    Char-Griller Wrangler Pics, Comments & Questions

    All of the advice you have gotten so far is spot on. One other mod I would suggest is to add another vent in the side of your SFB. Its easy to do... just trace the pattern of that extra "pinwheel", drill it out, and cut with a fine metal cutting sabre saw. I burn a lot of wood in mine and had...

    Help request-Equipment change

    I have been using a CharGriller duo w/SFB for some time now with decent results. I've been considering a change in equipment. My current setup is OK, but it's not very fuel efficient, requires constant temp supervision, and is just plain too big. Thinking of going with a WSM. I need input from...

    Problem with Taylor 1470

    I used my Taylor 1470 for the first time Saturday and was generally pleased with the overall performance of the unit. However, when I washed the probe after the cook, the wire separated from the metal probe. I didn't use abnormal force in cleaning, it just came out. Has anyone experienced this...

    Who uses Rib Racks?

    I use a Weber 3601 and while I don't use it much for ribs, it really is handy for indirect cooking of chicken wings. I hung almost 2 dozen wings on this rack last night. Didn't need to flip each wing individually (a pain in the butt) but rather just rotated the rack every 10-15 minutes.

    Requesting advice-CG baffles/tuning plates

    Thanks to all for your time and ideas. Olewarthog... I think I'll give your method a try before I go to cuttin' and drillin'. Sounds like a good idea. YMMV????

    Requesting advice-CG baffles/tuning plates

    I have read pretty much all the threads here involving what I hope to be my last mod to my CG duo w/SFB. I have tried the reverse charcoal tray deal and, while it does work OK, I don't think it's as efficient as it can be. Does anyone have a baffle/tuning plate mod plan that really worked well...

    CG SFB Question

    I frequently burn wood in my side fire box and have trouble getting my temps up in a reasonable time. Last smoke took me an hour before I could put ribs on. It seems that the fire was not getting enough air. The wood was well seasoned. Has anyone added any holes for more ventilation...

    Breaking News: Old Dog Learns New Tricks

    I was looking forward to posting my first Qview after my Super Sunday smoking episode. However, not being real handy with a computer has caused not only blood pressure problems but thoughts of what a 5 pound sledge could do to my laptop. Cooler heads prevailed. I think I got this. An old dog can...

    Got a CharGriller for $155! Football cutouts!! & how to setup the firebox?

    I know you don't want to hear this but I had zero problems removing both "footballs". Sorry to hear you worked up a pretty good lather. I drilled out each hole with a 5/16" bit then worked a heavy duty chisel edge putty knife into each tack weld and broke each one individually. The panel then...

    Smokin’ Screw-Ups

    tripleBQ- Now I don't feel too silly. I did EXACTLY the same thing. Babied that brisket for 8-9 hrs, proudly strutted into the kitchen to present my wife the object of her incessant questions, "is it ready yet?" Only to carve that baby up and realize that it was CORNED BEEF

    pre paint question

    Denatured alcohol would be a better solvent to clean up that residue. It evaporates quickly and is certainly less toxic than lacquer thinner.
