    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Yea, but it wasn't that as I always unplug it. Timing would have had to been very good for it to get hit the very second I turned it on. As a retired electrical engineer (circuit and LSI design back in the late 70's) I understand where you are coming from but just think in this case it was a...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    One thing I did notice (once I got a working controller) is that my temps are pretty steady maybe +- 10degrees. Sorry (and concerned) about all your problems but I think the highlighted part of your quote is the most informative because I don't see on my 3 months of searching, deciding and...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    My first couple weeks were a bit tough as noted in my OP (mostly QC issues) but now that it has all settled down all has been good.

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    You got me by 7+ years of wedded bliss :emoji_laughing: and 5 yrs time on earth! Did my first ribs today (used 3-2-1 method) and they really came out great. Just need to find the "right" bbq sauce and rub. Needless to say the replacement controller worked perfectly and temps almost right on...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    If you're looking for a side shelf I just removed one from a PG24 to hang on the searbox. The entire grill is 2 weeks old. Even have the screws. PM if interested.

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Update to my OP .. got replacement controller today and all seems well. Cooked my first steak (rib-eye) and it actually came out good (was going to say "came out well" but that would confuse the issue since it was MR). The searbox really makes it nice. Re-Defrosting one of the 5 racks of...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    BWAHAHAHA! Oven? Our oven stores towels and boxes of cereal. Don't even know if it works! That's why I am (we are) "RetiredInFL". Wife is also retired and that includes from cooking. 51 yrs of marriage, 2 kids, 2 grandkids ... she's had enough! Besides, she's a vegetarian. It's all on...

    Simple single ribeye cooking timing - need help ASAP!

    Just got a pellet grill and after resolving some "issues" I want to do a test cook. Nothing fancy, just a cook to MR. I have one 10 oz rib-eye about 3/4" thick to play with. APPROXIMATELY how long should it take to cook this with grill set at 250 degrees? I have no idea and want to start it...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Didn't (don't). Just got the replacement controller 5 mins ago and it powers on. Now to do another test cook. 1 rack O' Ribs will have to defrost in the fridge. Saving the rest for future use.

    Never thought of that. Frankly don't think it would have made a difference.

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    UPDATE - Just got off the phone with Camp Chef and they were very apologetic but not very accommodating because they wouldn't ship overnight even if I wanted to pay for it which means 5 racks of rib being RE-frozen which really isn't great plus a cancelled first smoke party due to lack of food...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    I felt like a centimeter after having to cancel my first smoke party (for ribs that is). :emoji_blush:

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Unfortunately there is no way I can send it back even if I could. Bought it online and have no packaging and even if I did it would be hell to repack it to ship it back. I'm sure they will take care of it because there aren't a lot of parts in it. Gotta be the controller. Just a VERY...

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Hmmm, all my life I was told to never to refreeze defrosted frozen meat. I guess I'll have to Google that. Edit: I did Google it and it says you can but they won't be the same. I guess it's better than tossing it out. Thanks!

    My really bad experience(s) with my new Camp Chef

    Wow... just have to vent (no pun intended). Sorry for the long message. After 4 months obsessing on which (and whether) to get a pellet grill I decided on a Camp Chef SmokePro SG24. All I have ever had was a small propane grill. Received it on Monday and it's been hell ever since. First 2...

    Covering the drip tray/pan for ease of cleaning?

    I assume the one you got does not have the "slide and grill" feature because S&G requires the 2pc drip tray that is slotted?
