    Fatty Recipe Collection

    I would love to have someplace to go that listed nothing but fatty recipes...no threads to go through, just the recipe. So, if you are interested, post 1 or several of THE BEST FATTIES YOU HAVE EVER MADE/HAD. They don't have to be all crazy and gourmet either. Sometimes we just need a simple...

    Basic pork chops

    I just want to smoke some pork chops. Approximately how long will that take? What temp am I looking for? Thanks in advance!

    Just want my meats to taste good

    Shan: I was here 2 months ago...totally ruined 4 racks of ribs. I did it all wrong, but thankfully, this site saved me!!! I thought that "smoking" meant constant, billowing smoke for 8 hours!! I wasn't happy unless it was rolling out. Wrong. I was using all wood. Wrong. I had the ribs...

    Need opinions on what to charge for services?

    HI: I have the DUO as well. I would think you'll have to remove the warming rack inside the chamber. If you haven't already, it's quite easy.

    Thermometer mods

    thanks for the reply. I'm guessing that I can buy this step-gizmo thing at Lowes???

    Thermometer mods

    Probably a very dumb question but here goes anyway. I'm installing 2 thermometers on my Chargriller DUO (same as Pro) and they call for a 13/16 hole. The instructions say "just drill a 13/16 hole"...like it's no big deal. Do they make a 13/16 drill bit for metal??? that's pretty damn big...

    Initial report on the "DUO" w/ Q-view

    "HI": we may be the only ones on here with the DUO. I am having a lot of fun with mine. A couple of observations that I'm wondering if you have found as well. 1. I had to put another set of wheels on it because I was worried about the weight when moving it around. 2. I had to make a baffle to...

    first fatty

    SmokinJoe, I replied back to your message but have no idea if I did it right. Let me know if you don't get it. Like the message says, I think it just hit me. I'll bet my baffle is too long (that's what she said). It just runs the entire length of the chamber without any tuning plates. Oh...

    first fatty

    Hey SmokinJoe, I have a question for you that may sound absolutely ludicrous but I'm stumped. I have the Chargriller DUO which is basically identical to the Chargriller PRO just smaller because it also has a gas grill. Anyway, the SFB is the same set-up as yours. Do you have any difficulty...

    first fatty

    Yep, I see you are about as creative with the user name as I. I did 3 fatties yesterday! A pizza fatty with italian seasoned diced tomatoes, mozz, mushroom and pepperoni. A mexican fatty with mexican crumbled cheese, jalapeno, drained salsa and black beans. And then just your run of the mill...

    Brisket Flat Q-View

    Abelman, thanks for the response. The Chargriller DUO doesn't have a water pan. It is essentially the same thing as the Chargriller Pro, just with a second grill that is gas. It's truly the best of both worlds. If you are using primarily hardwood lump charcoal, how long do people usually...

    Brisket Flat Q-View

    That looks incredible or I'm just REALLY hungry! Anyway, I'm so confused now. I think I've read too many posts on brisket now. There seem to be an endless number of ways to smoke this bad boy. I have a Chargriller DUO with SFB and have trouble maintaining a temp above 200 for some reason...

    something's not right?

    Lots of great help. Ya'll are the best. I'm still using the therm that came with the grill and no, it hasn't been calibrated. that should be my next task. Have the butt double wrapped and in oven at 250. A lot of the rub came off of the bottom of the butt when I pulled it off grill. I did...

    something's not right?

    Yes, that's exactly the unit. Update: the fatty got done. Holy ****!! that may be one of the best things I've ever made, ever! The butt hit 140 and is now in the oven. This trial definately went better than the last, that's for sure. I couldn't have done it with out ya'll. Thank you thank you.
