After coming out of hibernation, I went to fire up my Stoker and the only thing that seemed to work was the food probe and the white box. I couldn't get the blower to come on, nor the food probe. I don't really feel like messing with it. A new blower and fire pit probe runs about 90 bucks...

Sup folks, I see a lot has changed here the past few years. I got started back in 2007, got really into Q, got married, had kids and was too busy to for Q (sinful, I know). Now, I'm back, I've unpacked my Performer and WSM after years of non-use and neglect sitting out in the elements. I'm...

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has gotten StokerLog to run on Linux. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I figured I could use StokerLog 6 using WINE, but the executable never shows up when I double click on it. Anyone using Linux get Stokerlog to work ?

Here in Baltimore, where we got about 6 feet of snow in a matter of a week, I decided to try my best summer impression by grilling up a boneless leg of lamb for my wife for valentines day. Took a 3 lb boneless leg of lamb, which was pre-twined and marinated in the following: Didn't really...

Tonight is my first overnight smoke w/ my Stoker and Stokerlog... Using Stokerlog v6.3 and an about 2 hours in I'm loving this thing ! It's so cool, it's well worth the money. I'm doing a packer brisket (separated the point) and a pork butt. I decided to do the brisket texas style w/ just salt...

Hey ya'll, just got my stoker up and running for the first time and I'm having some issues. I've got some ribs on and I set a target temp of about 250* and I can't seem to quite get there. I'm hovering around 235-240 and the fan appears to be constantly on. I didn't have the hardware kit to...

Hey ya'll, I was out in San Diego this past weekend for the Chargers/Ravens game and my buddy out there had an older style Q... at least, I think it was older style. Anyway, it was great ! The cart folded up and slid into his small compact sedan and the grill followed. So, naturally, I want one...

So I opted to make some pulled pork for a holiday party tomorrow. I usually leave for work around 5:30 am. So, using a conservative 2 hrs/lb, I put two 6lb butts on at 5:45 pm today. It is now 8:35, roughly 3 hours into it, and I'm sitting at 130*. It's extremely windy outside and my temps are...

This past weekend my fiancé took a walk down to the local farmers market with our little Boxer pup and brought home some very nice looking veggies. One of the locals gave her a couple fist fulls of fresh rosemary, which smelled very very good. Last night, she had grad school class so I was left...

Hey, anyone ever have the igniter fail on their Performer? Mine is fairly newish, only about 25 cooks on it, and I had a heck of a time getting the Gas Assist started to light my chimney. Wound up using a long lighter to get it going. Replacement parts easy to install?

Last weekend I had grilled up about 10 chicken breasts I had marinating in the Roadside Chicken marinade for about a day. I love roadside chicken, but I also love HEAT! So I decided to throw some cayenne pepper into the baste when grilling. It gave the chicken breasts a deep red coloring and...

So they lady I bought my Performer from did not have the warranty card, just the user manual. I want to go ahead and register my grill because I just noticed the tiniest bit of rust around the handle of the kettle and one of the lid spindles is missing. Any idea where I can find it ?

Hey everyone, just found a great deal on a used performer but I'm not sure if it'll fit ! I've got an 08 Honda Civic Sedan.. The performer is fully assembled... I suppose, if I had to, use my wifes VW Jetta station wagon, but I'd rather not swap cars for the day.

Hey ya'll, what is everyone going to be smoking for the Super Bowl ? I'm thinking about doing ribs, because I start them at noon and have them ready for kick-off, but I was leaning towards maybe butt/brisket. Whats everyones thoughts ?

Recently, I've been looking into purchasing bulk quantities of meat. Especially now that I've really gotten into using my WSM almost every weekend. I find it very tough to find a good cut of meat in my area (North of Baltimore). Local supermarkets are pretty crappy. Anyways... If you were to...
