You can get the complete kit from firecraft.com, including free shipping, for about $375 delivered ($387 w/ the 8' probes) . Mine arrived on Saturday. Unfortunately, my schedule didn't include any time to play with it yet.

Thanks Bob!

LOL, Jay, my son busted me out for wearing socks with sandals this evening (when I slipped the sandals on to go out & tend the grill), so I enjoyed your pic :)

The gasket kit worked on my 18.5, but my 22.5 door was apparently too jacked up for the gasket to fix the problem. I have a Cajun Bandit door & compression latch in the mail to fix the door problem on the 22.5. From what I've read, a decent number of folks with the CB doors and compression...

Bob, that is exactly what I am planning on doing. Unfortunately, the next BBQ competition in my town doesn't have a brisket category. I still have a few leads on some local talent and am considering offering to buy a practice brisket for one of them if they'll let me probe it as it goes from...

Thanks for the extra research Mache! I had figured out to rest it until 170 before wrapping to keep it from continuing to cook, but you've given me a new use for the ATC that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I just hope I can hold temps as low as 160 after installing the CB door (which is also...

As others have suggested, if you haven't tried going without water, I HIGHLY recommend that you at least give it a try. A lot of us use a foiled clay saucer as a bit of a heat sink placed in a foiled water pan. I just don't use water any more, period. Clean-up amounts to wadding up and...

I wish I had thought to take a picture of the large branches and limbs in the bag of Best of the West mesquite lump that I got recently at Sam's. I guess I wasn't frustrated enough with them at the time. Anyway, in the same bag with the large limbs and branches, as I was preparing to grill...

My son came home from college this weekend, AND the store had a nice sale on lobster tails, so it seemed like a good excuse for Surf 'n Turf. Split a bone-in ribeye between the two of us, along with the tails, grilled asparagus, and roasted potatoes with bacon, onion, rosemary, parsley, and...

GREAT job! Looks fantastic. They're letting us off work early for Good Friday, and I'm headed to the store for ribeye.

It was a bit of a pain dealing with all of the tendons in the drumsticks. I saw a few videos that did them with wings, but I haven't tried that yet. Is it fairly time-consuming to make lollipops from wings?

Mine is in the mail, on the way, so I can't answer whether it's worth the money yet. On the price, no, the $295 doesn't include everything. You'll also need a fan ($72 for the 10 cfm) and an adapter or two ($20 each).

Looks great! I recently discovered Cornell chicken, and it's definitely a keeper.

I've smoked a couple of bone-in rib roasts, and they turned out pretty good. The smoke flavor wasn't overpowering at all. My go-to cook like this has become smoking an herb crusted tenderloin and then finishing it off with a sear on the kettle. I like the idea of smoking, cutting into steaks...

I missed on the skin and had to hold it as I bit through to keep it all from pulling off at once. A lot of foreign YouTube cooks batter and fry them, so I may try that or may try taking a Wingstop-like approach, fry them nekkid, and sauce them afterward.

Saw some pics of a chicken lollipop yesterday, which reminded me that I had never tried them. A friend is doing a crawfish boil on Easter Sunday, and I'm bringing some BBQ, so I wanted to test the chicken lollipops in advance, thinking they might have a nice Wow factor. Prepped them at...

Yes, THANK you to you guys who figured out the right compression latch to use and shared it with those of us who are more mechanically-challenged. The CB door and compression latch are on their way (to get ready for the CyberQ WiFi, which is also on the way). I'm looking forward to plugging...

Sriracha was originally made it Thailand, and they still make it there. In the US, most of what we get probably comes from a manufacturing plant in California (although, they may be moving the plant to Texas now that the city council at their current location decided that the plant was a public...

I've never seen or heard of anyone actually marking their vents like that. I don't. When I make notes like that, it's just an estimate from a quick look. Also, vent adjustments will vary wildly from smoker to smoker and even from cook to cook, based on things like how airtight your smoker is...

Thanks! I tried flipping my GrillGrates a couple of times when grilling steaks, and both times, the steaks acquired a weird/bad taste. I cleaned the bottoms of the grates well before using them, so I'm not sure what happened. I don't flip them anymore. My next experiment is going to be...
