    First time using charcoal!

    Sorry guys been busy, tried it out with some burgers, I must say I've been missing out, came out perfect and tasted amazing, I'm doing some steaks tonight:biggrin: Was over helping a friend weld some stuff onto a mustang he's building and he gave me this brand new never been used char-broil! So...

    First time using charcoal!

    And I'm excited!!!! Never used a charcoal grill/smoker but have been wanting one for a few years. Fired up my roughly 10yr old bbq pro propane this year and the burners finally about rotted through on the end! Started looking at gas grills (mind you I always got someone's old hand me down grill...

    2nd go round on tri tip

    I actually found the recipe on here, added a little cheese and bacon and was freaking INCREDIBLE!!! My mom used the same recipe last weekend but baked it and it was good but that smoke really does something for it!! I actually made two layers, two cups noodles on the bottom, cheese, bacon...

    2nd go round on tri tip

    And away we go!!!! Trying my first attempt at Mac and cheese! Got a few Jack Daniels chips in the bottom of the pans to get the hickory chunks going. Got everything in a little later than I wanted to but at almost 60° today I had to pull the cover off the bike for awhile!

    2nd go round on tri tip

    Tested out all probes on both mavs 201°(I'm at about 5300ft) calibrated my dial therms as well and actually decided to test the one on the front of the smoker which is actually right! I had marked it out using the taylors I had and was showing about 40° low, turns out that's not the case!! I'm...

    Are taylors just junk?

    I think my chamber temps have been wrong all along, by the Taylors I marked the gauge on the smoke hollow(about 40° difference). Well this morning I put heart shrink on all the probes, booked water had all 4 maverick probes reading 201°, decided to take the gauge off the front of the smoker...

    2nd go round on tri tip

    Starting a tri tip for tomorrow, last week's came out a tad spicy and very well done but was still amazingly tender! Changes this week are got new maverick et732's I ordered, today! Picked up a tri tip very similar to my last one. Doctored my rub a bit to take some heat out. Was looking at what...

    Are taylors just junk?

    Got em!!! Tested them in boiling water, both were reading 203°(im at about 5300ft above sea level) figured that was pretty damn close so calibrated my dial thermometers to the same. Stopped on my way home and picked up another tri tip to test em out tomorrow. Going to rtv and heat shrink around...

    Are taylors just junk?

    Good news!!!! I got into my amazon account and figured it out!!!! Made an account awhile ago but never bought anything! So anyway ended up ordering 2 et-732's, since i cant get em local figure i have a spare or if i'm using both racks i can monitor bbq temp and meat at each rack! And i also...

    Are taylors just junk?

    I did come across one local same part number, says made by maverick but they slap big green egg on the label and Jack the price up. I get paid tomorrow, gonna figure out how to use my Amazon account and order one up! I did a tri tip this weekend and the smaller Taylor was reading about 20°...

    Are taylors just junk?

    Emailed maverick looking to see if i had a local dealer, but plans changed and i wont need it this weekend (i dont have a dealer close) So with time to order who's got the best deals, was looking into the ET-733 as well, for an extra $10 bucks i'm thinking it'd be nice to have the latest and...

    Are taylors just junk?

    Bought the gray one when I first started smoking and was great till I burned up a probe lead, was in a pinch so bought the smaller one... I realize they aren't mavericks but at the time I didn't know any better first smokes were fine and spot on with my dial thermometer. Got suspicious of the...

    ranch dressing for smoked wings?

    Wanting to try smoking wings here soon, I love ranch dressing, I could eat the wingstop ranch with a spoon!!! Anyone know how to make it? I found a recipe that supposedly is close but flavor and what certain ingredients will taste like together isn't my forte. 1 cup mayo 1/2cup sour cream 1/4...

    snowy new years Chuck roast

    Glad I went in and smoked this instead of crock potting it!! Think next experiment will be wings!! Come tax time I'm investing in probably a few mavericks, I've got two Taylors that are junk!! Buddy and me are watching craigslist for a good size charcoal bbq we can add a fire box to and make a...

    snowy new years Chuck roast

    So after some thermometer issues that about freaked me out (neither of my Taylor's were reading accurate to my analogs I gauged how far off the one was off, then it decided to stay accurate once the meat was heading up until the wind blew it off the smoker and now it doesn't display anything)...

    snowy new years Chuck roast

    My brother did one last weekend and said it came out alright but not great, out of curiosity looked at the store and found a gorgeous one. Had great luck with turkeys and fatties and for the price I figure if I screw up my first attempt at beef I'm not out much. Marinated it in Italian dressing...

    finally trying these!

    Took some down to my parents and brother, my mom loved the breakfast and my brother loved the pizza but agreed with me the pepperoni, Italian sausage and bacon was a little overwhelming. So picked up a roll of canned pizza dough and crescent rolls, cut some slices and wrapped em then baked...
