    Smoked Scallops (and shrimp)

    Looking for a little direction here... I want to smoke these on my pellet smoker, but i'm not planning on searing and plan on seasoning with some Old Bay. Need some advice on temp and for about how long? TIA!

    HELP! Camp Chef smoker now won't turn on!

    I went to start a cook today, plugged everything in, clicked the power on, the display came on for a second, then shut down. Now nothing. At all. I looked at the fuse...it LOOKS ok, but I'm going to bring it to the Depot to check it out. Any other suggestions?? Kinda desperate here.

    Camp Chef PID

    Hey, so I know that the PID shipping with Camp Chef right now is the wifi PID...I saw one that had 4 probes. Is that available for sale separately? Otherwise, have folks been using 3rd party PIDs? To be clear, there's nothing wrong with what I have, but the wifi/phone app aspect of it is...

    Poor Man's Burnt Ends

    Ok, so I decided to try it today using a steak and chop seasoning I had. 1) I did NOT expect the stall...that turned the whole affair into a MUCH longer cook than I'd expected. 2) I will be wrapping next time. Here's the finished product:

    Rib Rack for a Camp Chef?

    I'm posting this here because I have a Camp Chef which I love, but I'm not crazy about the capacity, particularly when it comes to ribs. I'm likely going to buy a rib rack, but before I do, I want to see what others have done. Thoughts? Kurt

    It's 34F outside...may as well smoke some wings...

    Yep...I'm going to a party later and thought I'd bring some smoked wings...no pre-Q pics, but I'll try to remember to take some post-smoke. I'm smoking at 275 for about 90-120 minutes. Using some off the shelf rub that i mixed with some oil and let the wings sit in ziplock bags overnight...

    Ribs on the smoker!

    I've got 2 racks of baby backs and 2 racks of spares. I usually stay away from spares as I've not had good luck with them, but the price was too good to pass up, so...I'm trying again. Here's the "before" q-view!

    Steak Tips on the Smoker

    Ok, so, I've purchased some steak tips from the local grocery store, already marinated. I'm wanting to put them on the smoker just to check it out. I'm presuming that just monitoring the temp to be around 135F for a medium rare-ish temp should be fine. Is there anything I need to watch out...

    Thigh Pans...

    Ok, this is weird, but I like the idea of putting chicken thighs in mini loaf pans to get them into a more uniform shape. I used some disposable loaf pans to double up on them and i also managed to find a wilton 6 loaf mini loaf pan to cook in. These worked great. However, 6 isn't going to...

    Today's Bacon Wrapped Thighs stuffed with Jalapenos and Cream Cheese

    Ok, so they ALL aren't with jalapenos because we've got some weird folks here who don't like those. Anyhow...this is all on my new Camp Chef PG24...I LOVE this thing... Q-View...finished product only...

    Camp Chef DLX - Dimensions?

    I didn't initially buy the "official" cover of the PG24, but am thinking that I'm going to want to cover it after I'm through smoking this weekend. There's a generic cover at Home Depot, I believe, that would be the right size. I think it said it was 65" standard. Has anyone used a generic...

    Well, pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef

    My new Camp Chef PG24 DLX will be arriving on Wednesday. Just in time to break it in for the weekend. I'm thinking chicken and ribs....

    Camp Chef PG24 - Thoughts?

    I'm likely buying my first pellet smoker soon. I've been leaning towards the Camp Chef PG24 due to good reviews and price point as well as reports of good customer service. It'll be my first pellet smoker. Anything I should watch out for? Anyone not happy with theirs? Thanks in advance, Kurt

    Tough decision....

    I'm now quite likely looking into a pellet smoker and need some advice from folks...Ideally, I'd like to spend around $400 and have a digital thermometer I can dial in. Thoughts? Kurt

    Baby Backs for the Super Bowl

    So, I'm in the middle of cooking them.  I'm in NH where it's cold outside. I've got my smoker stabilized at about 230 degrees.  I'm fine with this, but when I put the ribs it, the temp had dropped to 170 and took more than an hour to get where it is.  From a timing standpoint, how do I account...
