    Just Popping In...

    Yeah, I'm still in Mobile. Today is the first day in a long time I have actually had a little free time at work. Things are slowing down a little for the holidays. Last week we took the entire family to Disney World, and I think the wife would be happy if we relocated to Orlando. Now that things...

    Just Popping In...

    I haven't been around in a while. I changed careers, and have a lot less time on my hands lately. I have only been able to smoke once since the beginning of October. I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a big 'ol... MERRY KISSMAS and a HAPPY CRÃœE YEAR

    Ghargriller side firebox Installation Problem....

    All of mine popped out easily except the very top hole that holds the box on. I had to drill it out. The instructions actually say you may have to drill them, so CG covers their butt on that one. I understand that if you can actually find one that has the SFB included, then all all the holes are...

    Minion Method

    Depending on what type of smoker you have. I made a simple 12 x 12 basket that is 6" deep out of expanded metal from Home Depot. I just cut 6 x 6 squares off of each corner then bent the sides up. I've had trouble using the minion method, but I think i need to seal up my char griller a little...

    Tuning The Chargriller

    I don't use a water pan, just the tuning plates. I sit the charcoal tray in the bottom without the hooks for heat retention. Without it every time you open the lid, the temps fall drastically.

    Tuning The Chargriller

    I've been experimenting with that myself. Here's what I have done and it works quite well. First, I sit the charcoal tray in the bottom of the cook chamber. Not upside down. I have four 6" x 18" 16 gauge steel plates from Lowe's. The first one is butted up to the fire box bolts. That leaves a...

    new kingfisher kooker

    I have the opposite problem with Kingsford. The last few bags I got, I can't use more than a dozen or so briquettes at a time in my Char Griller. Any more than that and it will go up to almost 300. And that's with the sfb damper closed.

    Happy Birthday Mötley Cüe!...

    38??? Today is only 36. LOL. It's the late teens and early 20's that are a little fuzzy for me. My thoughtful wife bought me a bunch of smoking supplies. She knows I'm nuts and just goes along with it now. She actually found some Royal Oak lump. I've been looking everywhere with no luck. I'm so...

    I'll second that. I did a 13 lb. brisket and it was done in about 8 hours.

    Hats off to SmokyOkie

    I would never use Match Light. I was just saying that regular Kingsford and Matchlight are all that is sold is this town.

    Hats off to SmokyOkie

    I just used my regular rub, which is heavy on sugar, so I was worried it burn and be bitter. The smell of that carmelizing was amazing. It turned out fantabulous. I'll probably try the pepper on the next one, along with a little more mesquite. And there will be a next one. I think I'm hooked.

    Hats off to SmokyOkie

    I jumped on the bandwagon and tried the SmokyOkie searing method. My searing left a little to be desired. All I had to do it on was my gas grill, but it got the job done. Now I have an excuse for a second Char Griller. Let me tell you what, this thing is delicious. I had to cut it in 1/2" slices...

    See the World ... Smell the Smoke

    True. But I guess I would figure anyone to go out and purchase a Lang would have to have some experience. An agressive purchase for a newbie. But then again as my Pappy used to say, "You can't hide money."

    Too Much Smoke!

    Try the foil packs. That will reduce airflow and allow them to smolder more. With a regular grill you have no way to control the airflow and your wood will burn up faster.

    Lang Question

    I have been watching all of your updates on the smoke ring forum. That thing looks great. Good luck on getting the temps fixed.
