much work constantly tending the fire and the vents. I even got tired of constantly tending the gasser, too. As I’m getting older I just appreciate the ease of the pellet smoker. Gives me more time to focus on my recipes.

    BBQ Snobbery

    Funny, I just told my wife that I was thinking of buying a cheap kettle and competing. I had a few other choice words too but I’ll leave at this lol

    BBQ Snobbery

    Yeah I know it’s not unusual but it still stinks.

    BBQ Snobbery

    That may be the case but it doesn’t explain the rules on propane.
