    BBQ Snobbery

    I didn’t yet, but I know the guy running it and I’ll probably see him this weekend and find out why. But I’ve noticed this is a common rule in competitions and I can’t understand why.

    BBQ Snobbery

    I’m a little bummed and annoyed. A local volunteer fire department here is having a BBQ Competition this fall and I just found out that they’re only allowing wood and charcoal burners to compete. No gas and no pellets (electric). This isn’t a “sanctioned “ event and they only have two...

    Pellet Smokers Mood Swing?

    Understand that ALL pellet cookers have temp swings. They have to do this in order to generate smoke. The auger feeds a certain amount of pellets which are ignited and burn for a bit which causes the temp to rise, then the hot rod cools off and the pellets smolder, making smoke. This cause the...

    cleaning the temp probe

    I use the alcohol wipes, too. Works great. Key is clean it either before or after each cook.

    Trying to choose smoker for husband. Is it worth waiting for Memorial Day or Father's Day sales?

    I’m another Camp Chef fan. I bought my first pellet grill on Amazon, a Camp Chef Smoke Pro DLX and I haven’t looked back. I have all the extras that I’ve added over time, the front shelf and the Sidekick with the griddle, bbq box and the pizza oven. I liked it so much that I gave my big vertical...

    Big weekend in the Catskills and an amazing happy BBQ accident! Lots of pics and Q-Vue

    This isn't our hunting time, that's in November. And as far as Chicago vs the NY Metro area for Italian food, I'm afraid we could debate that for years and never find the middle. :emoji_laughing:

    Big weekend in the Catskills and an amazing happy BBQ accident! Lots of pics and Q-Vue

    I still really like it pan fried in butter too, but my uncle really enjoys this style so I fix it for him. :emoji_slight_smile:

    Big weekend in the Catskills and an amazing happy BBQ accident! Lots of pics and Q-Vue

    All Rainbows! If anyone wants it I’m happy to share the way I cook these. It’s a nice change from just pan frying in butter or almondine.

    Big weekend in the Catskills and an amazing happy BBQ accident! Lots of pics and Q-Vue

    Every year, sometimes twice a year we have a gathering over 3 days in the Catskill mountains in NY at the old farmhouse that I've been hunting and fishing at since I was a kid. Many of the out of town guys are from the Chicago area and don't get the authentic Italian food and specialties that we...

    Hey! What's This OTBS About Anyways? (OTBS Nominations)

    Thanks. I wasn't trying to be snarky in any way, I was legitimately curious. :emoji_slight_smile:

    Hey! What's This OTBS About Anyways? (OTBS Nominations)

    I have a question about the "q-vue" requirement. Is there something special or some special place for this, or is it simply a matter of adding some pics to you regular post? Some tag or keyword you need to have in your post?

    Camp Chef Smoker group?

    The grill-type units are probably better for "all-around" use, especially since you can add the jerky racks to give a lot capacity inside for smoking or drying jerky, plus you can add the Sear Box or IMPO the even better SideKick that gives you a flat top griddle and the options of adding a...

    Camp Chef Smoker group?

    Camp Chef's customer service is nothing short of excellent. They are a relatively small operation and COVID restriction s have really hit them hard. I'm surprised about emails not being returned because that's not been most peoples experience. I'd say keep trying and in the mean time just...

    Camp Chef vs Pit Boss Pro

    I can tell you that Camp Chef has EXCELLENT customer service. Also, you will love the Sidekick should you decide to add it. It comes with the flattop griddle and the BBQ Box (needed for grilling and searing) and the pizza oven both are around $100 or less. I have the Smokepro DLX 24 and I...

    New to forum just ordered a Camp Chef DLX 24 in stainless

    Camp Chef guy here, too. I have the DLX and the XXL. Love them both and at some point you're going to find yourself looking at the Sidekick. It comes with the flattop griddle and I have the pizza oven, too. I bought the BBQ box, but it's still brand new and unused because the wife insisted on a...

    What's your 'other' hobby?

    Well, my wife says I have far too many hobbies, but I can't put down the things I love... Hunting, shooting, reloading, especially bird hunting with my English Setter, but big game, small game, archery, I do it all. I'm also very involved with The Sons of The American Legion. Music: I play...
