Now I have to go get some salmon today! :D Just checked - my Q grill is not flat on the bottom. I have a cast iron dutch oven that I sometimes use as a frying pan. It works but I want a little bit bigger cooking surface. I saw this Lodge frying pan at a sporting goods store yesterday and...

I would like to sear fish/meat on my Q200 using a griddle of some sort but wondering if a griddle will get hot enough resting on top of the Q grate? My Q grate is a 1-piece unit. If so, any specific griddles that are recommended? I think something no bigger than half my standard grate surface...

Remove and replace batteries fixed it (same batteries)

I have what I think is the Redi-Chek ET-73 and plugged in my Smoker probe and put it in my heated up smoker. I got the LLL output which usually means low reading or bad probe. After 20 minutes it never started working including turning on/off and reseating the probe. So I plugged it into the...

I tried that, and have some pretty tiny bits. But mine were too big. These are pretty small holes on the Q.

About 25% of my burner holes have a little bit of rust or gunk restricting them down, which reduces the heat output. I have tried to use a tiny nail but it is hard to get adequate pressure on it to break the rust (hurts my poor little fingers). Is there a larger item I can use which will let me...

I'm grilling a steak tonight on my Q200. The flame looks weak and I get very little change between high and low. On high the flame looks like little blue nubs and is about 1/8 to no more than 1/4" high at best. My tank is full. Screen is clean. I turned off gas, unhooked the tank, hooked it...

I ended up rinsing under running tap water while rubbing it a bit with my fingers. Then added a little bbq sauce. That did the trick.

won't be ordering it from Maverick

I have not had as good a luck as you. They have had my credit card order for 10 business days with no order confirmation, courtesy response and of course no probe received. I should have known something was up when I could not get them to answer the phone for several calls in a row.

I used the Yum Yum rub to smoke some beef ribs. Meat came out tender but the rub is simply too salty for my taste. Not knocking the rub, maybe I even screwed up the ingredients. Regardless I can't stomach the thought of eating them again tonight unless I take the salt down. What to do? All I...

Chop up the dryer portions and have chopped brisket sandwiches. Some kinda good! Put a spread of horseradish sauce on the other slice.

I guess my question is specifically about how clean to make it. After a wash and towel drying I can see residue (non-chunky) which is probably more a film of what was laying up against the sides of the pot while cooking. I think I will get a nylon brush today and experiment with using that. On...

Not a recommendation, just answering the initial question. I tend to buy the standard Mr. Coffee 10 cup el-cheapo model from somewhere like K-mart. Mine get grungy and a lot of water spots and calcium spots. I usually replace every 2 or 3 years due to them getting so funky.

I have the Lodge 5 quart Dutch oven. I cook mostly cabbage and sausage in it. I give it a bath in hot water and then scrub out the cabbage scum with a unsoaped sponge. I prefer to really clean it good so the cabbage doesn't stink while the dutch oven is stored away. I'll give it a quick...

I see that Rustoleum offers the hi-temp (1200 degrees) in an Almond color. I think that is close to what my factory color is on the Q. If I find some at Lowes then I'll be painting mine after sanding down the lid. I wonder if a primer is recommended?

A neighbor cooked a buffalo tongue for us, finishing it with 30 minutes of smoke. I'd like to cook one predominately in the smoker. Does anybody have any advice for me to be successful? There is an initial boiling process I believe I have to follow - boil it so the skin can be removed. Then I...

I'm getting the dreaded HHH reading for the smoker probe on my ET-73. Maverick has an order form that you email them. I'm hesitant to order from them because they do not seem to answer their phones (I tried to order via phone) and they have not responded to an email I sent to the same email...

What temp is required to make wood chunks begin smoking? Assume an indirect method of using chunks. I would not think 200 - 300 degrees would be enough.

Are you getting one of the smaller units? If so, will it hold enough fuel for the duration of your cook? If not will reloading the burn cycle cause broad temp fluctuations? I have a woodstove (keeping me toasty today) my burn cycle is about 3 hours until I have to reload. Different sizes have...
