    What tool should I use to scrape my porcelain coated grill grates?

    Yes, they've worked OK for me. See my quoted prior post #11. The porcelainized grill grates Char Broil made in the 90's & early aughts lost their coating over time & rusted regardless, so I have a personalbias against porcelainized coated grill food grates. . I now use a stainless steel food...

    What tool should I use to scrape my porcelain coated grill grates?

    A stainless steel spiral wound design brush was what Char Broil recommended to use with the original porcelainized food grate, something like this. There are a lot of variations on this theme between different brands, here's a basic one...

    Adding propane assist to a wood/charcoal smoker

    This company has been around a number of years. Maybe you can discuss your ideas with the owner. https://gassmoker.com/shop The risk of flameout with gas accumulating in a too rich environment until a lid is lifted introducing more oxygen is a real possibility. Look around the internet and...

    Internal temperature remote thermometer?

    I'm currently using a FireBoard 2 base model, no fan controls etc. as none of my cookers have fans. I've only used it a few times so far but I'm 100% happy with this unit.

    chinese pistache?

    Urishiol is certainly noted for numerous trees, including cashew, mango, and pistachio. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/urushiol-plant-allergies.htm Maybe you can ask an arborist?

    chinese pistache?

    I've used pistachio tree wood from California for smoking, I have no idea if that's the same as chinese pistache. Very mild flavor when I used it for a 9 lb BostonButt, and I prefer a more robust smoke flavor. I plan to try smoking some cheese with it in my bullet smoker once the weather gets a...

    Adding propane assist to a wood/charcoal smoker

    The explosion danger possibility is very real, hence very few products due to potential liability IMO.

    Possessed Fireboard 2

    I have a FireBoard 2, sans controls - no fan - just temperature indication. I've not yet experienced what you described OP.

    Turkey Skin

    FWIW, IME which smoke wood is used, and how much smoke wood is used (except for 100% stick burning) has an influence on how dark the skin gets. When I was still smoking turkeys for holidays, I used a Bayou Classic beer can turkey rack and used my bullet smoker with the turkey upright and on the...

    Turkey - Butter Replacement

    I've used a few Cajun Injector brand pre-made injection solutions in the past with good results. You can review what's available in that brand. I can't compare with Tony C's because I've never used Tony C's injections. https://www.mccormick.com/zatarains/cajun-injectors Instead of turkey I...

    Anybody like pecan wood?

    Nope, they were associated with the now long moribund The Smoke Ring forum. And it's likely they've burned up everything they gathered from that event 13 years ago by now. We left Louisiana in early2012, relocated to The Great Lakes area again by my wife's employer, and then in 2016 finally back...

    Anybody like pecan wood?

    Wurd. I knew folks in Baton Rouge making homemade lump charcoal from the pecan & water oak downed by Gustav in 2008 after running out of room to stack & season any more green wood for smoking to season, back while we lived in rural St. James Parish.

    K-Rigg pressure smoker, thoughts?

    Sorry, one of my tics: It's Gauge, not guage. I dunno how many times I saw "Guage Hatch" stencil painted at gauge hatches on petroleum barge tanks while was working my way through school in the 80's Tic Tic Tic

    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    It might not be widely known, but FWIW Royal Oak purchased the Frontier brand from Packaging Services Corporation back in 2015. After being difficult to find at best for several years, Royal Oak is using the Frontier brand for charcoal vareities Royal Oak is importing from outside the USA in...

    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    Ignore, unintended double post.

    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    It'd be good to have a comparison between the 30 lb. bag of Expert Grill lump at WM vs the 30 lb. bag of Royal Oak lump at WM - especially since it's clear the 30 lb. bag of Expert Grill Lump is supplied through Duraflame. Especially using the same metrics by The Naked Whiz. The 30 lb. bag of...
