    Mini-review: iCelsius Wireless BBQ Thermometer

    Hey Tom- I got my icelsius wireless with dual probe in and have been playing around with it on the iPad. It seems to work really well with all sorts of useful features. I haven't used it on a cook yet but that may change today! Thanks again!

    Trying to make a pizza oven out of my Performer

    Nate- It's premade dough with fresh toppings...they came out really well. Temp held high and steady for about an hour. Will go all the way out tonight! Robert- Thanks! It's been a fun project. Generally, I buy the product and just go from there. But it seemed like I could save money...

    Hey Nate- No. It's just aluminum. I couldn't find SS. I think it's good up to 1300 degrees roughly. So far so good.

    Trying to make a pizza oven out of my Performer

    I've been working on the homemade pizza insert and so far it's coming out pretty good. I riveted the top and bottom to add some rigidity. Here's a pic:

    Trying to make a pizza oven out of my Performer

    Thanks James. I had already seen that video but when I watched it again just now I learned a little more. He went with the ring on the outside to hold the heat in better he said. Interesting. He also had a plasma cutter. I don't know if I'll be able to cut thru all the layers with my jigsaw or...

    Trying to make a pizza oven out of my Performer

    Hi everybody, This grill bug has caught me by storm!! We are grilling out virtually every single night and even doing breakfast of the weekends. Anyways, we love good pizza and like the looks of the Kettle Pizza but would like to make our own and add some mods to it. So far I've got a roll...

    Bakerstone Pizza Oven Box -Sale, End-of-Season

    Thanks Rita! Great information. Hope it works out for you. I wonder what they consider to be in their "ready" zone in terms of temps.

    Mini in Progress, But Lid Won't Fit on Steamer Pot

    I crimped the steamer pot and got the lid to fit. I'm smoking a whole chicken right now and temps holding pretty steady at 300. Can't wait for it to finish!

    Mini in Progress, But Lid Won't Fit on Steamer Pot

    Thanks Rob- I may look into getting some slip joint pliers. Tommy- We don't have Academy sports here in Louisville. I did look online though and found the 36 quart steamer for $55. I like the idea of the larger pot but not sure I want to order another one and take the chance that it...

    Mini in Progress, But Lid Won't Fit on Steamer Pot

    I got the IMUSA 32 quart steamer pot from Wal-Mart. It says that it's made in china on the box but the lid of the smokey joe will not fit it. The steamer pot top is just too big (or the smokey joe lid is too small...haha) However, the base seems to be a really good fit. I know that some have...

    Mini-review: iCelsius Wireless BBQ Thermometer

    Thanks Tom! I ordered the iCelsius Wireless unit that you reviewed. I only got the dual BBQ probe. Maybe a dumb question...but why would i need the single probe as well?

    Mini-review: iCelsius Wireless BBQ Thermometer

    Hey Tom- Have you heard back from Aginova on the melted heat shrink issue? I'm considering getting the wireless model. Any regrets or would you do it again? Lastly, I thought I read that up to 4 probes can be attached. Is that right? Thanks, Mike
