    Smoked Chicken Help

    Above your beer can chicken, saw you had some pretty good looking jalapenos. Would you mind sharing what you have in them? Think that would be a "keeper." Your chicken looks wonderful and really juicy. Ron

    Smoked Chicken Help

    Would be interested in your brine recipe. Read where the type of salt you use makes a difference in quantity. Good to know somone that has used a recipe before using it the first time and then it does not turn out. Thanks Ron

    Bill: Thanks for your reply to my question on a gas burner for the Chargriller 830. If you can find that link, I would appreciate it. I had planned to use that gas burner to help maintain the temperature. Thanks again.

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    Thought I got this onto the forum, but don't see my question, so here goes again -- I have the Chargriller 830 and recently added gasket lining around the smoke chamber. No smoke comes out now and seems to work good. Was wondering if anyone has ever put a small propane burner into the fire box...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    On my Chargriller 830, my last modification I made was to put gasketing around the smoke box to keep smoke & heat in. Has anyone ever tried to put a propane burner into the firebox? Was contemplating this with a small propane burner from a portable picnic grill.

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    Have a question for you, Willkat 98: When you installed the tuning plates into your 830 Pro Grill, did you just lay them in or bolt them in? If that solves the problem of the heat difference, that would be great. When I measured the temperatures as of now, it is about 300 at the firebox and...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    I purchased the Chargriller Pro 830 with side firebox from Menards when they had them on sale a couple months ago for around $150. I have seen them on sale at Menards, so if you have one there, you might want to check with them. Lowe's also carries them, but have not seen them on sale. I am new...

    Char-Grill Amarican offset smoker

    Crazyhorse: I have a Chargriller and have heard that if you extend the outlet stack down to the cooking grate that is another modification. In your experience is this a viable option? :?:

    Temperature Control of Smoker

    Greetings Bob-BQN: Thanks for the response to my question. I am going to smoke a turkey this coming week end and will try your method. I am going to try to make a temporary basket for the charcoal until I get time to purchase one. In the times I have smoked, I usually use Kingsford charcoal and...

    Temperature Control of Smoker

    I recently purchased a CharGriller Smoker Pro with the side firebox. I am having trouble regulating the temperature when smoking. I am sure this has to do with the opening and closing of the vent and stack, but cannot find how to regulate this factor. Any suggestions on how to regulate would...
