    20 lb tukey and 2 10 lb pork shoulders

    I should have checked the site on the turkey.  Found out after I bought it that it is too big without halving it.  Couldn't halve it as I had the pork already thawed.  So I pulled it at about 3 1/4 hours at 132 degrees and put in a 375 deg oven.  Temp was 145 deg at 4 hours.  Looking at about...

    Do mods help? Really?

    I would guess they help some.  With the insulation, I can hold my hand on the smoker lid, so there has to be a reduced heat loss.  But I still get a 25 to 30 degree heat differential across the grates.  I do use a water pan on the fire box side to adsorb some of the heat spikes.  The real reason...

    1st smoke of the year - 06-14-2016. Yeah, I'm late.

    Thanks Frank, Had family over yesterday and served the pulled pork made Monday/Tuesday.  I had put it in the freezer.  On thawing it seemed to mellow out, also added 3-4 cups of apple juice on reheating (1/2 cup at a time) to keep moist.  All loved the pork.  My daughter would not even make a...

    Smoking in Pittsburgh

    Had family over today and had the pork smoked on Monday night (put in the freezer when done Tuesday).  Either I was too critical of the results at first or the flavors mellowed out in the freezing/thawing process.  As I was heating it up I did add 3 or 4 cups of apple juice (1/2 cup at a time...

    Thanks Gary, It is a great site and how everyone takes the time to share experience.  I poked around awhile and finally decided on a Chargriller Super Pro modifying it out of the box with suggestions from here.  Pictures are in the Chargriller group...

    Thanks Frank, Another thing I need to look for, I did not know there were enhanced ribs.

    Hi Frank, Looks good.  What temp were you at for the ribs and what kind were they?  My wife is after me for ribs next.

    Thanks Frank.  I looked up some of the posts from Cliff and you.  Interesting that higher smoking temperatures are suggested.  I think I'll give that a try next time, it may help with stick burning.

    Thanks fpmich.  I see Frank in your tag line do you prefer that?  On my second trial I did a mix of lump and small splits, that worked well.  Better than this time.  My first smoke is was pretty bad.  It could be the wood too as I do not know what type it is.  Its been garage kept for 2 years...

    Thanks fpmich, I'm in the same boat.  2-3 people and couldn't justify a more expensive unit.  Plus I took it as a challenge to see what I could do with it.  Thanks for the warning on the fiberglass.  I'll keep watch on it.  I did seal all exposed areas with FDA high temp silicone so as long as...

    Smoking in Pittsburgh

    Hi Al, Thanks for the welcome.  Mixed results.  I did not use any lump after the initial startup.  There is a little too much smoke for my taste.  Per what I have read some people have been able to use only wood others haven't.  I may be in the second category.  During my second smoke I used...

    Hi from Pittsburgh.  A few years back I had a bullet smoker until I burnt out the fire pan.I now have a Chargriller Smokin Pro for about a month and did a few mods right out of the box.  All of the mods I've made I read about somewhere, unfortunately I can't remember who's ideas they were so I...
