    Updating older GMG Jim Bowie

    Hi All, I purchased my Jim Bowie back in 2012 and back then I had it dialed in so I had a 5-10 degree swing from left to right. Fast forward through a couple of moves to a new state and new elevation (near sea level to over 6000ft), my JB is no longer in balance. Now my JB has a nearly 100...

    GMG - DB Drying out briskets

    I have been having the same issue on my JB lately. I have done three things that have helped my briskets. Set the pit temp to 225 and then tested temps at 24 spots across my grate to know the hot and cold spots are. This helped me with placement. I started doing the fat side down. Burn the...

    Where can I get deals on meat in the Denver area

    Thank you, everyone. Life has taken some turns so, for now, I will be using Sam's Club and King Soopers (when it is on sale). I will try the stores you all have suggested for special family events.

    Keeping Burgers and Dogs warm for a Block Party

    Hi All, I have been sniffing around and looking at the keeping food warm threads, but I am ending up with more questions than answers. My family and I moved into a brand new neighborhood and to get to know our neighbors we decided to attempt a block party this Saturday. So far everything is...

    Where can I get deals on meat in the Denver area

    Thank you everyone. I will stick with my Sam's Club for now. We do not frequent Costco due to its location and the meat at my local Wal-Mart and King Soopers are not always the best as many times I go in the meat is is turning grey.

    Peanut Butter Meltaways (Bear's Favorite Candy)

    I just wanted to say that I have been making these for family functions since I first found this and they are usually inhaled within minutes. I have also been breaking them into smaller pieces, then mixing them into some fresh made ice cream and caramel sauce. My wife calls it the "most evil...

    Where can I get deals on meat in the Denver area

    Hello All, Life made me take a hiatus from smoking for a few years and during this time I had to relocate from California to Denver (Castle Rock). Now that I am settled in, I am ready to start my smoker back up but I am not finding any where to get a good price on meat beyond the local...

    GMG Jim Bowie Help

    I do want to state that I have a 3 yr old JB (without wifi).  I too had the same temp issues when I first got mine.  I had a Maverick ET-732 and a a few cheap temp probes from Target.  First I tested the probes in boiling water and ice water to validate that they were accurate to 212F and 32 F...

    Pellet Smoker as a grill to?

    Sorry for jumping in a few days late. I have a Green Mountain Grill Jim Bowie (Larger pellet smoker) and many times I crank it up to 450 and throw some burgers and dogs on it.  I have made pizzas seared on it (though not as good a grill sear), grilled a few steaks and other things on there.  If...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    I have had my Jim Bowie for about 3 years (pre-wifi model).  Unfortunately,  I have not smoked as much as I would have like to in the past year due to family, work and other hobbies, but starting to fire the ol JB back up.  My first few smokes I had issues cause some moisture got in the hopper...

    How many probes are too many?

    After talking to you all and few other people from an internal circuitry standpoint I will put the guts in for 16 since the price difference between 4 and 16 probes is $40.  However, from a connectivity standpoint on the outside of the box I am going to put connections for 4 probes for now.  ...

    How many probes are too many?

    Let me start by stating that I have the ET-732 and I have looked at the Digi-Q, BBQ Guru, Tappecue among others out on the market but none of them have what I am looking for. Having a pellet grill, I have created a basic sonar system (in another thread) to alert me when I need to add pellets...

    How about an A-maze-n pellet tray?  My Mrs. got me one for Father's day.  (she doesn't know that I know) If that fails how about scalextric track or a r/c airplane.
