This is a praiseworthy project. Nice work! One of the best meals I ever had was at Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park (Chicago): One beef, juicy (dipped), sweet and hot (peppers). Fries. Lemon Ice. The Art of Ordering at Johnnie’s Beef I sat at the second table in this pic, with a concrete truck...

Looks good! Try tossing a handful of Fritos in there. The only time I buy them is for chili, and then they are a must have.

I was thinking it sounded okay, then I saw onion gravy. Now I'm all in!

Lamb pastrami is a new one on me (I've seen duck pastrami); it looks very good. Nice work! I went on a pastrami and bacon making kick when we were all stuck at home in 2020. I really wished I had a meat slicer to get thin cuts, but I couldn't justify such a large item eating space in the house...

I applaud your efforts, and the results look great. Pho is a favorite. I love to cook, but I've never tackled pho because (1) the time commitment to making the roasted-bones/charred-veg stock and (2) we have three good Vietnamese restaurants that serve delicious pho for a fraction of what it...

The Basement Hangout guys did a comparison cook of chuck roasts with Smoque and Searwood. The Searwood roast was said to (surprisingly) have more smoke flavor and be more tender. Searwood was a 10, and Smoque was an 8.5. They've done several pellet grill comparisons, some with blind taste...

Nice looking brisket! And it sounds like y'all had a great family gathering. I've yet to cook brisket on my pellet grill, and it may be a while longer. I glanced at briskets at Sam's the other day, and they were $100 or more for a decent size choice grade.

It's 8:00 a.m., and I just had a bowl of cereal, but I could eat a bowl of that chili right now. The only time I buy Fritos is for chili, and it's almost a must have.

My usual method for steaks is dry brine a couple hours or so in the refrigerator and add fresh cracked black pepper when ready to cook. I use the Genesis with Grill Grates (flat side), preheat to get them pretty hot, then put steaks on with lid open to sear a crust on each side (about 3...

OneGrill wrote back and said, "If you only need the bracket our 4PB19 bracket should work." Order placed. We'll see if it works. Tip for others fooling with similar issues: I have a OneGrill motor (for Genesis) and a Weber motor (for kettle rotisserie), and the slots where the motor slides...

We make them a time or two a year in a huge batch, eat several, and freeze the rest for later.

I have cooked many racks of lamb indirect on my kettle, with some chunks of cherry in the charcoal. I used to get two racks in a package at Sam's for about $25. Now you get one for that price. Dry brined one for a few hours in the fridge, then hit with cracked pepper and garlic powder before...

Well, I tried it, but it doesn't quite work. When I twist the bracket to line up the motor/hole with the spit, the front of the bracket hits the spit just before it gets where it needs to be. This is as close as it will get.

Meaning the original glow plug on a Searwood?

I don't know, but I'm going to try that later today. Thanks for the suggestion.

The "old" spit fits The old bracket does not put the motor where it needs to be for the Searwood. So I think the spit I have may work if I can just get the correct bracket for the Searwood, which will hold the motor in the right spot.

The holes in the bracket for the mounting bolts are fine. I mounted the bracket on the Searwood today. It just doesn't put the motor in the right place, and it's way off, so a different bracket is necessary.

I have a new Searwood 600 (not XL). I have a rotisserie kit for my old Genesis (Model No. 86631001, bought in 2016 just before a model change). Google AI says the roti kit for current Genesis will fit the Searwood, but the kit for my older Genesis will not. I put my old spit rod on the...

Good to hear. I've only had to call a couple of times, about a gasser, and both calls were many years ago. One call resulted in a no-questions-asked new shroud/lid to replace one that got rusty deep into the warranty. The most impressive thing was it was on a weekend, and they answered the...

Some very good ones. Thanks for the tips on temps. I'm definitely going to use higher heat next time. I've also checked grill temps during another cook, and it seems the Searwood is cooking fairly lower than its screen indicates.
