    First time with my new pizza oven!

    I didn't think to take a photo of the bottom, but I can tell you that I was very aware not burning the bottom and I pulled each one out when the bottom got to a nice even, crispy brown. I found that the pizza spatula is a really important tool to have for turning the pie and checking the...

    First time with my new pizza oven!

    I kept the stone around 500-550F. I used one of those IR thermometer guns. It took a little bit t come up to temp because I wanted to heat it slowly so I would crack the stone.

    First time with my new pizza oven!

    For Christmas the wife got me the pizza oven attachment for my Camp Chef Sidekick. I've been dying to try it out, just waiting for a free weekend and some decent weather here in NY. I gotta say, the pizza was awesome! I used my own recipe for the pizza sauce, and frozen dough I got at...

    To seal or not to seal door

    I would recommend NOT sealing a pellet smoker/grill. These things are basically convection ovens and they use a fan to circulate the hot air through them. You won't be losing any significant heat or smoke around the lid or door and the gaps there are needed to maintain proper airflow through...

    Is Paint pealing/rusting on a (fairly new) Camp Chef pretty normal??

    Give Camp Chef a call, their customer service is really good.

    A Little Fun: Your Favorite T-Shirt (4 Pics)

    I also have a t-shirt problem. My wife is always complaining about how many I have and how old some of them are. I have a bunch that I've "collected" over a 34 year law enforcement career and also being a musician I always look for fun shirts to wear at gigs. I'm a big Blues Borthers fan, too...

    Grill Suggestions?

    I have a new Weber that we bought last year when we re-did our back deck. It's very nice, the Spirit E-330. I didn't want it, but the wife made me do it . But before this grill I had a Napoleon. For 20 years. maybe 3 years ago I replaced the burner with a new OEM stainless steel burner and...

    Need help deciding on a new smoker

    The Sidekick is about double the size of the Searbox and twice the BTU output.

    Need help deciding on a new smoker

    The Sidekick on the Camp Chef is a really a great add-on piece. You get a flat-top griddle included with it, and adding the grill box gives you a 30,000 BTU grill and sear station. And they have a pizza oven for it, too (I just got the pizza oven for Christmas and can't wait to try it...

    Snack Sticks

    I had a pretty decent experience with the Hi Mountain Pepperoni kit this fall. I used about 7lbs of venison with about 3 lbs of pork fat for a 10lb batch. Maybe be could've been a little spicier for my own taste but it was very good. Follow the instructions to the letter with the measuring...

    NorthEast Blizzard

    I'm in the lower Hudson Valley of NY and we got about +/- 2 feet. It's about 8am here as I type this and it's still snowing lightly. It's funny, in 36 years of working, 34 in law enforcement, I never missed a single day of work due to the weather. I really appreciate being retired now and not...

    Pizza stone with cast iron?

    Thanks guys. I guess I would make sure to warm the pan up a bit. The point here is just to be able to have a pan-style pizza every now and then. Most times I'll just be using the stone and peel.

    Pizza stone with cast iron?

    Probably a dumb question, but I just got the pizza oven attachment for my Camp Chef Sidekick. The floor of it is a non-removable pizza stone. I also have a Lodge cast iron pizza pan. Wondering if there's any harm or disadvantage to placing the pan in the pizza oven on the stone when I want...

    Vertical smoker for sausage

    The original one with the non-WiFi controller is d/c. They are still selling it with the upgraded controller.

    Quantity advice.

    I think you'd be ok with just one considering/assuming that you're going to have other food like appetizers, salads sides, desserts, etc. in addition to about 1lb per son of brisket. But if you decided to do 2 pork buts you can always shred the second one a freeze it or refrigerate it for later...

    Vertical smoker for sausage

    I don't know if it can handle that much at one time, probably not. Here's the page on CC's website. https://www.campchef.com/xxl.html

    Vertical smoker for sausage

    I love my Camp Chef XXL vertical. And it comes with the sausage hooks. The newer ones have WiFi PID controllers and they do make an accessory cover and custom fitted insulating blanket for the colder weather. They are around $600-$700 and Camp Chef is pretty well-known for their customer...

    Child labor?

    My Dad wasn't a mechanic, he was a mailman. He was a rural carrier which meant that he used his own vehicle to deliver the mail and sell stamps and money orders to the boonies. Before I was in school and sometimes during the summer months he'd take me along on his route as his "assistant". My...

    Smoked Honey-Teriyaki Wings

    Ok, so here's some smoked Honey Teriyaki wings I did in the Camp Chef Smokepro DLX for Father's Day. I've been thinking about doing them again and because they came out so good I thought I'd share how I did it. All store-bought ingredients because I kinda "winged it" (sorry couldn't resist )...
