Congrats on the new smoker! Be sure to show it off with some qview! I'm not sure I've seen one of the char griller pellet pits...I'd be interested to see it.
Good luck with the BBs and thighs!

Looks great...check out the reverse sear thread here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/124575/the-continuous-reverse-sear-thread if you haven't already!
Didn't know CharGriller made a pellet eater. Looks like a Traeger lil tex clone (reverse design). How much they go for?
five hundred dollars. 580 sq inch grilling area. iam planning on making a top grill rack on it but its roomy now. will hold five butts.

I too just purchased a Char Griller Pellet Smoker and love it! The cooking area is much larger than I anticipated and I achieved a perfect pink smoke ring on the two racks of baby backs I smoked last weekend. I'd love to see how you modify to a top rack Ole SMokey 38, please share once you get it completed!

WOW! You had that chamber jammed packed didn't you? They look great! How do you like your smoker? I have started using an Amaz-N smoker box with pellets to add more constant smoke besides the alternating smoke that is released and it woks great! Here are some ribs I did this past weekend.

For a second grate grab a gate from the local home store that fits your unit, then grab 4 6-8" stainless carraige bolts, 8 washers and 8 nuts. Use the bolts, rounded head down, for the legs and attach to the grate with the washers and nuts on each side of the grate. Simple and adds a nice extra level for cooking.

Pick up a nice 3 or 4 pound chuck roast and give it a go. Smoke it on a rack over a pan to catch anything that drips off, at 200 or so until it gets to about 170, then put it in the pan with some liquid/bout 1/4 cup maybe a bit more, Broth, beer, water, Wine, and foil the pan and go until the internal is 205 or so. Let rest for a few minutes covered then dig in you can shred or just eat chunks.
The steak looks fantastic. so does everything else, try some burgers also.

The maze smokers don't perform very well in pellet rigs...I experienced the same thing when I first got my pellet pit, and it was suggested to me that I try one of Todd's tube smokers instead...I did, and it works great!
