    Costco Kirkland Brat on Big Z

    Ordinarily I would not even bother to report on such an ordinary cook. But, I forgot just how incredibly good the Kirkland brats are. Nothing special done here. I dropped it on Big Z still frozen no less at 250. Let er' go until internal temp about 165. I've got really good little butcher shops...

    Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?

    So as a point of reference I did a fairly deep clean on Big Z tonight in prep of putting a bratwurst on it. Even cleaned the RTD, and did a scrape off of the deflector plate. Only thing I did not do was empty the grease catcher. Did not hurry or rush just did the job. 8 minutes. Doing the...

    Replacement remote thermo after 10 years

    Take a look at Chef IQ, ThermoPro as well has a new one that is both Bluetooth and WIFI I also have GovveLife noted in another thread. I still cannot make a total judgement on it yet. Overall pretty decent though. The cool thing about Chef IQ is they're totally sealed even deep fryer proof.

    4 probe temp monitor recommendations

    For me no wifi = no need or usable. Gotta be WIFI for my needs. When I'm smoking something like butt or brisket I'm not waiting around the grill. Either I'm gonna start it late at night, and occasionally check on it when I'm up to take a leak orr I may have to be out and about running around or...

    4 probe temp monitor recommendations

    My pellet grills are double walled construction. I easily get 15 hours from a full charge on the probes and base of both Chef IQ and GoveeLife https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGGPSX3N?tag=tvwb-20 And in both cases they not only have to get through a double walled grill but my house which is like a...

    Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?

    I only occasionally scrape anything and when I do it's only the main grease/heat deflector. And even when I do I only spend MAYBE a couple minutes. I still stand by both of mine being FAR FAR easier and faster to maintain then any gas or charcoal grill I've ever owned. Maybe I'm not as...

    Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?

    I am quite honestly lovin' steaks off my pellet grills and absolutely not missing so called "sear". I find I get to taste far more of the actual steak. YMMV but if my gas grill disappeared tomorrow I would not miss it. Rarely touch it honestly

    Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?

    I simply use a blue scotchbrite. (no scratch). Some Windex or such and it works fine. I only clean the probe every 4th or 5th cook. Depending on how long a cook I do I vacuum out usually every 2nd cook. Unless I've been doing a long overnight cook previously. Then I'll vacuum before using again...

    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    Yeah I'm over reading digital media. My eyes don't like it. Much prefer a book and actual pages. So usually if it's a book I might find myself using in the future as a reference, I buy it

    Lazy Old Weber Guy Here - Thinking of the Searwood: What's all the fuss over Grill Marks?

    IDK about Weber cleanup but I will tell anyone looking cleanup on my pellet grills is easy as pie. I'll take my pellet grill cleanup over any gas or charcoal grill. A scotchbrite for the temp probe, brush the grates, hit it with the shop vac and off to the races again. Even a REALLY deep clean...

    4 probe temp monitor recommendations

    Honestly hate mine. No range. Totally useless to me. Used maybe a few times and quit it and it's parts are sitting around here somewhere. If it can't get into my house it's no use

    The Humor Thread

    A man walks into a bar and orders a whiskey. He takes it outside to enjoy on the bench. As he’s sipping, a nun walks by and scolds him: “How can you pollute your soul with the Devil’s drink?” The man replies, “It’s not the Devil, it’s just whiskey.” The nun argues it’s wicked and sinful, but...

    Searwood - Yea or Nay?

    Well, not sure what to tell ya. I'd think the Searwood would give incredible bark. I get fantastic bark and burnt ends on pork butts and briskets, great bark on dino ribs as well on both Big Z and the Member's Mark. I have to think it's not the grill (no insult intended here) but maybe just...
