    Flagship 1100

    Yesterday I assembled and did the 400° burn in for about 90 minutes. Today I did some ribs, chicken breast, cream cheese. All turned out great. I can't get my phone to sync up with the grill though. I tried my wife's too and it wouldn't either. Both galaxy phones, note 9 and a S205g I read where...

    Homemade roast beef

    If you were to make roast beef at home, what cut would you use? I like Arby's but I think I can do better for cheaper. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    Burner problem

    I've fixed the issue with the crappy flame in the short pipe. My issue is when it's turned down really low, it will quit burning down the pipe and start out the venturi. Doesn't do it all the time though. Would shortening the 4in intake tubes help? I appreciate any info. This 60in long 1in pipe...

    Today's brisket

    I used a store bought rub my daughter got me for Christmas. Turned out pretty good. On the smoker for 5hrs and finished in the oven. Probably should have trimmed a little more fat off but oh well.

    1st brisket w/qview

    Today I used my Oklahoma joe for my 1st brisket. Used salt and pepper for rub. Smoked 250-300° for roughly 7hrs. Only thing I didn't do and should have would be to trim some of the fat.
