    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    Wow 6 hour burn!! :shock: That's great. I usually start my charcoal in a chimney then dump it on a pretty good sized pile of unlite coals - then after 2 hours or so I start using wood - usually oak and pecan. I still haven't mastered how much smoke for the right amount of flavor - but I am...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    cheech, I really like mine - I have been smoking for less than a year but I have not had any problems out of this unit. the fire box has worked great for me - I have used both charcoal and wood to cook with and the fire box is big enough for either. the metal seems pretty heavy duty without...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    hillcity, I tried crazyhorses idea and turned the charcoal pan upside. it works great!! - There is only approx 25* temp diff from one side to the other. And the great thing about flipping the charcoal pan is you don't have to buy anything. Just flip it over and put the adjusters in there...

    Got SOme Diff. Types of wood

    A friend from work gave me some maple and oak this weekend. :) The trees have been down for approx 12-14 months. I hope they will burn good. I am going to get the bark off of them and split them into small strips. He knew what I wanted them for so he cut them in small "logs" 12-16 inches...

    The Fat Cap Discussion Thread (Applies to Pork too)

    Chicago Bill, I am very new to smoking but your logic seems dead on too me. I have yet to smoke a brisket - but I think when I do It will be fat cap down. I am waiting on someone to do a side by side trial -one packer cap up and one packer cap down. I think it should be interesting. Great...

    First Turkey Smoke

    Thanks Earl - I will try that next time I do spare ribs. And I'll check out that bean recipe, sounds good. Man that chuck roast smoke sounds good!! It sounds like a crock pot meal, but in the smoker. What do you put in the pan with the carrots, potatoes, and mushroom? What I mean is, what...

    First Turkey Smoke

    Well everything turned out delicious! The ribs were very tender and tasty. They weren't quite fall off the bone tender but they very good. The turkey took 7 hrs to reach 175* . It had a good smoke flavor and a hint of the italian dressing. It wasn't dry, but I do wish it was a little more...
