    Ronnie James Dio passes away

    What's eerie is that this song came on my playlist randomly on Sunday

    First Brisket - w/Qview

    I was using RO lump and adding Apple wood chips the entire time. I need to find some Apple wood chunks because the chips required A LOT of maintenance. The temp gauge on my Chargriller was bouncing around between 250 and 275 the entire time. I think the cold weather (~40-44 degrees) helped...

    First Brisket - w/Qview

    Everything worked out well. I had a nice smoke ring around the meat and on top of that, my 11.9 month old LOVED it. Here is the finished product: We had quite a bit of leftovers, but who would've known that brisket tasted great in a breakfast sandwich! I'm going to tackle a pork...

    First Brisket - w/Qview

    This is after two hours, temp read 140 @NewFlame - It's probably turning into a beer shortly. I just needed some quick caffeine this morning

    First time smoker! In need of help.

    I'm a novice myself and this may seem like a stupid question, but have you tried adjusting the baffles on the back of your smoker? The more air you let circulate- the hotter the temps. My first mistake when I was trying to season my grill was that I thought it would get hotter if you kept the...

    Where are you from Poll

    Ohio here. Surprising that the Great Lakes dominate the poll :)

    First Brisket - w/Qview

    Thanks. Should I run the temps a little lower? I don't want to dry it out and I'm suffering from a little newbie paranoia.

    First Brisket - w/Qview

    So I'm going to try cooking my first brisket tomorrow. I've picked up a flat and I have a pretty good idea what I should do. My plan is to start smoking around 6am, wrap it after 3 hours (when it reaches 170), smoke for 2 more, than put back on the grill for another 2 or so. It's a 6.2 lb...

    Char-grillers...

    What's Academy and where can I print off their ad? I'm in need of a SFB :) *Edit - Found the store website, awesome. Hope it works up here in Ohio. Thanks!

    Cajunator Smoker w/ Q-View-Designed by Zeeker

    This thing looks great! One question though, I'm new around here - so what is the release valve on the bottom of the grill for?

    First Smoke in Chargriller - Easy Chicken w/QView

    Well, it said 250 on the char griller thermostat. Everything I've heard says that thing is usually off by 30 to 50 degrees, so I could have been at 280 or 300 - or it could have been 250. I like the River City BBQ gauges and I think I'll either put 1 in or 2, one on each side of the grill.

    First Smoke in Chargriller - Easy Chicken w/QView

    Thanks everyone. There weren't any leftovers. My one year old son, who is generally a picky eater, cleaned out all the dark meat. He usually avoids chicken like the plague, but must've been something in the smoke. Bonus :)

    First Smoke in Chargriller - Easy Chicken w/QView

    Hi all, Please be kind, but this is my first smoke, and first smoke in my new chargriller. I used some applewood chips and smoked at around 250 for 2 hours. The chicken came out pretty juicy and I'm looking forward to something more ambitious in a week. No mods yet on the grill, but thinking...

    Newbie from Ohio

    Thanks. We just moved to Kent at the beginning of the year. I have a birthday coming up for my son here in a couple weeks and I'm hoping to give my new grill a little workout. I saw that quite a few people talk up the Wicked Baked Beans, so I'm going to give those a try too. Do you know...

    Newbie from Ohio

    Hi all, I'm located in NorthEastern Ohio and just picked up a Chargriller Pro this past weekend. I've been pretty hooked on bbq'n and lightly smoking for awhile, but this is the first time I've had a grill where it SHOULD be possible. In the past, I used a 22" weber and indirectly cooked...
