    the ceramics intrigue me for sure, been to my local ace hardware several times as they have been demonstrating the eggs and impressed with them then I saw the E6 in person...very nice the kettle could do everything I want, but a rare occurrence happened yesterday while smoking half chickens...a...

    any blackstone griddle fans out there?

    ok I have been having a blast with the 17, it works great at home on the patio but will pack up to transport for camping...the little coleman propane cylinders will fit inside the stove itself along with the temp control valve - grease cup and the griddle fits on top turned upside down...perfect...

    any blackstone griddle fans out there?

    Well I broke down and bought the smallest 17" version, been cooking on it all evening to break it in and decide if I like it. My main concern is will it do a good job at low temps as this is my preferred method for eggs and omelets for soft texture....it does, and I broke out some wagyu burger...

    any blackstone griddle fans out there?

    I just bought a blackstone, and a lodge griddle similar to that one... Ive been using a 1/4" thick baking steel sheet in my kettle, it's heavy and it does an excellent job but I plan on using the lodge cast iron griddle while camping and such which is lighter weight.

    any blackstone griddle fans out there?

    cooking outside is a bonus, certain foods can smell up the house for hours which eventually bothers me... My preferred steak method is cast iron now so this is one thing I want to do plus burgers and the small size would be good for camping

    any blackstone griddle fans out there?

    been thinking about getting the small version, looks like a blast to cook on ....is there a good alternative that could be used on a weber kettle or is the gas version better due to temp control?

    Brisket better than pork shoulder?

    brisket is harder to duplicate, I dont think ive had 2 taste exactly the same. If I'm looking to feed a bunch of people on the cheap I go the butt route ...I prefer brisket but pulled pork is good too

    Limiting Acrid Taste in a WSM

    I pre-heat the smoke wood which will get a nice blue stream fairly quickly after firing up the smoker, just like preheating splits when running an offset...I fire up the kettle first then put the wood over to one side indirect for about 45 min as I am getting the meat prepped. Let the smoker...

    Trouble Maintaining 250F+ in WSM 18

    high winds plus taking the lid off = high smoker temps, once you learn how to control the temp through vent adjustment the wsm is set it and forget it...if you have any gaps in the cooker sections can cause temp spikes as well, if you build a fire and close all the vents down but the fire isnt...

    Heat shield?

    meh never had an issue with heat causing damage below the cooker, concrete-wood deck.....I took mine off and used it for something else on my 18, it rattled around every time I moved the cooker

    What do you do with the leftover lit coals in your smoker?

    shut down the vents then I empty the left over coal from the wsm into a metal bucket with a lid, use it in the kettle on the next cook....I cook the entire meal on the kettle like putting bake potatoes on first then the meat ...any residual grease drippings in the coal get burned off before the...
