    Smoking Garlic Cloves

    Just something I serve with the garlic, cheese and crackers. You can also use Pita or other flatbread.

    Smoking Garlic Cloves

    The last time I did a couple of racks of ribs I roasted a whole garlic with them for the last two hours. I roast it on the rack above my water pan. I slice just the top 1/4 inch off of the cloves, extra virgin olive oil, fresh ground pepper and ground sea salt. As someone already said, leave the...

    Char Broil offset smoker/grill questions?

    funny, I wanted the 1280 because it has the rack. I use it extensively when I grill, especially for thick steaks and chicken. Wally World had a better smoker for just a bit more but it didn't have a rack.

    Smoked Chicken Thighs (Hickory Smoke)

    I have been using a brine on my chicken thighs with good success. Sea Salt, and Thai Basil and some Thai Chili sauce and bit of fresh garlic. the last ones were smoked with mulberry wood.

    Char Broil offset smoker/grill questions?

    I am not sure what measurements you mean. I gave you the size of the pans I used. Each were 18"x13" I know that they look almost square but this site seems to compress some pictures.

    Char Broil offset smoker/grill questions?

    I also got a 1280 for Father's Day. The FB side was 50 degrees hotter than the flue side. I got two heavy duty (commercial) sheet pans, raised the FB side of the coal grate to it's highest position and the flue side to the lowest. Now I have only about a 5-10 degree difference and I am getting...

    Lighting Charcoal

    Sorry, I know this is a zombie thread but didn't want to start a new one. I have a chimney but found that I can ball up the same amount of newspaper under the grate in my smoke box, lay down a layer of hardwood charcoal and top with a few sticks of hardwood kindling and light the paper...

    Fired up my new smoker and I am a bit peeved (Char-Broil 1280)

    I built my first fire in the smoker box and after about 10 minutes, all of the paint on the bottom 25% has already pealed off and left bare metal. I used the grate, and did not put coals directly on the bottom, under the grate (hot ash fell down, of course.) I did not line the bottom with foil...

    Sorry for the double post, I am still getting the hang of this site. I thought I had lost the first one.
