Will post tomorrow, 275 4hrs, ACV and water spritz at 2 and 3 hours. Bumped up at 4hrs to 300 and added BBQ sauce. Pulled 40 minutes later, wrapped in tin foil and let rest for 20 minuets. Both Barb and I thought the ribs were great very tender considering they were in the freezer for a year and...

Want to try a simpler way to cook some baby backs without the mess of the wrap and the all day cook. I just saw something on here about that but of course I can't find it now. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Great cook, got to give that one a try.

Looking good, very good.

Nice to hear some positive things about the SmokeFire. It's been a rough ride for it.

Decisions decisions making which I like better would be a choice I could never make. I'm lucky enough to be half a**ed decent at BBQ. Baked things come from Barb or the bakery. Really outstanding cooks on both sides Kemper!

I really like JD as a daily driver. My problem with that barrel's worth of JD is that my doctor has already told me that when they cremate me my liver will burn for three days.

Like I said the JJ is our go to grill along with the E320 NG for quick cooks and our summer oven. You will be surprised on how much you can get on that JJ, with that said I also have a 22 performer for bigger cooks such as hot & fast ribs and large amounts of chicken or burgers, steaks etc. Then...

Every grill I've kept except one if it had a side burner I replaced it with a shelf. Our E320 NG work horse has a side burner and when I got it 14 years ago, I fired the side burner up to see if it worked ...it did, and it's never been fired up since. Just never had a use for it. I picked up...

What Barb said, we had the same dinner even talked about BBQ sauce but didn't pull the trigger.

The probe was placed right next to the grills probe. There was very little fluctuating, and it was reading almost 100 degrees hotter than the grills temp. The temp swing was about the same as the grills reading. Probe was in the grill for the whole cook. Going to try Dans suggestion, then drag...

Not a bad idea Dan, our oven also has convection as an option. Run it on the regular oven cycle that change it to the convection and see if it goes nuts then with the fan running. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks.

Did the boiling water test and it came up at 202 - 203 on all three probes, which is correct for our 5100 ft. altitude. So that's not it. I agree on the accuracy of TW, but if the temps had really been 400+ the chickens would have after two hours been crispy critters and they were not, the...

Welcome to the forum, it's a fun place. Lived for over 40 years in Orange County from 1963-2003. Grew up in Garden Grove and lived in Huntington Beach and Lake Forest until we retired and moved to AZ. Also a big fan of the Woodshed, now my son who still lives close to it gets my order every time...

As some of you know I've had my issues with Thermoworks on a few of their products. I will say their customer service has always been one step above. Which I appreciate, so before I drop this one on them, I thought I would run it by the forum to see what our experts think. I just replaced the...
