    Taking Dixie Grilled Chicken into the realm of smoking??

    I've got a favorite recipe for chicken that I love called Dixie Grilled Chicken (google it, there's many different versions all over the web but I can share mine if anyone really wants it..).  But the keyword in the recipe is "grilled" as the higher direct heat makes the skin nice and crispy. Of...

    QView - My first brisket - the challenge of the stall

    Actually, I did add liquid to the foil, a can of beer. I really think the dryness came from running a little hot all day. Lesson learned. Thanks again everyone!

    QView - My first brisket - the challenge of the stall

    Thanks for the advice everyone. An upgraded thermometer set up is definitely going to be my next purchase, probably before I do any CG mods. Just for the sake of saying so, I did have the brisket foiled in the oven. In general, too much heat seems to have been my downfall. And really, what that...

    QView - My first brisket - the challenge of the stall

    Yup, I'm the same guy who posted last night in a panic! My first brisket and second smoke ever, the thing stalled on me and I may have panicked a little. In the end, it turned out really good, but not great. My main "beef" (haha) is that it was a little on the dry side. The flavor was there...

    Help! Noob has a stalled brisket..

    Thanks everyone. I ended up cranking the oven to 250 and that brought it out of the stall. The problem was, that dried it out a little bit. Ah well, lesson learned. I'll have a QView with more of the story up later today.

    Help! Noob has a stalled brisket..

    I'm hoping with a few posts under my belt, this goes up right away and isn't moderated. I'm in the middle of a brisket. It's 4.75lbs, and I started it this morning just before 9am. I smoked it over mesquite and charcoal in my Chargriller until about 1:30pm. At that point, the temperature was at...

    Qview: Losing My Smoking Virginity With a Picnic Shoulder

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Smokinstevo27 - My wife has this strange notion that barbecue needs sauce drizzled over it after you cook it. So she insists on buying stuff like that HT Traders sauce whenever I cook. It's funny though - once my guests taste the meat, they never seem to need the...

    Qview: Losing My Smoking Virginity With a Picnic Shoulder

    Happy New Year! I've posted on a few threads and yes, I am a noob. My smoker is a Char-Griller with the SFB. I will say at the outset that time, money and circumstance prevented me from making most of the standard CG mods before my first smoke. So I improvised. I did turn the charcoal pan...

    Noob read the CG mods thread, but still has questions...

    JlRodriguez - Your point is well-taken on the seasoning, however, I've got a bit of a space issue as my back patio is rather small. For now, the CG is going to have to do double duty. I threw a bunch of lump charcoal in today to give it a first burn, but I did not do the Pam. Do I need to do...

    Noob read the CG mods thread, but still has questions...

    Many thanks for the pointers. Obviously, I haven't cooked with this thing yet. I just dumped it full of lump charcoal about an hour ago to give it a first burn. When I started that, I had not read these replies yet, so I did line the bottom with the ceramic briquets. But I guess the point of...

    Noob read the CG mods thread, but still has questions...

    Hi everyone - I've been surfing the forums for the past hour or so, trying to get a handle on my Char-griller with SFB. A lot of the mods make perfect sense, but I've still got plenty of noob questions I can't seem to figure out. (And yes, I searched first...) A couple of these are of a more...
