    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    So I finally got the parts in. They wouldn't split the replacemtn parts up and ship them separately when they were in stock so when one part came in the other was back ordered, rinse and repeat for months. On my third or fourth call to find out where my parts were, I was told I could accept a...

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    I made an error in my post. It has since been corrected. Temps at then grill grate are *lower* by 60-70 degrees at the smoke setting. If it was a programming issue and they know about it, why are they sending out new controllers?

    The problem with adjusting temps that way is the grill won't go in to smoking mode when you want smoking temperatures. If you want to cold smoke, it's fine though.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    I did some testing last night. The temperature at the grill grate is consistently 60-70 degrees lower than what the controller box is displaying for the grill. Broil King is replacing the controller, controller box, and grill probe. Of course, I have to provide the labor free of charge and...

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    I have mixed feelings. There are issues with temp measurement but it produces great flavor -- far better flavor than other pellet grills I've tried (which have mostly been cheap grills with the old style pellet management so perhaps it's just the PID.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    Sorry for the delayed reply. The probe on the grill acts like it's in the wrong place. It's accurate when the grill is just getting started (the grill temp shows the ambient temp), but it seems to be reporting about 40 degrees higher than what it should be after it's been going for a while. I'm...

    Pulled pork dumplings?

    Has anyone smoked a pork shoulder or pork butt and made dumplings with it? I didn't realize a package I bought was a double pack so I will have tons and tons of pulled pork to experiment with.

    difference between pellet types

    Can you light it at both ends for even more smoke flavor?

    I ended up keeping it. Even Recteq is made in China now and didn't see any other options in the $1,000 range.

    It came in on Monday, and it says made in China on the box. Live and learn. I'm mostly trying avoid products that are made in China.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    So it seems this grill is actually made in China and Broil King is hiding the information from consumers. Not a happy camper right now.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    They warranty claims they come out but I decided against the warranty in the end. I originally ordered it at an amazing price but I forgot to buy it through Amazon Smile so I cancelled it to re-order through Smile instead (I wanted to give a few dollars to a charity). Unfortunately, they had...

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    As the title states. I do have back issues so having someone come out to fix any issues for me would be a huge plus. I'm just not sure how easy Asurion is to deal with. As far as the grilol itself goes, I found a good deal on it, it has most of the features I want (just not the direct grill...

    New Masterbuilt Charcoal Cabinet Digital

    Good luck. Amazon is out of stock again but Masterbuilt has them in stock. Do you know if the temps can get low enough to smoke beef jerky?

    Char-griller grillin' pro model 3001 gas

    Don't really have any advice for you, except it might be easier to see if you can add a shelf to the top of the SFB (I've seen some set up like that). How mobile is the unit?  The SFB does have a handle at the end, and while there may be some flex to the metal (on the grill part -- was only...

    Does anyone have the Char Griller 3001?

    I'm thinking about getting this grill with the side fire box.  I'm thinking about using the side fire box for smoke flavor only, relying on gas to control temps (cooking offset).  My other option would be to get the four burner gas grill (4001, I think), but would not have the space for a side...

    Tisk.....Tisk

    Scrape as much out as you can and do a high heat burn (similar to what you'd do with a new smoker). Soap could leave a soapy taste on your food so make sure you rinse it out well.
