This is interesting. I bought the OTG at Home Depot and was shocked on the quality vs the Performer. The only thing that was equal was the grates and ash collector. I’m starting to think I got a Home Depot version “ aka dumb down version” like they seem to carry . I was looking at the OTG...

Thanks guys. That’s what I thought and have done in the past. I just never used the baskets before. Oh and wow I can’t believe the quality over the OTG. I had my OTG packed up and back in the box after 5 minutes. I was shocked how cheap it was I just wanted to add that I bought my OTG at HD ...

Hello all I’m the proud owner of new Performer ( Blue ). One question I have so far is when grilling direct do people like the charcoal baskets ? It seems such a small area to cook over. Now for indirect I think they are great. But I think spreading the coals out would give you more cooking...

I appreciate your effort. It certainly sheds more light on the subject.

Ok what I gather so far is some companies will dip certain woods (not including cherry) in chemicals before its kiln dried. Additionally some companies add chemicals to the steam AS its being dried. ( for all woods including cherry.) Do I have this correct? If so no cutoffs or ANY kiln dried...

Dang.. There seems to be a good amount of conflicting information….. Here I thought I was set for smoke wood for a while

This is great info . I feel better about using my Cherry cutoffs now. Thanks for the suggestions….

Does anyone have anymore info on this subject? I have a good amount of Cherry that was used on a stair case and also some oak from a cabinet maker. None of the wood has any stain varnish or anything on it. When it’s burnt it smells fine. I just assumed it was safe being kiln dried. Some people...

I agree 100% with Brian S For me Hammy is a sure sign of enhanced meat… bleh..I avoid it at all costs even if it means I cook something else. Not everyone agrees I’m sure. I have to wonder what market the meat packers are going for when they “enhance” the meat. I hope it’s not bbq. Like I...

lol when I first clicked your post this is what I read Task - prepare pork for porker party next friday. made me laugh anyway good post. Makes me want to put my ET-73 away for a while.

I Use it for lemonade. I always have the best lemonade for the next 2 weeks after each batch

I tend to agree. Thats just what the recipe in question calls or. I like a little less sugar in mine also

I think the recipe is 3 pints of water and 5 cups of sugar but that’s for 1 liter of 190 proof spirits ” Grain alcohol “ If you by the 750 ml bottles of spirits it will change the recipe. I believe it comes out to be 36oz water and roughly 4 cups sugar for each the 750 ml bottle Also I...

Hi all So what’s the consensus on how many key limes to use per 750 ml grain? Also does anyone know what time of year is best for lemons? As a side note I had great results using lemons from whole foods. They were huge and juicy. I wish I knew what kind of lemons they were. Thanks -Joe

Yes I would say that is not enough time. For instance I just did two 7-8 pounders and they took 18 hours .That was temp range 225 to 240. At that temp 11 hours there would be much fat and connective tissue left to be broken down. On the other hand I’m sure there are ways to get them done in...

Hello, I was wondering how everyone feels about adding sugar to butt rub. Typically my rib rub has brown sugar but for some reason I never added it to butt rub. What if any effect does it have on the bark? I would love to hear some opinions on this Thanks -Joe

Hi all, I was on my last bag of old Kingsford doing 2 8lb Butts MM. I was watching the temp go up via the ET73 .(from the couch) They were going up a little too slow so I decided to check it out. When I lifted the lid I found the grate probe was touching the meat!! Then I find the whole...

Hi all I came up with this while trying the Bone Sukin sauce clone recipe. 1 cup ketchup 1 cup Pineapple juice 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar Good squirt of Lime juice 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or Tabasco 1 Tablespoons brown sugar 2...

Has anyone had any good results with this recipe? I tried it a few times and wasn’t too happy. I gave up trying to clone it. But Ill post a variation I came while trying. -Joe
