    Any experiences with the other models?

    Griddle Purchase

    Wow, for $327 I'd jump on that thing, but not for $500. It seems there are a lot of the Blackstone's out there, but I really like the things I mentioned about the Royal Gourmet and the Camp Chef. I wish there were more users out there. I contacted Blackstone about why there are new griddles...

    Griddle Purchase

    What is Wally’s? I looked at Walmart.com and that unit in your picture is a lot more than $327.

    Griddle Purchase

    Yeh I see a lot more blackstones in my area. I have cooked on the front and the back grease drain. The back drain is definitely better but both of the ones I used felt unstable. It just seemed to be so thin and not much bracing. I’d like to find some camp chef and royal gourmet users to see...

    Griddle Purchase

    I could not find a better forum to post this in so here I go. I am considering buying a griddle and am looking for some experiences to help make up my mind. I am mainly considering the CampChef 600 4 burner and the Royal Gourmet 4 burner griddle. They both have things I like but they are both...

    Large Cook Advice

    Thanks.  I do not have a vacuum sealer but been wanting to get one.  I am obviously in the beginning stages of planning so almost everything is up in the air as of now.  I am trying to figure out meat(s), sides, how to server it, etc.  I will most likely just be doing the meat but have others I...

    Large Cook Advice

    I guess I need to go price some of the meats now.  I can never remember what each one cost.  I just did a pork butt Saturday and it was right around $2/lb.  What about pork shoulders instead of just the butt?  I know the butt is just part of the shoulder, along with the picnic, but just...

    Large Cook Advice

    Thanks for the replies. I really didn't think I would need that much meat, but you might be right. I am sure there will be sides, but not sure what yet. That's why I am in the early planning stages. I don't know of anything cheaper or easier than Pork Butt. I don't think I have room for 8 butts...

    Advice on Smoking Fresh Ham

    Can you get a cured, uncooked ham and then cook it?

    Advice on Smoking Fresh Ham

    If it will not taste like a ham, what will it taste like? I didn't think it would take that long. I have heard about curing but didn't think it was necessary. So am I better off to just do one of the pre cooked hams?

    Advice on Smoking Fresh Ham

    I plan to get the ham in the morning, brine/marinade all day, and cook early Thursday morning.  So I will have almost 24 hours of brine/marinade.  Is that not enough?

    Advice on Smoking Fresh Ham

    By fresh ham, I mean a raw, uncooked ham.  I do not mean a pre-cooked ham.  I am planning to pick it up from my butcher in the morning.  I will read the turkey fry thread also.

    Advice on Smoking Fresh Ham

    I want to smoke a fresh ham for Thanksgiving and have never done it before.  Here are a few questions I have: Do you suggest brine?  Marinade?  Injection?  If so, any recipe? What is the cook time like? Any specific Do's or Dont's? I have done the pre-cooked spiral sliced ham's and they...

    Gravity Feed Smoker Reviews/Opinions

    I have an electric MES 40 and a FastEddy PG500 and love to grill/smoke.  I have also owned cheap models of a traditional horizontal stick burner and a super cheap drum smoker, bot those are long gone now. The PG500 was a lot to spend, but I love it.  I have always admired the gravity feed...

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    Thanks for the heads up.  I did notice the $100 off.  I have both on my list, but obviously I am having trouble making up my mind.

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    Wow, thanks a lot! I like what I hear about the pellet smokers.  I like the dialin temps yet being able to burn real wood.  A WSM with a temp controller is still on the table, but the pellet smokers seem very cool. I too like a lot of smoke flavor, so I am a bit worried about having to use an...

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    Thanks, that's great info. As for cooking space, well I'm not sure as far as physical dimensions.  I have a family of 4, so 80% of my cooking will be for 4.  I do like to cook for guests, so I do often cook for more people, maybe 8'ish.  When grilling, I would want to cook stuff like steaks...

    Smoker Options & Best Practices

    Thanks.  I am trying to determine what type of quality these pellet grills will smoke and bbq food.  I just do not want to get into a situation where it is mediocre at grilling and mediocre at smoking.  Whether I buy separate equipment or a consolidated piece does not matter to me.  One piece of...

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    Thanks guys.  Didn't mean to create a dupe thread, but thought that the specific pellet smoker questions may be better suited for the pellet smoker forum. I really like most of what I have heard about pellet smokers except for this.  If I have to use the AMNPS or something else to produce the...
