    Char-Griller Duo! Mods

    This is how I modified mine.  Holes go from 1/4" to 1-1/4". Works great even temperatures throughout the chamber. Also added the chimney extension and modified the secondary rack to clear it. Finally, I converted to propane just to save myself from sleepless nights when I do briskets.  I can...

    Weber Out of Round Question

    Went ahead and called weber and they had me checked the lid and bowl on a flat surface to check to see which was actually out of spec and it was still the lid.  They're shipping me a new lid, which is great.  A little inconvenient to wait to start cooking but the customer service is great.  Its...

    Weber Out of Round Question

    Just bought a new Weber 22.5 Kettle but when I was done I noticed the lid wobbled from one side.  I measured the lid from 12-6 and its 22 7/8" and from 3-9 and that measure 23 3/16" the long side is where I get the wobble.  Is this normal or is the a cause to call weber to a replacement.  It...

    First Turkey w/ Qview

    As for the propane firebox, I did what others have done.  Just used a turkey fryer burner and I'm using a coffee can on its side for a smoke box.  I tried a cast iron pan and bread pans for the smoke box but both would cause the chunks to catch on fire.  The can works great so far.

    Oregon Scientific AW131 Signal

    What I worry about is when the signal is lost and the base is looking to acquire the signal again.

    Thermometer Probe Problem

    On my last smoke this is what has worked for me (picture).  The temps are now within 5 degrees of the oven thermometers.  The only thing I find curious is the cheap thermometer can read the temps variations more quickly.

    First Turkey w/ Qview

    I finally did my first my first turkey on the CharGriller Duo.  I brined it using cranberry/apple juice with some cloves, garlic and orange slices.  Tasted great although next time I will use apple wood instead of hickory was a little to smoky for my taste.  The CharGriller is modified with...

    Oregon Scientific AW131 Signal

    I have one AW131 Wireless Thermometer and I'm curious if I buy another will the signals from the probe interfere with each other?

    Thermometer Probe Problem

    The cheap walmart one has a bend at the end 90 degree angle.  The Oregon is straight.  I put the probe all the way to the end of thermometer in the potato.

    Thermometer Probe Problem

    I have two thermometers; a cheap walmart one and a Oregon Scientific AW131.  Both have been checked using the ice method and boiling water and both read correct.  The problem comes when I insert the Oregon one into a potato and get reading in my smoker 40 degrees higher than the walmart one and...

    MES 40 Model Types

    I look at the model number threads for the MES but I get conflicting answers.  The model 20070710 from Academy says it has black sides yet the display model there is all stainless. The model from SamsClub 20070810 has black sides but has a remote control.  Can someone confirm that either the...
