    Cold smoked cheeses WGA

    Tonight I'm cold smoking a few blocks of gouda and old white cheddar in the Go Anywhere. It's a few degrees below freezing out. It makes a great little smoker. I did a couple blocks of havarti and gouda last month and it was amazing! I've just been buying inexpensive generic 1lb blocks but...

    Charcoal availability and pricing

    Guys don't forget to check the local grocery stores for charcoal (not just BBQ and hardware stores). Loblaws had a huge stack of "NoName" charcoal by the entrance the other day...

    Pizza help

    On the gas and charcoal BBQ I've tried aluminum pizza pans, pizza stones, cast iron pans, cast iron griddles. It's fun to experiment. I think my best results have been using cast iron in indirect heat charcoal BBQ for ~20+ minutes. The crust was crispy and the top was perfectly baked. Quick...

    Chefs Table-BBQ

    Just got watching this in the past week. I just have one more to watch on Rosalia Chay Chuc. This series is so well produced in everything from the photography, music, and the way they tell the story about each chef. Each episode is a feast for the eyes and the ears. It's got real soul and...

    Temperature measuring

    I picked up this Inkbird IHT-1P this week when it was on sale. I liked the fast read, folding waterproof design, backlit display and it is USB rechargeable. It looked well reviewed and good price point. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07XB11TQS/ So far it feels like it's well made and gives a...

    Temperature measuring

    Make sure your mode is set to Probe 2, and meat is set to BBQ. Then taste button should let you switch from HI to LO.

    Temperature measuring

    Interesting, maybe take a look at the manual I've posted above and see if your unit can do the low temp alarm feature like the unit I got last year. Perhaps you have an older version? When did you get your unit?

    Temperature measuring

    Yup, I've enjoyed using this feature and one of the reasons I chose this model. More info on this feature on page 7 of the manual https://buythermopro.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Thermopro-EN-DE-FR-IT-ES-TP-20-new-probes-instruction-manual-20180514.pdf

    Temperature measuring

    The $65 price right now for the TP20 is pretty good and well worth the $ in my opinion. You could easily spend twice that for some of the competing units out there for sale. I generally leave the probe inserted through the cook. Sometimes during a cook, I've had to move it to another piece of...

    Temperature measuring

    I've been very happy with my ThermoPro TP20. It's well known and well reviewed. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GE77QT0/ Fantastic to be able to monitor both the meat temp and BBQ temp from inside the house while I'm doing meal prep and the meat is cooking. I like how I can set alerts for if BBQ...

    charcoal GAWG

    Sure wish I did get shots of that roast and the plates. Totally forgot, we were so hungry! But the following days I took pics of how we used up the leftovers. Chopped up the left over prime rib roast and made pizzas and ramen noodle soup. I baked the pizzas in the WGAW on top of a 10 inch...

    What Next?

    Do some gourmet pizzas! This week I chopped up the left over prime rib roast. I added mushrooms and olives as well. I baked the pizzas in the charcoal BBQ on top of the cast iron griddle (or you could use a pizza stone, large cast iron pan etc). The family said it was the best pizza they've...

    Charcoal availability and pricing

    Picked up a couple more bags today to add to the stash "just in case" it's getting harder to find. Now I probably have enough stockpiled in the garage to last a few years :LOL: Always worth checking the inventory shown online for Home Depot or Canadian Tire before going into the store. Our...

    Things I've Learned

    (y) Well said. Esp if you've got a bunch of hungry mouths to feed before dark. Enjoy doing some practice cook outs first when there's not a hungry crowd waiting, when the time is flexible, and you can relax a bit when experimenting with trying new techniques. When learning something new...

    Quick cooks: Why start up the charcoal?

    I'd love to hear what everyone thinks: When charcoal briquettes can take a half hour just to get ashed over, why fire it up just for a quick cook? If you've got a gas grill that's fast and easy to use, why do you go to the extra time and effort of firing up your charcoal grill? Is it your...
